for those who like Southland and L&O:SVU, here's a new NYT article about the debacle that is NBC and how their programming decisions are having rippling effects:

Huh. I wonder why episodes 2 and 3 of the season were up on demand but the premiere wasn't?

Why did Sasha Alexander (Kate) decide to leave NCIS? Or was she asked to leave?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Connie, I had read that she asked to be let out of her contract because she found the filming schedule to be too much for her.

Oh, OK. I kind of miss her, though her goody-two-shoesness was annoying. It was nice not having to explain everything, like they do with Ziva. It would have been fun to see what McGee did with her in his book. I wonder if McGee will ever publish his second book.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I thought I'd miss Kate until about the third episode with Ziva, and then I decided I liked Ziva better. (Sorry, Kate.) I'm with Connie Neil; Kate was fun at first, but her goody-two-shoes holier-than-thou routine became annoying real fast.

I liked Kate, and I still miss her on the show. I thought her and Tony would eventually get together.

Fraternization is why she lost her job on the Secret Service. Surely she wouldn't do that again. Besides, Gibbs said he'd fire her if she did.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kate was too prissy for me. She also never met a protection detail she couldn't botch. I don't think the writers ever let her get one right, except for the bullet she blocked for Gibbs, and then she took one to the noggin right afterwards.
Beforehand I would have said that Gibbs wouldn't fire Ziva for fraternisation because he wouldn't fire her for anything because she was his ever-so-favourite, but he's been right pissy to her this season (my least favourite part of the writing so far), and it's not quite like he's hired her yet. Is she working for free?
