Ohmo October 5, 2017 Share October 5, 2017 7 hours ago, pally said: I'd like to see the show end while on top but I think it ends only when Mark Harmon decides to move on Mark's been in the business for many years, and he's always talked about what's good for the show. If we lose David and Pauley, we will be left with McGee, Gibbs, and Palmer. I don't mind Bishop or Nick, I honestly don't, but the hallmark of NCIS has been the depth of the connections. Through no fault of their own, Bishop and Nick are new characters. Blended with the established characters, they have a place on the canvas, but by themselves with just Gibbs, there's nothing really to anchor them. Like they may intellectually know that Gibbs lost his wife and child, but they don't know how much it consumed him and how long it did so. Ducky, Abby, and McGee do. Kate is of minimal (if any) significance to them. They are unaware of the depth of the meaning of "probie" as it relates to McGee or even to Gibbs in terms of Franks. Again, not a fault of Bishop or Nick for being so new, but when you're faced with establishing almost all new links with Gibbs because it is now impossible to play the established ones because cast members have left, I think it's time to end the show. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13482-ncis-in-the-media/page/6/#findComment-3694326

Misslindsey October 5, 2017 Share October 5, 2017 Quote I'm not surprised she's leaving. The character hasn't really changed much over 15 seasons, and there isn't much you can really do with a labrat character like Abby, because she doesn't have the same skill set to be involved in storylines like the other characters can be. I imagine it must get pretty boring playing the same types of scenes over and over again as an actor. You could take so many Abby scenes and not have a clue which episode it is because they're all fairly similar. I'd like to see Abby decide to change or adjust her career somehow and go off into the sunset that way. I agree. That is one of the reasons why I was fine with Michael Weatherly leaving as well. Their characters seemed so stagnant. DiNozzo was never going to get his own team, because that means he would not be around and they never seemed to want him to get a serious love interest because that shut the door on all things Ziva. The first couple of seasons Abby's personality was more low key, than the made her so over the top. I do think they have tried to tone it a bit the past few seasons. TPTB did not seem to interested in letting their character's grow. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13482-ncis-in-the-media/page/6/#findComment-3695148
anna0852 October 5, 2017 Share October 5, 2017 With long-running shows like this it seems to be that you either have to turn the cast over on a fairly regular basis, like er did or you have to be committed to keeping pretty much the same cast the whole time. Like someone referenced up above it's very difficult to bring in new people towards the very end and expect to get the same connections that have been so enjoyable with the old crew.

JessDVD October 5, 2017 Share October 5, 2017 I feel like with Pauley's departure, and I think David McCallum's is imminent as well, the show still has potential *as long as* they don't fall into the same spot as they did with Michael Weatherly's, adding a million people. I'd like to see them pick between Torres and Reeves (I'd prefer Reeves but I'm sure it would be Torres), promote Jimmy to Ducky's spot (maybe show an assistant doing work in the background, but not have him as a character any more than the guy from S1), and get a new forensic person. Team is Gibbs, McGee, Bishop, and Torres. Palmer takes a greater role. New forensic person has a smaller part than Abby did. I feel like though it does lack what the show started with, it's still a reasonable combination of old and new. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13482-ncis-in-the-media/page/6/#findComment-3695240
Chaos Theory October 5, 2017 Share October 5, 2017 (edited) I tend to like this show because the turnover is respectable. They do occasionally bring in other teams / divisions / cast members even if it is for the short run. I actually hated the Tony/Ziva pairing with a blinding and firey passion. So much so that I prefer the early Bishop episodes 1000x over the late Ziva ones. I am actually curious as to how the show plans to write off Abby a character who has stated she never wants to leave. Then again people do change and she might be given a reason she didn't have before.

enoughcats October 6, 2017 Share October 6, 2017 Bishop has been there for a while, but I don't feel that I know her. I liked her Mother and her brothers and almost remember them more clearly than I remember her in those episodes. Maybe if the disasterous end to her marriage had been handled with more skill by the writers, I wouldn't still feel an attachment to her ex and less to her. I can see in the DC area groups of working professionals not having high turnovers- a good paying job with a home that isn't an hour long commute each way. Any change is going to really tear up habits. That said, Abby has been shown to have connections to other labs. And there are other technicians out there with her skills. I've been bothered that she hasn't been shown upgrading her equipment, studying how to modernize it, and how to keep her lab ultra clean. (The dog in the lab still rankles my sensitivities.) Reasons for a lab in a basement: less vibration from street traffic. Reasons for labs NOT in the basement of an old building: cleanliness. Don't replace Abby with another cute girl; bring in a serious scientist of either sex who is 90% work and 8% unknown and 2% quirk. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13482-ncis-in-the-media/page/6/#findComment-3698811

Ohmo January 11, 2018 Share January 11, 2018 (edited) I don't believe this either. If Mark behaved this way, I think we would have seen evidence of it before now. Also, years ago, there was speculation that Pauley might have to depart the show due to the situation with her ex. That never happened. If there had been an issue between Mark and Pauley, that would have been the perfect time for her to leave with perfect cover, Pauley has also been one to publicize NCIS heavily for years, which has long been referred to (by the cast no less) as "Mark's show/sandbox." Now, if you replaced "Pauley" with "Cote" in this article, that I'd buy. There were whispers that Cote and Mark clashed, and Cote rarely did publicity. Emily is also still there, and for as much as some don't like her character, I think she would have left if the environment were that toxic. Pauley and Mark have worked together for a decade and a half. I don't think Mark's behavior would have shifted that much toward Pauley without at least some rumors surfacing. Like I said, rumors have surfaced about Mark and Cote. I think the "last year" is simply that Pauley gave them a lot of notice, similar to the way Michael did.

That is an incorrect statement. Like others, I haven't been counting, and I'd be willing to say they might be doing FEWER scenes, but they have indeed shared at least a single scene. The use of the word single is loaded language. Plus, I think Abby's screen time can be explained in that we're soon going to see a lot of her. I read an article years ago where some industry person said it's common practice that when a major character is written out, the actor/actress is minimally featured for a period of time because exiting the character usually involves a lot of screen time, and the performer will be working a bunch at that point. If Abby and Gibbs don't share significant scenes once her departure arc starts, that could be an eyebrow-raising event, but I think we're still in the "plausible explanation" stage now.

(Seriously, Show, what’s going on with that? It’s like when Alicia Florrick suddenly stopped doing scenes with Kalinda on The Good Wife.) Well, the first we debunked ourselves, because they have shared scenes this season; just not as many and I suspect and stated I thought it was due to letting the viewers get to know Jack; at Abby's expense. And I also stated that this is NOWHERE close to Margulies and Panjabi, where rumors and articles were abounding and the INSULT of a split screen to "show" us that it wasn't a split screen and those two actually were in the scene. Not to mention that Panjabi, after she left the show, addressed it. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13482-ncis-in-the-media/page/6/#findComment-3956990
Ohmo January 11, 2018 Share January 11, 2018 (edited) More thoughts about Gibbs/Abby and Mark's power. He undoubtedly has it. There was the ousting of Bellisario. There was speculation that Mark was not thrilled with the Los Angeles spin off. LA hasn't occupied the same night as the mothership for years, nor has Gibbs appeared on LA in years. I will always believe that Mark was displeased with the manner in which Cote left and that has something to do with why we haven't seen her since. The whole thing with Diane Neal (Borin). I don't think NCIS TPTB were pleased as a whole, but I also think Mark was also displeased. Those are all instances where I believe that he has invoked his significant status on some level. If Mark and Pauley were really and truly at odds, I'd think he'd be exerting power, not her, AND while there would still be an exit story for Abby because of her importance to the series, no way do I think it would stretch to May if Mark and Pauley were clashing. I think one would have been written and filmed by Christmas, (warm and fuzzy send-off for Abby during the holiday season) not wait until spring if there were issues between the two actors.

Regarding Cote, even David McCallum was unhappy with how she left the show and commented on it to the media. Diane Neal flat out shot herself in the foot. If you have a work problem, you talk to TPTB behind closed doors - not on social media. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13482-ncis-in-the-media/page/6/#findComment-3958663

And after all this talk about Bud and JAG, I've a yen to pull out my dvds and rewatch, even though I just did a rewatch over the summer!

Ohmo January 12, 2018 Share January 12, 2018 Not sure of the complete details. I only read about it later. What I read is this: Diane Neal alleged on Twitter that there was a situation involving unsafe working conditions on the New Orleans set, and the issue was being ignored. This went on for a series of tweets. Somehow, an NCIS producer became aware of the situation and publicly told Diane via Twitter that this was not an appropriate forum to address such a situation. From what I recall, Diane's tweets had a combative tone to them. She deleted them within hours, but the damage was done. She hasn't appeared as Borin since.

Methinks I'll need to have a chat with Donna Kauffman. Why yes, I do know her. I've met her several times at book signings over the past 20 odd years, and we actually saw each other last summer after nearly 10 years. It was great to see her again, and I got mega hugs from her. She knows me by name, so yeah, I feel comfortable in saying I know her! Plus, she's local. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13482-ncis-in-the-media/page/6/#findComment-3959141

Like others, I haven't been counting, and I'd be willing to say they might be doing FEWER scenes, but they have indeed shared at least a single scene. The use of the word single is loaded language. Have they? I've seen every epi this season and I can't actually remember them in the same room. They've been in scenes we're they're talking via video, but I honestly don't remember them being in the same room at the same time.

There's another interaction of Gibbs and Abby that, as I remember this season versus previous seasons, is missing: Gibbs is no longer the person bringing her her Calfpow. That came to me recently when I think the giver of Calfpow was Tim. Anyway, a binge watch this summer of repeats might make Calfpow sightings more meaningful, or not.

Caff as in caffeine, not calf as in baby cows ;) I watched some season 3 episodes just prior to watching tonight's episode, and the difference is quite noticeable (not Abby/Gibbs specifically, but the whole show.

betsyboo January 24, 2018 Share January 24, 2018 EW recap: Quote Okay, it’s impossible to ignore at this point: When’s the last time Abby and Gibbs were in a scene together? We’ve gotten “Abby Skypes in” scenes and references to Gibbs having just been in the lab, like he’s Tino in My So-Called Life, but the two haven’t shared any screen time this season, and I don’t believe they had much last season, either. (Please don’t let this be a Margulies/Panjabi situation.) 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13482-ncis-in-the-media/page/6/#findComment-3995777

If they're raised properly. Just like two-legged children. I know a pit who lives down the block. There's a sign on the gate that says 'security dog.' Well yeah, if by 'security dog' you mean, 'beware he'll kiss you to death' lol! He's the biggest mush you'll ever see. He makes friends with the teeniest, tiniest little dogs and rarely even barks. He's always happy to see people and all the kids in the neighborhood stop by after school to play with him. :) 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13482-ncis-in-the-media/page/6/#findComment-4040318
