NCIS fail

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Kate was getting there

[tejas.livejournal.com]

*sigh* Yep.

ah well, at least we can remember her fondly
