Back to the NCIS Jabber

I have a theory about what may happen in a couple of the upcoming episodes based on spoilers that have been floating around. It's just a theory, but since it's based on the spoilers DO NOT CLICK IF YOU'RE AVOIDING THEM! TURN BACK NOW!

So during a run up to the season finale, we're evidently supposed to get quite a bit of TIVA (I think I threw up a little even typing the smooshing) stuff going on. The spoilers have been purposefully vague as to how far it goes, but there is a mention of a triangle with Tony, Ziva and Michael (the guy from Israel). It also says that there's a bunch of angst and that there will be tragedy involved.

Another spoiler indicates that there will be an undercover Mossad agent posing as an arms dealer.

So here's my theory...Michael and Ziva were involved in Israel. She may even be in love with him, but decided to move on since she's been in the U.S. Tony and Ziva get close and either have sex or come close to it. Michael shows up in the picture during the case. Tony ends up shooting him, either by accident or because something goes wrong. This then completely destroys the chances of Tony and Ziva moving on happily ever after as a couple. It also creates tension moving into the next season.

An off-shoot of my theory that is a little more in the 'wishful thinking' category on my part at the moment is that Tony decides to leave the team because of this.

TPTB for the show are completely with enamored with cliff-hangers and love creating that type of drama that carries from one season to the next. I think Tony leaving the team (only temporarily though) is something that they might consider playing with. It would fall in line with some of the threads we've seen happening since Season 4 really.
So? What do ya'll think?

Something like that could really pull the team apart or bring them closer together.

But not too much hand-wringing. I do get tired of the hand-wringing in H/C fic.

[captain-tiv.livejournal.com]

Some does take a while to get through, doesn't it?

[tejas.livejournal.com]

Yep. Though, I do realize some folks love that, so y'know, go for it. I just prefer less than others (I have been known to fall head over heels with a 'hand-wringing' fic - it's all in the execution).

When I've found the time, which really isn't often lately, I've been taking a gander at the NCIS fic on Fanfiction.net. There are a lot of stories that have Gibbs only wringing his hands when no one sees, being protective when anyone is near and being gruff/supportive/nice when Tony's awake but hurt. I have to admit I'm currently hooked on that particular characterization of Gibbs.

What I think of when I think of 'hand-wringing' fic is when large portions of real estate is given over to the parade of friends emoting all over the place but not actually *accomplishing* anything. I ran into so much of it in SG-1 fandom, that I think I'm overly sensitive now. ;-)

I feel an H/C essay coming on. :-)

[captain-tiv.livejournal.com]

Oooh! I love essays! Especially fic-related ones.

[tejas.livejournal.com]

I'm finding I like writing them. When I catch myself going on and on and on in comments, I realize maybe I should just stick it in an essay and point people to it. :-)

[captain-tiv.livejournal.com]

Go for it. I honestly think that people could earn PhDs on fic writing styles, do's and don't's, etc.

[tejas.livejournal.com]

"I hold PhDs in rantography, canonistics and ficology."

:-)

[captain-tiv.livejournal.com]

LOL!

That *so* needs to be on a Daniel icon. :-) I just don't know what image it should be over. :-)

[captain-tiv.livejournal.com]

Maybe a gif with revolving pics?

Rantography -- One False Step when he gets angry and yells at Jack in his office?

Canonistics -- Daniel with a book in his hands standing in front of a group of people, basically explaining how to get from A to Z by way of M.

Ficology -- Daniel sitting at his desk writing

*Perfect*!

Now, if only I had any icon-fu. :-)
