I've actually been secretly praying that Tony is the character for the spinoff (for pretty much the exact reasons you've listed here) and that TPTB have just been keeping it under super-secret wraps.
Watching the earlier seasons on DVD recently makes me sad for what seems to be missing in the Gibbs/DiNozzo relationship right now. Both on a gen and a slashy level.
On another note: is it just me, or is Tony and Jenny's relationship something of a desert in fanfic territory? Jenny always seems to get cast as a villain when she's not being shipped, that I've seen, but I don't think she and Tony had a negative relationship.
YES!! Thank you. I actually saw their relationship in Season 4 as being a better one than what Gibbs and Tony have right now. She seemed to respect him more as a leader rather than just a member of 'her' team.
I do blame lazy writing overall, but I'm hoping that all of this stuff does end up panning out to something interesting for Tony by the end of the season.
