Ziva is amazing, and that's just all there is to it. *g*
I honestly cannot figure out if we're meant to find them likable
Yeah. I'm frequently very bewildered. I'm just chalking it up to a disconnect between writer(s) and audience. I think I'd be okay with the idea that Gibbs is just perpetually attracted to this personality type, if they didn't also seem to be insisting that I like them. I honestly don't think Jenny was originally supposed to be disliked at all, but somewhere along the way they figured out that she just wasn't catching on, and had to do something. Ironically, I kind of felt like the way they wrote her at the very end there finally hit the note they should have been taking with her all along. I respected her, even if I still wasn't sure I liked her.
Gnine's been urging me to watch White Collar for a while
DOOOO IIIIIT. White Collar makes me flail. I am not an OT3-er by nature, being boring and conventional and generally prone to monogamous OTPs, but this show converts even me. Neal and Peter and Elizabeth are all adorable and smart and so good together, and really there is no one on this show that I don't like. It's very typical of USA Network, with this emphasis on characters and team-y goodness, and capers going on around it all. I'm trying to spoil as little as I can, so I'll just say that this show is so much love. :)
