On your six, boss
I think I'm about caught up with NCIS, thoughts in bullet points
- I like Jenny, I didn't during the third season but I like Jenny once she stepped out from under Gibbs' shadow. I thought her obsession was a little too much but the way she died fighting has my respect plus her whole arc made Tony grow-up a little.
- I also happen to like Jeanne, I like how tough she was and how Tony seemed to be really in love with her, it was too bad she was caught in the crossfire.
- Mann. I wanted more of her, I liked Mann with Gibbs, more than I like Jenny with Gibbs because I thought they really felt like it was relationship that could work.
- Love how ensemble it is brought together by this extraordinary man, one of the best bosses in a cop show (yes, I'm looking at you Tidwell.)
- Ziva. How do you become more and more awesome? I loved her knockdown fight with the beefed up Marine. I love they never forget that she's a highly trained assassin and never forget that she's changed too.
- Love the character continuity, I honestly never expected that.
- Vance, a worthy successor and, much as I've come to like Jenny, Vance works in a way that Jenny took time to develop. He instantly had that 'boss-ness'.
- Mike Franks. The original boss. He taught Gibbs everything he knows and still an awesome man, old school and kick ass and Mike 'Frelling' Franks. Yeah, he's a misogynist but he owns it and respects skills (yes, still looking at you Tidwell).
- Gibbs. Oh, Gibbs he's just... he's changed and yet he's essentially still the same man. I loved his smile when he got to drive his car.
- Tony's still smarmy but now you can see that its really part of the mask and falling in love with Jeanne was both the best and the worst thing to ever happen to him. But I think he really needs to run his own team, Vance sees this but Tony and Gibbs are still holding on to the old dynamic but he's been second to Gibbs for years now and he deserves his own team. Of course that would only end up breaking my heart when the time comes still...
Watching NCIS makes me lament Dani's development, especially with 'Crushed' I kind of feel they're really putting Reese in the background and slowly taking away her awesome. Ziva is allowed to be sexy and practical and kick ass, she can put her hair up and down and it's just... I hope I'm wrong about Dani.
I don't want Dani's sole story line be about hooking up with Tidwell (which seems to be more and more the case) and my God, does the LAPD need that sexual harassment seminar more than ever. I don't care how realistic it is that scene last episode just -- it made me want to take a shower.
Watching NCIS also made me wish Crews and Reese had a better boss, hell, had Gibbs as a boss. I really don't think Tidwell is even contributing anything to the team, to the case. He's just the comic relief and his insights aren't anything Crews and Reese can't come up with.
I don't want to be negative about the show or feel disillusioned but it is worrying me, Dani is my One True Character in the show, the character I view the episodes in and that's it? That's her storyline? Her arc? Hook-up with the lecherous, greasy captain?
The thing about the whole thing is that Dani has stated plain as day that she finds his behavior offensive, that she wants nothing to do with Tidwell and he's just brushing it off.
I'm sorry, I don't think I can ever like Tidwell as they'd expect me too or be onboard on Tidwell and Reese hooking-up. Maybe it would be better if the show presented the hook-up as a 'Bad Thing' but it doesn't feel that way, it feels like that the show wants its audience to get onboard and see Tidwell's antics as 'cute' or her relationship with Tidwell as funny. It isn't. It's skeevy. It makes me want to kick him and institute a restraining order.
I don't want Dani to just take it anymore with perplexed expressions, I want her to snap. I want my Dani Reese back and kick Tidwell's or any other random guy who keep telling her she's hot.
God, I want Ziva to take Dani out, a night out and kick some perp's ass. They can make fun of Tony and buy guns together and be total badass BFFs.
I guess I was a lot affected with the 'inoffensive' episode than I thought.
