I don’t know why the current powers stopped giving Tony any good stories or started pushing McGee forward as Gibbs’ most trusted agent but I too suspect that there was a falling out. The diminishment of Weatherly’s character is unprecedented and blatant. No other character has been treated with such disdain and Tony was originally a really important part of the team. The current powers obviously dislike Weatherly and couldn’t be bothered to care about his fans either. It’s really sad but I’m glad Weatherly is leaving. It is quite apparent that he was to get no more centric stories or character flattery.

Here, here!!! I was beginning to think I was one of the minority, feeling like this about the scripts that DiNozzo has been involved in recently. They’ve been awful and it’s like they gave up on him 2 seasons ago. Did he have a falling out with Gibbs (Mark Harmon) because he’s certainly been frozen out when it comes to interesting or action packed scripts. Super McGee has practically taken over as senior field agent, basically telling Tony he’s rubbish, as he trots past with his nose in the air. Don’t get me started on Bishop, but at least she doesn’t call him ‘dead weight’ like the beloved Ziva did before she left. Time for Michael Weatherly to have his own show and I think enough people will be jumping ship with him, that should remind NCIS to look after those who are loyal to them! Aside from us DiNozzo fans, because we’ve long since given up!
