Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When I read about it they said it would be new characters.

What, who, where? Did someone post a link I missed?

There wasn't one here, I don't think. I think I read about it on WX.

I googled just now and found this info which makes me laugh:

CBS declined to comment but multiple sources confirm that Chris O'Donnell and LL Cool J are in final talks to headline the Eye net's forthcoming NCIS spin-off

Also Louise Lombard.

I saw a link on CNN about "shocker" on NCIS, and it led to dire hints about Tony and Ziva, and mentioned a spinoff, which I'd heard vague rumors of and came here to enquire of those hipper to entertainment news than I.

Wasn't LL in Toys? If that was him, I was pleased. Points to whomever gets the reference: "That's a hard pattern to match."

NCIS was a "spinoff" of JAG, which meant they had one or two backdoor pilots that aired on JAG.

I never watched JAG. Was it as good as NCIS, ie, funny, the characters like each other as friends as opposed to potential bed mates, etc.?

I really liked JAG. It's basically a courtroom drama in uniform. It's Bellasario, so it's relatively true to military life and jargon. And it had it's share of funny writing, comic relief. I felt they focused a little too much on the semi-romantic relationship between the two main protagonists towards then end and it nearly ruined the last season in my mind. Still, I watched pretty faithfully, until I discovered Buffy and it couldn't compete with my new love for that TV time slot.

I still miss the Tony-Kate interaction, which was more siblings than potential lovers.
