    Ziva adds electricity to the show.. Gibbs is great and so is McGee but the others suck...They need her back...

      I hope we get to see her and Tony reunite!

    I'm so late to this party but I have to weigh in here. I just got caught up on most of the Ziva return. I'm two episodes deep into the most recent season, and this storyline is terrible. The writing is terrible; NCIS has never been extremely sharp with dialogue, but usually acting charm overshadows it. But each line out of each actor's mouth sounds as if the writers went with the most obvious, cliché, line. And while I understand the Ziva character is going to be different than when she left, the one thing Ziva should never be is overly whiny (about being discovered, about Gibbs coming to look for her--make up your mind, by the way, Ziva). The one thing she should ALWAYS be is totally kickass, and she doesn't seem anywhere near it through two episodes. And while I never thought Cote de Pablo was a particularly great actress, she's been delivering her lines this year as if it's her first time acting in an acting class. She also has zero chemistry with any of the new actors that weren't with her the first time. No wonder a couple of the pilots she was in were never picked up. Regardless, I just had to get this all out. Sorry I used a response to you to do it. But the majority of the NCIS fans are just so happy to have her back, they appear oblivious to how bad these scripts, stories, and worse--acting, is.

    After Coté de Pablo left the show, I lost interest in it. Besides, Mark Harmon is one lousy actor.

    ziva and tony need to come back, they make the show great, and maria bello [ jack sloan ] needs to go, she is the shit in this show, she don't belong there

    Why is Bishop still on the show ? Pursing one's lips, blinking and tossing your hair around does NOT make an actress ! She is written as young and naive. And also very mouthy and disobedient to Gibbs - something none of the other agents would have ever dreamed of doing ! I find it very easy to mute the program when she is the featured character!

      Amen to this. She is THE REASON why I stop watching the show after never missing any episode for 10 seasons.

    ziva and tony are great by the show, they need to come back, and hopefully maria bello [ worst actrice for this show] leave and go live with her long lost daughter

    Please tell me Ziva is the one who finally - and forever - dies. Unless they can bring her back in an organic way and ditch the "choose me...love me...look for me" whiny Ziva, the character needs to stay away. They're having enough trouble figuring out what to do with the current cast members without reintroducing and reinventing a former one. (who chose to leave, I might add...)

      Hater. Unless you have a huge desire to find out what 'social media riots' are like!

      The side of the NCIS fandom I'm on, They're beyond excited for this! they're also hoping Tony comes back as well! so, PBBBBTTTT!!!

        You're welcome and entirely entitled to your opinion, but so is everyone else. You're free to disagree, but calling people names is just.... childish. Please don't call people a "hater" or a "creep." Speaking that way about others says more about you than it does about them. (And for the record, I think mainly 14-year-olds use the word hater.)

      Yeah, I wish the show would just move on already. She's gone, she should stay gone. Or if they do bring the character back, have it be full-time. None of this "special appearances" thing.
