I dunno if this was supposed to be a great romantic moment for Tiva. I retched enough seeing the previews for the simple fact that my Tony would not do such a thing. Screw Tiva. I'm furious that once again Tony's OOC due to Tiva. My Tony would've never gotten into that elevator. And my Tony wouldn't make stupid, sexist, inappropriate comments in such a dangerous situation ("the earth moved" or some such bullshit...really?!). My Tony would be worried sick about his friends and coworkers and chew Ziva out for being stupid and hauling him into the elevator. Hell, my Tony wouldn't be in that position because he'd NEVER ENTERED THAT ELEVATOR. I'm DONE with stupid!Tony and I was so happy that GG understood the character and gave me my Tony back. But now we're clearly on the road to dumbed down, stupid, no balls!Tony again, because that's the only way to get to Tiva. And I ain't cool with that.

Sorry, venting. And I haven't even seen the ep. (I downloaded it and might watch it since y'all gave it a tentative okay. Gonna watch The Voice first though. That's how important NCIS is to me these days.)

Also? I'm reacting almost violently every single time I see Ziva touch him in some way. Why? Because I flashback to every single event when Cote touched Michael without his permission and/or against his explicit wishes. Makes my skin crawl. That might be because I don't consider CdP to be a good actress, meaning, I see Ziva, I see her. (Unlike the other actors and their characters. I see Tony, not Michael. I see Gibbs, not Mark. Ya know?)

That was what was being established in the shistorm Tv Line stuff yesterday, from what I could tell.

The episode worked for me--pretty much every mix you could imagine was there. Lovely moments that could be read as McGibbs and Gibbs/Palmer, Palmer/Ducky, Abby/Ziva, Ducky/Gibbs, etc.

I know what you mean about the Ziva touching. A lot of folks seem to feel the same way.

I backbuttoned out of the TV Line article so fast, I left skid marks. Honestly, what is wrong with people? Good lord, show us your true colors, why don't you?! *shudders* *backs away slowly from Teh Crazies*

OMG you and me both! I saw it and headed riiiight out. But it spilled over a bit onto Twitter and such.

...and that's why I stay far, faaar away from things like Twitter or Facebook and the like. I find out about the spoilers, wrinkle my nose at the Tiva anvils, secretly hope for good stuff regarding the rest, and otherwise hide in my corner.

I just had a look at the comments. Thats okay--people can expend the emotional energy on attacking...not for me!! I read the tweets, went back to my thang, and had a good night :)
