NCIS Fandom, Tiva and My Thoughts.

[karababe_64]

Season 7 of NCIS is will start next month. After the horribleness that was season 6 (excluding a certain couple of episodes) it is with a certain nervousness that I wait for the season opener. Will the issues of season 6 be resolved or will it continue to go downhill? Considering that Shane Brennan’s comments appear to show that he doesn’t realise

*applauds* well written. I've also noticed a lot of tension on communities and haven't really written anything there because some people take the fandom way too seriously and I don't want to get my head bitten off. I generally like Tiva, but I've read some fics where they've been paired with other characters and really enjoyed them. I don't really care what other people ship or don't ship. Each to their own. It irritates me when they get aggressive about it

Thanks. It is something that has been annoying me for a while but I think it has gotten worse recently. You hear about other fandoms like House that are destroyed because of shipping wars and I don't want that to happen with NCIS.

Yes, exactly. It's so frustrating and depressing.

I hope so but as NCIS gets more popular I think that it is only going to get worse. :(

It is an excellent post and I agree with your comment. (I wasn't going to reply to this post at all, yet, because my own emotions are running high, but I couldn't let your comment go unremarked.) Feeling like someone with a cheating spouse you still love is *exactly* what this feels like (to a far lesser degree, of course). I don't want to leave until I know he's simply not going to stop. I have too much time, effort and emotion invested in "him".

Yeah, "his" "mother" never did like "me" anyway. :-)

I completely agree.That's frustrated me in the first 2 seasons.I noticed that confrontation in the last 2 seasons too.Truth to be told( I just have to say that,and i hope you know I don't mean any harm),at the beginning of my obsession with NCIS I was frustrated,because some shippers looked down on those who doesn't ship cannon pairings-Kate/Ari,Abby/Tony-they didn't had so many adherents and therefore the people,who shipped them were...strange for the other shipper.The same is now with McGee/Ziva-I had a friend,whi likes them very much ,but can't voice her opinion,because she don't want to start a dispute which ship is more convincing.The funny thing is that ANY ship is possible on NCIS,because this show is a paradise for ships.We can pair any character with any other character,and it still be a convincing ship.How much convinsing is other question,but there are hints for every possible imagine couple on the show-which one is viewer's OTP is his/hers decision

I ship Tony/Abby and don't have any trouble with people because of it. And I'm still friends with you even though I dislike the idea of Gibbs/Ziva, Gibbs/Kate and you are still friends with me even with me shipping Tony/Kate, Tony/Ziva, Tony/Abby... :)

Yes, NCIS is great for shipping all different pairings. Like I mentioned above I don't just have one ship because on the show there is so much to support each different pairing.

Totally agree with you.

Great minds think alike.:)This show made me see that the differences can be quite inetresting-to see the other's POV is like I was blind and someone allow me to see the world for the first time.It's exciting.:)

Shoot, I'm a staunch OTPer, but even *I* can see lots of the other ships in this show, they just don't interest me enough to want to read or write them. NCIS is pairing *gold*. :-)
