NCIS Escaped

[webbgirl]

There are things that bug me about this ep that I will get into at a later time, but can I just say GO DUCKY! I'm loving that he and Abby are clearly pissed with Gibbs for leaving in the first place and pissed that he expects to just come back and 'do his thing' when he feels like it.

I am, however, fearful of how the whole team leadership thing will work itself out. I really like Tony as a leader and frankly would like to see him put Gibbs in his place for that again.

We'll see how it goes by the end of the ep.

I'd almost rather they leave Team DiNozzo as is (though Lee I don't care about one way or another) and have Gibbs bumped up to Director. I know Gibbs would never do it though, as he'd want to be in the field and not dealing with politics, but it would also solve my problem of not liking Madame Director.*****

Hmm. *nods* I don't like Jen much either, but I can't put my finger on why. Probably because she wants Gibbs, and he belongs fairly and squarely to DiNozzo ;o) I do agree about Tony's team though, the only one who seemed to be pining for Gibbs was Abby and they did have a sweet lil thang going - couldn't take that to the bedroom, mind, too much like incest for me *shudder*, but I can see why she'd miss him.

For Ziva and McGee though (also not bothered about Lee, although she hasn't had much of a chance to improve) they seem to take Tony's leadership without any problem at all. It isn't fair for Gibbs to keep coming back to undermine that and now he's ensconced back in his chair, who knows what's going to happen.

I could see some good fic potential though, with Tony and Gibbs going through a bad patch in their relationship. A lot of crap has gone down, with Gibbs leaving without saying goodbye (WTF??) then coming and going without telling anyone, and packing up his house. Much potential.

For me, it's because I hate that we get another woman in power, yet TPTB have to put in a current or former romantic/sexual relationship with a co-worker to "add spice" to the show. Why couldn't we have a new female (or male) Director who didn't have a prior connection to the others, except maybe they worked together in the past?

I know what you're saying, they can't seem to help themselves. They can't seem to help putting in UST between Tony and Ziva, they couldn't help themselves putting in UST between Tony and Cait, and Gibbs and Cait... *shrug* I don't know. Maybe it's a manwriter thing. It seems to happen wherever you go. The trouble it's caused in Stargate *rolls eyes*

The daft thing is, I don't think it adds any more tension than having a woman director would have to begin with. Except perhaps to undermine her authority and have Gibbs ride roughshod all over her (no pun intended). He would never have dreamed of treating the previous Director the way he treats her sometimes. He appears to have very little respect.

I still see Alan Dale as Jim Robinson from Neighbours. I'm watching S1 now and seeing him as Director of NCIS is bizarre!

I think my dislike of Jen comes from her lack of balls when it comes to dealing with Gibbs. She's written as such a lovestruck girly. Makes me irritated :o(
