NCIS Hawaii: A moving farewell to the cast of the series

The sun is setting on NCIS: Hawaii. The cast of the series actually got together for a perfect sunset just weeks after the CBS show was canceled, a shocking decision that caught them by surprise.

Last month, CBS ended the series before its Season 3 finale, leaving the cast confused and heartbroken, fans angry and the show with an unresolved ending — all despite solid ratings of about 10 million viewers per episode.

The news that there would be no Season 4 came just a month after filming the Season 3 finale, and they couldn’t say goodbye: so they decided to do something about it.

As the air hits the water and the water hits the land, the waves join the shore, some with tremendous impact, and then… go away again. You see… we’re not meant to be here forever, we’re on borrowed time. We value what we have been given to use, nurture it, and then leave something better for the future dreamer.
