I didn’t know about the Tiva part of the episode or I wouldn’t have watched it. I almost didn’t – I just had a bad vibe about it but eventually put it down to having a bad dinner. No! My gut would not betray me like that!
But you’re right – with the huge numbers the show is pulling in there won’t be many changes to the current format which means we’ll get more Tiva, no character development for Abby, McGee will continue to stagnate, Ducky will deliver a few words of wisdom and then disappear, Jimmy will stutter humorously before fleeing the scene and Gibbs will turn into the uber father figure for everyone on his team rather than their boss. Not really the show I want to watch.
I remember being totally excited when I heard David McCallum was going to be in a two-part “Jag” episode for a possible spin-off. I was giddy with anticipation and loved every minute of it. Of course, in the actual series the characters were very different than they were in “Jag” but I liked them almost as much. Never liked Ziva, even though I was never a massive fan of Kate, but was enjoying the show so I stuck with it. It went from ‘must-watch-TV’ to ‘oh-it’s-Tuesday-NCIS-is-on’ to ‘oh-it’s-on-demand-so-I-don’t-have-to-watch-it-live’ to ‘not-bothering-anymore’.
I almost feel betrayed because I was fairly certain I’d read that Tiva was no more because Harmon & Weatherly thought it was dumb and they finally had the pull to make it go away. At least they managed to stop Tony from being dumbed down, but it’s too little late I fear.
