NCIS fail

[donutsweeper]

I firmly believe that Jackie Vance would know to duck without a moment's hesitation when her husband comes running out with a gun, yelling.

Writers, we are not stupid.

BWAH- Ziva just called Tony her big brother! So much for TIVA.

Do you like 7th season Ziva?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I'm not a Ziva fan. I don't think she's written consistently at all, particularly this season.

[kensieg.livejournal.com]

I liked her better in previous seasons. She was uber competent, this season she seems less so.

I don't like Tony at all. He acts like a jerk most of the time.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Tony hasn't been written well recently, but he's my favorite- I think it's all a front he puts up to hide behind.

[tejas.livejournal.com]

Mine, too. If you ignore most of the last season and this season, he's delightfully complex.

[tejas.livejournal.com]

Ziva's never been written as particularly competent, which is part of the problem.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I still think she was introduced wrong. Her first act was to support Ari and tell everyone (Gibbs especially) that they were wrong about him and he was misunderstood and whatnot. Which, was hard to buy as a viewer, since we'd seen him kill Kate and fire on Abby and whatnot. So her support of Ari? Started her off on the wrong foot IMO.

[tejas.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. She started out wrong and has been wrong or incompetent ever since.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

He misrepresentation of Israelis really bothers me. Especially her language problems.

[tejas.livejournal.com]

His misrepresentation of women pisses me off far more.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Ah, there is that.

Someone posted a great thread once about all her improper Israeli bits. It was enlightening, even for me who has worked with many for a number of years.

[tejas.livejournal.com]

I bet. I'm not at all surprised he got that wrong, too.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

It's a shame because I'd love to like a strong female character

[tejas.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it would be nice. Wonder if we'll ever see one.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Kate was getting there

[tejas.livejournal.com]

*sigh* Yep.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

ah well, at least we can remember her fondly

[kensieg.livejournal.com]

Gibbs is my favorite. Fornell in 2d place and Trent Kort in 3d.

:-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

:-) indeed!

He pointed the gun at her TWICE in that episode! I just, ARGH.

I'm just gonna watch NCIS: LA and pretend these last couple seasons of NCIS NEVER HAPPENED.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

The plots in NCIS:LA suck too. I really don't think the writers are paying attention AT ALL to what backstory they are coming up with for G, but I'm not emotionally invested so I don't care.

I'm sticking with NCIS until at least the 150th episode, Tony's dad shows up for it!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I'm just glad there's less back story for them to screw up, so far. And I'm totally in love with Nate, a lot of which has to do with him managing to shove all 6' 4" of himself behind Heddy's desk.

Really?! SWEET.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

You hadn't heard? He's being played by Robert Wagner!!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I sort of fail at keeping up with TV news, anymore. Doesn't help that I don't actually watch TV on TV.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

spoilersforncis and ohnotheydidnt pretty much keep me up to date without having to pay too much attention to the TV

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

ONTD is great for that sort of thing. I think I need to just start following that, more.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

that whole having a life thing can get in the way of that

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

True. I mean, eventually you have to get off the computer and go out for coffee.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Coffee AND donuts.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. Can't forget the donuts.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

it would be sacrilege

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Not to mention, just plain wrong.

I have found that I don't have a problem at all with skipping NCIS to watch V. Because yes, this season is making me cringe.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I thought about watching V, but had decided ages ago not to get interesting in any show that was complicated because it would be canceled long before anything was explained (I tend to have VERY bad luck regarding that) but maybe that means V will last since I'm NOT watching it?

I only pay half-attention to NCIS these days, it's sad. It was my favorite show for so long.

[phoenix64.livejournal.com]

I don't think I could not watch V, considering my relationship to the original. OK, I could stop watching it if it completely sucked, but I don't think it does. Also, Suprise Alan Tudyk!
