So that I don't get flamed or hate-mail, let me make one thing clear, I'm very much an NCIS fan - as much as an Aussie can be with our (12 episodes behind the US) handicap. However if you do have a comment, you can catch me at: stevo.89@gmail.com - the fastest way to access me if I've somehow missed an important episode.

But, thanks to a recent trip to the US - I'm all up on the details, having watched all the episodes. So, I've noticed some issues that I'm hoping the writers will resolve at some point (although they are indeed doing an awesome job now).

Also - if you do have Facebook - you can catch a group I moderate on at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2204698194 - the original creator may have mis-spelled 'hopelessly' however it's a pretty good group and we post a lot of information regarding this and other stuff. I'm currently an officer on the group under the name of Detective John Carson - NCIS fans should get the reference.

Gibbs
-----------
Who is the women with the red hair in seasons 1+2?


Deep Six:
-----------
I know Gibbs threatened to 'deep six' the next person who read/talked about the novel - but from my understanding - the writers seem to have totally moved on from it?
What happened at the end of McGee's original book that made Ducky tell McGee he needed to watch out for Tony? And this second book - what's actually progressing in there? (by the way, if any NCIS writer happens to be working on a copy of this Deep Six novel, you can always give one to me for proof-reading)

Palmer/Lee:
-------------
It's hard not to make jokes about the short-lived nature of sexual relationships, but my question is - what actually happened here?

Ziva's ties to Mossad:
-------------------------
Much as Ziva leaving the show would probably make me lose interest or just stop watching permanantly in protest, I'm pretty sure Ziva can't quite stay at NCIS indefinetely without something being addressed. At some point or other, the writers need to address how Ziva's stay as a Liason Officer with NCIS has been extended.
lllllllllSeason 5 update! Ziva was sent back to Mossad in the last minute of the last episode of season 5. How will this get resolved in season 6?

Revisiting the Dead:
-----------------------
Yeah, a Federal Agent/Police Officer can be killed every time they walk out the door, and the agents understand this. Still, it would be nice to see one episode start off with Tony/Gibbs/McGee or even Ziva visiting the grave of Kate, or Paula Cassidy or Chris Pacci. I just think - 30 seconds of the start of the episode (not the prologue, after the credits) - to see the entire team at Kate's grave (even Ziva - it would be a defining moment for her).
"""""GEOGRAPHY UPDATE: Gibbs had to fly to another state to attend Kate's funeral: her grave simply is in her hometown, and not near Washington DC.

Jeanne:
--------------------
A lot of people have suggested Jeanne needs to return - I think that the note was her last appearance - Tony has made his decision. Jeanne doesn't have to re-appear for it to become apparent Tony has given up on her or grown apart from her. That's not to say I wouldn't like her to return, but I won't die if she doesn't.
""""""UPDATE FROM SEASON 5: Tony and Jeanne met when Internal Affairs inquired into the La Grenouille affair, upon finding the Frog's body. Jeanne and Tony did meet, and did speak. She asked was any of it real. He lied and said "no", so that she would stop hoping for something that was impossible. Cruel to be kind. Oh, be still our melancholy hearts!

Abby working alone....
-------------------
Gibbs told Jenny that Abby works alone for a reason...while we are waiting for an official answer as to why, we can assume it's because she's a 'control freak' (or so she tells Fred in 5x03)

Also, what was Abby's birthday present that Gibbs left on her desk in season three "Ravenous". She said it was perfect and there was a yellow light, but they never say what it is.
Tony/Ziva:
-------------------
What exactly are Tony and Ziva doing in Ziva's apartment (as referenced by Mossad during Shalom (I think)).
And why didn't Ziva invite Tony to the dinner, to which she invited the rest of the team including Jimmy Palmer?

Ziva/McGee/Palmer
-------------------
How did Ziva get those friction burns on her knees (As seen in Boxed in, when Tony asks if they were playing twister)

Further to that:

Look - I think unlike a lot of people out there hoping Tony and Ziva will hook up - I'm quite content with letting the unresolved sexual tension (UST) continue.
My private fear is that the writer's will argue and do something stupid - i.e. the killing off of the David/DiNozzo unresolved sexual tension - whether it be by a relationship forming between them, or by (for some stupid reason) killing off David or DiNozzo - or having David shipped back to Israel.

A lot of us like the UST between these two - and I think that either resolving it, or ending it - would end a very enjoyable part of the show. Granted, when NCIS airs its final episode forever - I'd like to see Tony and Ziva together - perhaps there is an element of the shipper in me - but until that time, I'm just enjoying the flirting.
