At least she did tell Talia about Tony being her father but I would have preferred that Ziva didn't die. I was ok with the show as a whole though. It's tough to write out a character who has been there since the beginning.

I do like the two new agents.

This was a much better episode than the Castle series finale.

I never expected that ending but I wish Tony and Ziva could have reconnected first before the end. Would have been sad but at least made a better story..in my opinion. Love the cast!! I was hoping he would get over there to save her! :)

I have always loved the casting decision to bring in Robert Wagner as Tony's father. There is a definite family look that the two share and a certain personality trait. They may bring Tony back every now and then if Michael has an interest between gigs. Is Michael Weatherly involved in a different career move, or did he just want out?

He's going to be in a new show called Bull. Said to be based on the career of Dr. Phil.

My DH still watches NCIS but I gave up after they got rid of Zeva. Got tired of how the writers kept killing/writing off the good female characters.

Although I did think the follow-up episode to Kate's death, with Sasha Alexander (who is excellent in Rizzoli & Isles) coming back to haunt Tony as a white-wigged dominatrix, was HYSTERICAL!

Weatherby was the reason I stopped watching NCIS. Couldn't stand him after a while.

The finale brought tears to my eyes. i'm sorry that Ziva died, but glad that Di Nozzo has a daughter and a whole new focus in his life. Looks like he will be a great dad.

Watched Castle finale too -- the last couple of seasons have been painful. i'm glad that it's over.

Very mixed emotions here. I forgot to watch it last night, as I have been doing for a very long time. Recent seasons have just not kept my interest...and I just thought that it was me. I love Mark Harmon and the familiar old cast and at the same time have felt that Michael Weatherly had been 'changed' or written differently; more so than other characters. He kinda lost his 'charisma' or something. And, I too, loved the way Robert Wagner was written into recurring episodes...as well as other semi-retired actors. It has been a long run and I will catch up surely when I see it somewhere without commercials. I keep asking myself lately, if watching shows on my computer has simply spoiled the idea of watching any shows that are so badly interrupted by commercials. ( BTW my medium size TV screen TV has died and I am watching (?) on a very small one these days, and ask myself if I really need a large screen TV anymore. DH watches mostly sports and news (blech) on a large screen in our family room and my MacBook is soooo portable, it follows me everywhere)

My sister brought up a good point - don't be a woman on NCIS, because chances are you're going to die. Think about it...Kate, Director Vance's wife, Jenny Shepherd, the ex-wife Diane. Bishop needs to be careful - she's pretty much in the same position as the Star Trek crew member in the red shirt who always died.

His acting was amazing last night. I was OK with the way they wrote him out but I'll miss him. I think it's the kiss of death for NCIS. I like the flashbacks of Ziva, she and Tony made those years so fun to watch.

I stopped watching half way through. I was laughing instead of caring. NCIS has had it's day. I still find NCIS / LA refreshing.

"I think it's the kiss of death for NCIS."

NCIS has already been renewed for two more years.

But it doesn't mean that the show will be good or as good as it has been, we will probably lose interest in it and stop watching altogether. But that's typical for us, we usually give up on a show in its last couple of years when we get bored.

I'm looking forward to the next season with the new characters. The Tony character was beginning to bore me.

I never watched the show in its early years because I found the writing too sophomorish. I happened onto it when Cote de Pablo had been added to the cast and found it much more watchable. I prefer the McGee character to DiNozzo. I've always enjoyed NCIS: LA except for the Deeks character. I'm sort of tired of ensemble shows always having to have one ethnic character, one female character, one dork/nerd character, etc. Sometimes, less is better.

I agree with golfergrrl and Fun2BHere. I also think the work they were doing on the show was so similar to every other. Foreign bad guys. Very dark. Different than Blue Bloods which is built around family life and learning about good judgment when working out there.

Blue Bloods is the only network show I watch. The cast is diverse and perfect as a close-knit family. The "cop" aspect is done better than most shoot 'em up police dramas. The family values embedded in each show are great. I catch the marathons on several cable stations and watch\listen for hours on end and never tire of the show.

The entire Ziva/Tony 'love' story was unbelievable. Both have had MULTIPLE partners some were "love" some were trysts..and we are to believe they kept hands off all that time, all the while each finding the other THE BIG LOVE OF THEIR LIVES? Since that season ending I have not been emotionally invested in NCIS. Now we are to believe they were "together" but the audience was left hanging...

Bottom line, the story about the kid of the LOVE OF YOUR LIFE you keep secret is LUDICROUS. That is dime novel garbage and back in the day--I would expect more of that show. I stand on the side the show "ended" with Ziva leaving and someone should put it out of its misery.

I'm sorry I didn't start watching it until a couple of years ago...so I can't inject much here...I never cared for his character until the very end...he seemed to become human at the end...love Robert Wagner playing his father and look forward to seeing him on "Bull" next winter!

We stopped watching the show a couple seasons ago, yeah I think Ziva left at the end of the last season we watched. We own the DVD sets and just watch it as it comes up in rotation. I doubt that we will buy any more of the seasons.

Oh well, I still like it and am looking forward to next season, but then I'm a "dime novel garbage" kinda gal.

I loved Murder She Wrote...HAHA!
