For me, the annoying thing is that sloppy writing means I can no longer accept NCIS as-is. I'm so annoyed with the way the writers abuse Tony's levity and humor, at the cost of the little scenes we used to get, where MW got to shine and hint that Tony is much more than the comic relief.
And I think, especially now when I'm rewatching Stargate, where they do manage to have a guy who's part funny as hell - part professional to the core (I'm thinking of Jack O'Neill here).
Really, Tony has always been my favorite character, but the way he's being written right now, you'd think the writers didn't watch the show. You'd think they haven't got a clue just how much MW infuses Tony with. And you'd definitely think that they've forgotten that Tony is Gibbs' senior field agent. Because, really? That in itself should tell them that Tony is much, much more than just the comic relief. He's a competent, skilled agent, the one person aside from Ducky who'll stand up to Gibbs in a snit, and the one guy Gibbs will entrust with his team in times of crises.
