It was a good episode, but... yeah. It was just loosely enough constructed and had just enough missing scenes and just enough meaningful pauses that it was practically cooing "Write fiiiic...." I mean, it would be a godsend to a good writer. But not a lot of good writers have tried their hand at NCIS fic. There are a few good stories, but there's mostly an abundance of mega-h/c, cuddly OOC mush, lack of humor (the show is funny, guys! Come on!), weird nicknames- which doesn't even touch the issue of what Tony would call Gibbs. Jethro? Really hard to picture. Leroy? No one calls him Leroy. "Jet" or "Jeth"? The heck?- tears, lots of tears... it ain't pretty. And I'm sure there's Kate/Tony out there. But I haven't gone looking either. I like my eyes, and I'd hate to have to gouge them out. ;)
