ophelias_heartThis is about NCIS and while it doesn't contain spoilers I am adding a warning. I am not trying to be negative or cause a fight. This thought literally just hit my like a ton of bricks and actually made took my anger down to a dull roar. I posted this on tumblr a min ago and it just made me feel so much better I wanted to share. I am NOT quitting NCISverse or anything like that, I just wanted to share my thoughts:
It just hit me what has been bothering me about NCIS for a long time. For several seasons something was missing and I just couldn't pin down what. They aren't the little show that could anymore, they are the top dog and have been for so long they don't remember anything else. They are so afraid of not being top dog that they don't take chances anymore. Have any of the EP's been there since the beginning? On Ziva's eighth episode they are making out, rolling around on a bed joking about her being pregnant. The last episode that I remember freaking out over is Truth and Consequences. I'm not saying they haven't had good episodes, but even when the building exploded none of them were injured to the extent that they could have been from their proximity to the bomb (from my perspective). Anyway my point is that they are so afraid of not being number one that they can't/won't rock the boat. Okay, so Jackie Vance and Eli David were killed, you maybe saw them on an episode once or twice a year. That's why after eight years Tony and Ziva had two kisses. That's why the car crash didn't injure Ziva or Tony to any degree. I loved NCIS and I will always have love about that show, but I can't keep watching. And I understand that this is going to upset people, but I think I would have liked the episode more if they had killed Ziva off. Or done something that was special. It hurts my heart that this show is no longer the show I fell in love with. I will continue to follow everyone I met through NCIS and I will still watch NCIS LA, but I just don't WANT to watch it anymore. I feel better just knowing why I was sad about not just this past episode, but the show in general. I love all of you and I don't mean to offend anyone, I just had an epiphany and wanted to share.
