I know this is a beating a dead horse, but this is still correct.

Why couldn’t have they gotten together before Will made his first appearance in “Jones”? If that were the case, maybe none of us would be against Reid and JJ being together.

Also, I heard Josh Stewart isn’t coming back to the reboot for the next season. I really hope that won’t be the reason why Spencer Reid might come back to Criminal Minds: Evolution. He went through enough in the original series.

Heteronormativity really ruins certain shows. That’s why I’ve been avoiding Law and Order: Special Victims Unit and Law and Order: Organized Crime because I know that Olivia and Elliot are probably together now. What was the point of Stabler being married in the beginning of his debut appearance if the writers knew that he never loved Kathy, or fell out of love with Kathy as soon as Elliot met Olivia?

Also, again, I haven’t seen NCIS in a long time, but I find it so disrespectful to Jimmy Palmer’s character for him to jump into a relationship after his wife passed away from COVID. That just doesn’t seem right, especially since Breena was Jimmy’s soulmate, like how Maeve was Reid’s soulmate.

This is just a bunch of rambling, but I wanted to talk about this again.

Jimmy, on the phone to Breena: We're playing Scrabble. It's a nightmare. Breena: Scrabble? Scrabble's great! Jimmy: Not when you're playing against Doctor Mallard, it's not. He puts down words like “ephemeral,” and I put down "dog."

Little NCIS Thing #1969

“If I chopped the feet off of every guy that gave Breena two looks, I would be up to my ears in toe cheese.”

Thinking about quite possibly the most egregious things the NCIS writers ever did again. Nope, wait, I just added another one. Mentally, this started with just killing off Emily Fornell, but then I added killing off Breena Palmer too. Oh, and whatever the heck Bishop's ending was. I could go on.

The killing off of women for incomprehensible reasons unless it's only to further Man-Pain? Ridiculous. I don't even know where to start with Bishop's send-off, but at least she's not dead. You'd honestly think there's not a single person in the writers room that likes the show, or cares about the characters. I'm convinced not one of them is left that knows the plot of the show more than a couple seasons before they started writing for it.

And I definitely don't only blame the writers. I'm sure a good chunk of the issues are CBS' fault, problems which were highlighted during the strikes. But still.

I love this show. There's still good stuff about it today, don't get me wrong. I just randomly remembered some of these baffling plot choices that were mentioned in like one or two episodes and then never again, despite how heartwrenching and tragic they are.

I honestly believe Victoria Palmer had a horse-girl phase and Jimmy and Breena had to talk Ducky out of buying the kid a pony and getting her equestrian lessons….

Ducky is definitely A “what the grandduckling wants she gets” grandparent

I'm sorry wut

Here’s a question, why do the writers of ncis and the cbs team write the absolute WORST endings for every single female character in the show. The men leave and get beautiful goodbye stories and yet the women either get killed (brutally or for no reason and zero explanation) Or get written off as a traitor, as someone who lied and kept secrets, who manipulated everyone, essentially undoing everything the character went through thus making it null and void. I feel like there should be a larger conversation here. This hasn’t just happened once or twice, it’s literally happened with EVERY female lead on the show. The worst endings every time with zero payoff for anything. The men though? They’re fine, they never leave or when they do they get a season long story about it and a goodbye where it leaves the door open for them to come back with no consequences.

I said it once and I’ll say it again. STOP KILLING WOMEN TO MAKE MEN MORE INTERESTING!
