Watching NCIS

[liliaeth]

I just marathoned through NCIS s1-3 (let's just say I started watching the show after I started writing a crossover of it with X-men, that I still have to post on my lj.

Anyway, what I want to ask you guys is...

Why didn't anyone tell me how awesome this show is?

Strong female characters, women that actually interact with one another about something other than men All my fave characters on this show are female.

Kate (still mourning her), Zhiva, Director Sheppard, Abby... All strong individuals, with actual personality who can stand up to any male character on any other show.

And hey, the guys aren't too bad either. Kinda liking Tony, in the way that you like a toddler that makes you laugh even as you get embarrassed for him, and then suddenly susprises you doing something utterly awesome. McGee is the man, he's just so cool. And I even like Gibbs, just finished watching the double parter ending s3 and it makes him so much more interesting. He was a bit too perfect before that.

Jimmy is pretty cool, even though I liked Gerald better. (and I wish the show could get him back) The only thing this show really needs is more poc....

Anyway, looking forward to renting s4

Uhm, please don't spoil me k, I may be spoiled up to the point that I've read crossovers with the show before, but I'd rather not be too spoiled beyond the point I already am. (must admit knowing Kate was going to die, really had me worried throughout the first two seasons, whenever she came anywhere near danger)

Just hoping that the show's continuity stays as good as it is now.

It's a lot of fun. I'm not convinced that it's kept its momentum in the last couple of seasons but I'm still watching, which is more than I can say for CSI and a lot of other shows I used to love.

Oh I am very fond of NCIS. Although I've never watched it in order, as I just watch it whenever I happen to come across it. But it really is delightful, and the female characters are awesome. Esp Abby. <3

NCIS is forever awesome. :D

The continuity definitely holds up, and bit by bit you get to see more of the character's histories and twisty turny bits that are AMAZING. CBS does the best dramas. /happy sigh

after 8 seasons I'm a bit over Abby but I still like the rest. I did a s1-6 marathon over winter. My fav is of course Tony and I love how we get to see a little more behind the mask with each season ..... but Ziva is HOT too =)

It's a fun show. I never got into it enough to be really fannish about it, but it's good entertainment; I like the characters. Haven't seen the latest two seasons yet, but I'll probably catch up eventually. (I have a few gen fic recs somewhere in case you're interested.)

I like NCIS but I've never been really fanish about it either. tari-roo has a great NCIS/SPN Xover you might like. It's is a weird Gen AU slave fic.
