"OK, Ziva is leaving the show, how do we replace her, anyone, no suggestions, you are all just sitting there, HOW do we replace her character on the show?" Is there hope, she was not killed or eliminated in an way .... maybe?
When she came on board, her predecessor was killed, so there was no change of her coming back, that door closed, and Ziva was born and eased into her role. She did it well, dug right in, but was always a little mysterious, her background and previous training sprung up slowly, she often surprised us by what she knew or could do.
I have been watching TV since it started. There have been some really good shows, and it seems like each season or so, one could come along that surpassed previous quality. It is personal preference, but I think that NCIS had all the ingredients necessary to be one of the greatest, the cast was near perfection from the start, why they deemed it necessary to replace Kate, I don't know, but adding Ziva to the cast was a stroke of genius, and she just kept getting better. How unenviable a task is it for Emily Wickersham, I think that is her name, to replace Ziva. "Here kid, you're gonna replace Babe Ruth, do a good job."
There have been "genius" casts put together in the past, but I think this one, so far, is superb. Anyone remember, the first season it was "Navy NCIS." Then they dropped the Navy.
I would like to see Cote de Pablo go on The Price is Right, along with Angie Harmon, and the gals that are already there, Manuela, Amber, Gwendolyn and especially Rachel, Drew, who is he?
