NCIS - THE TIVA CHRONICLES

TIVA : TO BE OR NOT TO BE





One of the most watched shows on TV today is NCIS and with good reason going from strength to strength from season one and no airing season 11, NCIS has brought us tear-jerking moments, outright gory and violent moments and moments that leave us with shock and awe.

But none of those moments compare for me to those with Tony and Ziva and those up close and personal moments where you as the viewer can hope for nothing more that Tony to reach over and kiss Ziva with all the love you can see in his eyes whenever he looks at her. So I guess I want to give a brief rundown of this romance that never happened and saddens me to no avail.

Tony the forever playboy and Ziva the eternal tomboy with the romantic side that would make most people blush. We have seen both characters date and get close to numerous beau's but you never quiet see the same spark or emotional vulnerability in these other relationships than what you see in just a smoldering look that they throw each others way. 

Look at when Ziva went missing after leaving on the Damocles, and Tony was the one that eventually gathered the wagons and led the team to trace her whereabouts and rescue her. His montage spoke to something in me, maybe it was the fact that he did it all for the girl irrespective of the consequences or that the entire team is a like a family and work so well and I guess that is something I have always strived for. His willingness to do what ever it takes for the girl is what drove me to fall in love with this match-up.

When Ziva's father, Eli David was assassinated it was Tony that was there for her. When she went to Israel and went missing for a while again it was Tony again that put everything aside to find her, and their final goodbye had me in tears. 




I guess this is something we all wish we could find, now most of us would act on these feelings and the fact that they never did leaves us with that unfinished business feeling but that was the right move for the show and the characters at the time. With the departure of Ziva from the show I am still feeling that emptiness, and even the fact that they replaced her with Emily Wickersham still does absolutely nothing to fill that void. 

After Kate's death, I was skeptical that they would be able to find someone to replace her, but Ziva from the get go was able to more than make up for Kate's departure and unfortunately Bishop just is not doing the same job.
For me you can not go wrong with a tried and tested method, bring Ziva back and for goodness sake can she and Tony get together, or even write Tony out and have him meet up with Ziva wherever she is so they can silence their unrequited love. I would appreciate such an ending to the story far more than trying to watch something that does not feel right.



The team is not the team, Gibbs is boss and will always be, Abby and McGee the reliable ones , Ducky the wise one and Tony and Ziva should be Tiva, but I can't figure out who Bishop should / must be, that is just the right way for it to be. But hey that is just the rambles of a #1 fan that has religiously watched NCIS from the get go, what would I know

Let's hope something drastically happens when the show starts up in 2015
