In reference to the spoiler I'd posted before?

If that's what ya meant then I agree that they are the two most likely choices.

Reading that makes me think it's Ziva (But I'm hoping for 'Madam Director'.... and for Tobias to end up their boss joking ) McGee would tug at the heart strings no one is really suggesting him at all, he's not an obvious choice so I'm kinda hoping they do go for the obvious and that the twist isn't something cruel like that!

Ausiello on NCIS
Question: Regarding the series regular departing NCIS, how regular are we talking? Do you mean one of the main seven? — Moveegeek24
Ausiello: Yes, it's one of the main seven. And for the record, the main seven are Mark Harmon, Pauley Perrette, Cote de Pablo, Lauren Holly, Michael Weatherly, David McCallum and Sean Murray.

I think it's kinda unfair that Palmer gets a free pass

My favourite episodes would probably have to be Yankee White (for the gratuitous Air Force One references; that and it was just plain fantastic!) and SWAK (that was a stroll through many emotions)... And Frame Up from season three (clever and fun and it had a bit of forensic odontology, can't beat that )... and yup, the Kill Ari episodes were satisfying in the end

[Beccydoodaa]

The two Kill Aris used to feature quite highly in my books but for some reason there was a couple of weeks around early March where all I seemed to see was Kill Ari 1 &2 and so I got a bit tired of looking forward to something else and then seeing them both again. Not that they are bad I still watched them, of course.

Yuna, your spoiler makes me tremble! How can they do this to us?!

[Kymberlie]

I read your spoiler and really don't want to think its Ziva but after reading the little bit about Recoil now Im starting to think it could be.
If it is Ziva then thats crap! Why are they writing that the female field agent gets murdered for the second time? Stop breaking my heart lol.

Maybe they assume that killing off the women will have a better emotional reaction? Especially someone like Ziva who is the 'ninja' type and seems unkillable.

OR maybe they think that people don't like her as much because she replaced Kate? Personally, I prefer Ziva

The cast is mostly male which would probably score a higher percentage of female viewers so if they killed off a male character they may loose more viewings? On the other hand...who knows the way these crazy writer bunches work!

Don't lose hope Kymberlie!

Gah, I need to stop thinking too much! Too much speculation could be a bad thing...Does anyone know around what time this happens or what episode this supposedly is? I think I need to prepare myself lol. xx

[Pete_@_the_atrium]

Guys I don't think we need to worry for now. Here in Britain we're only in season 4 and will have to wait until next year to find out what actually happens. Lets remember this is an article from a TV magazine (is it an american magazine?) so most of their articles are going to be based on scuttlebutt (thought I'd get a NCIS/US Marine reference in). Knowing this show anythings possibles in terms of storyline but this article is likely to boost ratings and get more people interested in the show.

[Yuna47]

Hmm. Supposedly the rumour of

Spoiler:

Show

someone getting killed off

came from Shane Brennan... And as if we're gonna wait until next year to find out what happens! We've only got to wait for the last 4 or so episodes to be screened in America!

On the plus side for the writers and producers - no matter what happens, they've guaranteed viewer numbers will be through the roof ^_^ Smart move, eh?

[Kymberlie]

im from scotland and i've been on the internet watching all the eps so i am caught up! This country will not stop me lol.
I really need to stop liking this show as much :\ lol

[Beccydoodaa]

Yes, there is always youtube etc. we stalk..er...fans find a way lol.

If it is simply a rumour and doesn't develop at all, then that is one genius way of boosting ratings.

[Pete_@_the_atrium]

Season 5 coming soon, Sunday's 9pm on FX.

[Yuna47]

Which is ok if you have FX Heck, I'm stuck in a place that ain't even getting freeview until 2010, nevermind cool tv

You can't recieve Freeview!!???!! I thought it was nationwide now. Isn't it around 2010 that roughly 50% country is recieving a digital signal?

[Yuna47]

lol! I know! I think there's three transmitters that serve the area and the one that serves our flat is one of the three that doesn't transmit digital yet I'd even bought a TV with built in freeview in anticipation of being able to sit and watch Five US all day long...

I have new (totally unfounded) ideas ^_^

Spoiler:

Show

Gibbs - No Gibbs, no NCIS. Very much doubt it's him!
Director Shepard - seems to be the fan favourite for elimination, but possibly too obvious a choice?
Ducky - getting older and Palmer seems to be getting involved more...
Abby - My feelings aside, she's well liked. Could Gibbs handle losing another lady?
Tony - I really hope it's not him, but it's a distinct possibility. Once again though, Gibbs and him need each other - the whole dynamic is good ^_^
Ziva - as the peeps have been saying in various forums, just how long can her loan from Mossad continue
McGee - A quick browse through the IMDB shows that Sean Murray is now married and has a kid - maybe he wanted out to take some family time...

Over on the CBS board, http://www.cbs.com/primetime/ncis/community/ someone had a novel idea regarding Ausiello's suggestion of a long-lasting 'thing' related to the murder - what if a certain character got pregnant and the daddy got killed off? Interesting thought!

I agree with you on Gibbs (I think everyone will). I don't think it will be Tony, McGee or Abby (the programme wouldn't be the same without them, plus Abby has already had several attemps made on her life and Tony was almost framed for murder). I think it is going to be either Ducky, Shepard or Ziva. Reason - from doing a quick episode search on the internet I've found the plots for all episodes of season 5 except the last 2 (which haven't aired yet).

From this website
http://www.tv.com/ncis/show/16772/ep...own;dropdown;4
I've found the basic plot line for each season 5 episode. It's during the lower half that the story lines become relevant to the current discussion. I've learnt how to create a spoiler thing so that if you don't want to know you don't have to.

Spoiler:

Show

Epsiode: Stakeout
Plot Line: The NCIS team goes on a stakeout in a warehouse to catch a suspected thief of a high-tech naval radar, but they accidentally end up witnessing a murder. Meanwhile, Ducky hides a secret from the rest of the team.

Episode: Dog Tags
Plot Line: When a dog owner is found murdered, the NCIS team must determine if his dog committed the murder or not, and Abby decides to fight for the dog's life by trusting her instinct about the dog's innocence. Meanwhile, Gibbs learns about Jenny's secret.

Episode: Internal Affairs
Plot Line: The dead body of La Grenouille finally surfaces and the entire NCIS is put under the investigation by the FBI, with Jenny as the prime suspect for his murder.

Episode: In the Zone
Plot Line: Two members of the NCIS team are sent to Baghdad to investigate a mortar attack that turned into a murder investigation. I haven't found out who is sent to Iraq because it will spoil the episode

Epsiode: Recoil
Plot Line: While on an undercover mission, Ziva's life is put in grave danger when the serial killer she's been tracking becomes suspicious of her.

The last 2 episode on this list haven't had the plot lines added yet.

Season 5 looks like it'll be good!!! Can't wait for it to air over here.

[Beccydoodaa]

The episode description to Recoil can be found here:

WARNING - there be SPOILERS in there http://ncisspecialops.proboards29.co...lay&thread=668

Followed by a very active discussion by many devoted NCIS fans

I don't post on this NCIS forum, I just lurk but it does come in very useful.

Spoiler:

Show

I am definitely leaning towards Ducky, McGee, Jenny or Ziva. Unfortunately I love all of them except Jenny and I don't think it will be her as it is too obvious Fingers crossed.

Also on that forum are supposed episodes, as follows:
5x16 Recoil
5x17 About Face
5x18 Judgment 1
5x19 Judgment 2

Let me just say, SQUEEEEE, at the last two!!

Oh, the excitement!!

[Yuna47]

Nice finds people!

'Judgement Day' sound very intriguing

And as sad as I will be to see someone go (I'll be devastated, believe me!) I hope it lives up to the hype!

Not really any more rumblings in rumour-land just now... Anyone finds anything - keep us posted please!

The latest rumours ^_^

Spoiler:

Show

It's beginning to look as if the exciting stuff (tragic really ) happens in the final episode of the season. Supposedly, Ziva and Tony are on protection detail for Jenny that has me worried

[Kymberlie]

Im worried after so much Nikki in the last ep especially since it showed her translating in Iraq which is part of Ziva's speciality!


eeek how i cannot wait for the season finale!

[Yuna47]

Oooooooh! I've not seen it yet But from what I've heard she's not a great actress at all

And no one can pull off OCD like Monk can

I know if it was the actor (or actress) who was looking to escape, there was not much they could do about that. But depending on who is going, ratings could plummet. I would want a happy ending and definitely don't want to see the show plummet into obscurity like so many others

[Kymberlie]

she's not a good actress in my personal opinion but that may be because i cannot take to her character more than her actual acting skills.
