I totally get your frustration with Tony. Next week sounds like more grief for Tony but that’s what happens when Senior visits, especially twice in one season. lol I liked “Patience” in general but it wasn’t exactly Tony centered, it just featured Tony in more of the episode which sadly, we’ve been lacking lately. I have to laugh at the idea of Bishop going with Gibbs to Afghanistan while Tony is left behind. There is just not much I think they can do with character that will impress me. We will see about next week because Tony and Senior do tend to make up somewhat after every episode he appears in. As long as they don’t kill Senior off, there is hope. lol

I thought Tony was fine in Patience. I felt that everyone had a part to play and to me, those are the better more enjoyable episodes. Honestly, I’m so tired of poor little St. McGee that I was glad to see him portrayed as the jerk instead of Tony for a change. I feel that Tony will pay the price though. He is definitely scheduled to play the team’s butt monkey in the upcoming Lost in Translation and if this season’s usual writing practices continues, we’ll see plenty more of insignificant or butt monkey Tony while Gibbs and McGee shine in any plot or scene that is exciting or matters in the NCIS world. I fear next week’s episode once again won’t put Tony in any danger or portray him in a flattering way. I think that the writers are justifying, by giving us a story they can point to as Tony centric, so that the finale can feature and flatter the usual McGibbs pairing.

I remember reading this interview when they first introduced her but maybe he changed his mind about where the relationship is headed. I don’t know. I know some people think they are cute and I don’t hate Zoe. An off screen relationship is always possible. Did you like Tony in last nights episode?? I know a lot of people were impressed by the amount of the episode he was in. Many people were also upset at how McGee was behaving when he found out about the op and the fact that him, Ziva, and Gibbs all knew about it but him. Still, my Tiva shipper heart will always hold out hope for them to end up together but for now, there are worse people he can be with than Zoe.

Do you remember where you read the interview with GG? I would just love to see an episode where we see Tony’s skills as a great, brave, and smart agent highlighted instead of seeing another Senior episode where Tony walks around in a nervous snit while others shine. That joke has gotten old. TPTB using Tony for nothing but the humiliation moment has gotten old. Can’t they give him a dramatic and suspenseful episode instead? They’ve certainly written plenty of the them for Gibbs and McGee this season. I would like to see Zoe and Tony continue a mostly off screen relationship, but since it’s Tony, and they seem to love to write the “comedy” of personal failures for him, I imagine this relationship will bite the dust. That way the can keep the tiva fans hopeful and on the hook. They don’t mind sacrificing Tony to promote favored actors and favored agendas.

I feel the same when it comes to Zoe Keats. Something happens to where Tony ends up upset with Senior and I’m sure it will involve Zoe. I read another article where Glasberg had said that Zoe wasn’t the one that Tony was going to marry and she wasn’t the one for him but I too, have to believe that this isn’t going to last. Doesn’t mean this is her last episode. They could stretch this out through next season but I sure hope this will be goodbye for Tony’s clone of a girlfriend.
