How do I start a new thread. My opinion: NCIS spends too much time trying to make the characrters cute.

What do you mean by that???

The banter between the characters is what makes the show so great. Without it, it would just be another CSI clone.

Last night, I laughed my ass off with the comments that went back and forth between Gibbs and Tony about Sears and between Gibbs and McGee about the spinning hubcaps. I also like the sexual chemistry between Tony and Kate. They are so good together. I loved when Tony found Kate's wet t-shirt photo at the end.

ragincajun, It was one of the best eps yet! You are so right about the whole concept of the show. I love it!!

Hey just found this forum! I absolutely love this show. Was glad I gave it a chance... My dad just retired from NCIS, he was in 30 years, and my Big Brother just received his NCIS Credentials a year ago. So this show is very near and dear to my

Plus I love Tony, was in love with him in Dark Angel too!

Welcome to this forum! I lurk all over the board! When NCIS is a repeat, then I watch Idol. Love all the characters and they do bring in some humor!

Totally agree with you with the exception of watching AI during repeats. I'd rather eat my own voimit than watch AI.

This season of AI, sucks! You made me laugh, pretty discriptive!!!!!!!!

Actually my dad said it's pretty accurate. Unlike CSI, which I love, he said "that's not how it really is you know."

My brother actually went to the set in CA and met some of the actors, he's stationed out at Camp Pendleton area so was close by the filming areas.

Dad actually remembers some cases similar to what happens on the show. Pretty neat inside info....

---

How great is that, inside info, and meeting some of the actors!!

Oh no! Someone isn't going to survive the season finale! I love all of the characters, they can't kill one off!!! I read on the Zap2it article that viewers could be very angry about who dies in next weeks finale! The dynamics of all these character/actors is so great I will hate to see one go!

Anyone have any thoughts on who it might be?

Well, because CBS is going after a younger audience, how about Duckie???? He would be the one that I would miss the least. He can be irritating at times.

---

Well, it can't be Gibbs, because the show does revolve around his team...and it wouldn't work if it wasn't HIS team.

If it was Tony, I think they'd have killed him off last week with the plague. I don't think they'd have him survive the plague only to die two weeks later.

I doubt it's Abby, as she never leaves the lab...unless the lab blows up, of course.

Ducky's sidekick, Mr. Palmer, would be a good choice...except that I don't think anyone would miss him enough for it to be "big."

McGee's death would kill me...I love his geekiness!

And it could be Kate, although I doubt they'd kill off the lone female agent. But that's why it would be big.


My guess: it's among Ducky, Kate or McGee. I just hope it's not McGee!!!

See! That's my problem, I like all of them. I am however very attached to Gibbs and Tony, I love the personality Tony has on the show and always am laughing out loud whenever he interacts with anyone. I agree Red, I think he wouldn't have made it last show if he was going to die. But I have to say I really like Duckie...he just makes me laugh. I can't take it! Why do they have to kill off characters from a show when I actually (for once) like all of the characters! I know not personal or anything, but still, it could hurt the show to do that.

And I thought Ari was really a good guy, being an undercover bad guy operative.

Maybe it's all a hoax and hype, like with Survivors "shocking" moments....

Last night, I was so shocked, but today, I'm sort of pissed. I really like Sasha Alexander, and I hope that she finds another series soon. I don't know how the dynamics will work now, because so much of what made the show great was Tony and Kate's sexual banter.

While, like you LJake, I wouldn't be happy with an immediate replacement, the show does need a strong female presence. Without it, it would just be one big testosterone hour. Do you remember that female agent that Tony had the hots for in Guantanomo? They might be considering her, but I think that they need to get a well known, younger-appealing actress to help improve the show's ratings against AI, you know someone like Heather Locklear, Tiffany Thiesson, or Jeri Ryan.

Why do you guys think Ari chose to shoot Kate? When he had gibbs and tony standing right next to her? To hurt them maybe?

---

All I can think of is when Ari and gibbs were having coffee, gibbs said if you go near her, I'll kill you, so I guess he wanted to hurt them. Now, we will wait and see what happens next season. Meantime, we will enjoy summer and not think about it!!

Any chance Kate's death might prove to be another "dream sequence"?
Earlier in the show, Gibbs was shown with his throat apparently cut (by Ari)...it then turned out to be what Kate had dreamed, instead.

I was shocked by the ending. I thought that it would be McGee. I didn't want to see any of them go because I liked the entire cast. I don't understand why these shows think they will improve by killing off a major character.

Either last week or this week's TVGuide says that Sasha Alexander, who played Kate, asked to be let out of her contract. She couldn't take the grind of a weekly show anymore. She was burned out.

Apparently, management didn't want to kill her off either. At least we know why it was her now.

Yeah, I read that too. I'm at least a little happier now that it was her choice to leave. I've also read that they will replace her with another female, but they want to give the show a more international flair so they will be hiring either a European or Australian actress.

---

I read that to in TV Guide, but I will still miss the interaction between Kate and Tony!
