I’d love to know where you read that re Harmon and Weatherly. I think a lot of fans have guessed that’s what Weatherly in particular feels, but there’s been no official word that it’s what happened. I must admit when GG took over, it looked to me like MH and MW genuinely liked him and had his ear. Whereas it seemed that MH in particular didn’t get on well with Shane Brennan, the previous showrunner.
A lot of us thought that with MH being exec producer, he used his clout to speak to GG about the damage being done to Tony’s character under SB and how stupid Tiva had become. During the early part of S9 I think we DID think that’s what had happened and GG had listened and maybe Tiva was gone for good. No such luck. I think they saw the Tiva fans wailing and panicked and thought they should throw them a bone. Sadly, that bone proved fairly indigestible for the rest of us.
it’s all about the characters’ love lives now. Poor Ducky is so underused it’s criminal and we barely see Abby either. I hope DM WANTS to be working so much less than he did in the beginning because otherwise I’m furious on his behalf. He’s one of the main reasons I watched the show in the beginning too – I’ve been a fan since The Great Escape. I adored him as a kid – in those war movies, and in Sapphire and Steel etc. And PP has a massive following but they barely use her – it’s all Ziva all the time. I’m sick to death of Ziva now. I’ve never hated a fictional character more. I utterly despise her.
You definitely should have listened to your gut! LOL! I was told not to watch it by people I trust so I didn’t. In fact, I’ve given up on it now. I just don’t care enough to keep bothering with a show that is really pretty crappy compared to PoI or Suits. Its mytharcs are laughable and its characterisations are poor. It now just seems like any other soap with a bit of a murder thrown in along the way. And maybe the occasional boat.
I personally hope the ratings drop. It seems unfair that much better shows aren’t getting anywhere near the same huge audiences while this crap brings in the numbers every week. If the ratings dropped in reaction to Tiva that’d be great *g*. I’m not expecting it though. NCIS appears to be a bullet proof juggernaut right now. It’s safe and formulaic and people like that.
