Starting to get that feeling.....

[dragonheart]

You know that feeling that you get in the pit of your stomach when you're on a roller coaster and you're clanking slowly up that first big hill?

You are excited yet nervous and dreading all at the same time.  You know that what's coming next is going to be whoa - but is it a good whoa or a WTF have I gotten myself into whoa?

Well that's what I am feeling right now in anticipation of tomorrow nights season finale.

Last week and the previews for tomorrow night have built up a really good Tiva vibe and I have ridden the wave all week - now I am starting to come down off my high and my gut is feeling anxious that TPTB are gonna pop my bubble in a big way.

Arrrgh, darn my brain - I wish I could turn it off.

So not a Tiva girl but I feel your nervousness. Logical part of me says Cote's signed a contract Ziva's going no where, but the promo makes me wonder what's gonna happen. TPTB really need to give the girl a break, blown up in Morocco, tortured in Somalia and now this, no wonder Ziva is begining to think she can't do it any more

I know the poor girl needs a vacation.

There looks to be a few good Ziva/Gibbs scenes tomorrow (or at least implied)

when I saw this picture from Jesse Stern's photo blog I thought of you - look at the concetration on CdP's face and the grin on MH's face - so cute...

I might be feeling the tickling from a plot bunny - Ziva? Gibbs? games? hmmmm.

They are so cute together! I love pictures of Mark and Cote, they always look like such good friends, did you see the TV Guide shoot where he pushed her face in the cake? I'd love to just hang out on set for a couple of days and watch them.

I know the poor girl needs a vacation.

Uh-uh. Look what happened the last time she went on vacation - Ray Cruz. :P

[dragonheart]

yikes! You are right - no vacation - a good massage and a bottle of wine instead -

[proseac]

NOW you're talkin'!!! XD

I know that want I want to happen is too much to ask for, but I just can't help being hopeful. Also, I just want one season here lately where Ziva is safe.

[dragonheart]

I agree - Give the poor girl a break (and me - it wears me out worrying about her)

Let her be the one kicking butt and taking names - like she did in season 3 -

I fully expect the worst. The last two seasons, I've much preferred the episode immediately prior to the season finale to the actual finale, and I expect this will be a repeat of that (which isn't good, given my lack of excitement over last week's episode.) Knowing how much I've disliked the writing for Tony in the last three seasons (I think the last time I really really liked him was season 6's "Agent Afloat"), I'm trying to brace myself for further annoyance at his characterization.

The thing about Ziva ... I dunno. Frankly, after her elevator breakdown (which still felt OOC to me no matter how someone spins it), I now expect her to leave NCIS at the end of the season, whether that's because Ray purchases some agricultural real estate, or because she has some sort of Somalia relapse, or Ray survives and proposes (which, with the current showrunners, honestly isn't out of the question.)

So I guess I'm in the WTF mode. Dread, not anticipation.

Rah.

Ray? argggh, I forgot about Ray....

I compared it to that feeling you get the night before the first day of school, or before a trip. That pins and needles of excitement and that underlying feeling of dread.

I feel like I need to apologize in advance to my boss ... I will accomplish nothing tomorrow.

[dragonheart]

Oh that's a good analogy I like it.
I too will be a total waste of work space tomorrow.
pins and needles

It's like knowing the plane you're on probably won't crash, but you cant get rid of that nagging feeling that it might.

Nerves hit me about an hour ago...and I don't think they'll end until the episode is over and I'm a quivering ball of tears on the floor.

I knew wed would be even worse so I took wed off work for a mental health day - a day to be spent pampering myself if only by sleeping late and biking if it's nice (rain is in the forecast). maybe the finale will spark a plot bunny, I haven't written anything except drabbles and a couple of pic prompts for ncis verse for a couple of months.

I also knew I wouldn't be able to sleep Tuesday night - either out of happiness or anger, so the timing couldn't be better.

[whiteink]

I have a bottle of wine ready for after the finale. Either to celebrate or drink away the tears ... lol.

I'm off all next week (plus the Memorial Day Monday off the following week) will give me a total of 10 days off. Yay! 10 days of mental health!

I'll just have to push through Wed. Let's hope I'm not up till the early am again writing Tuesday night ...

[dragonheart]

Ten days - what I wouldn't give for ten straight days of mental health. Color me green, very green.

A bottle of wine? A grand idea. I think I may join you in that.

Can I borrow ur muse for a day or two? I am really hoping for something to happen soon ( crosses fingers).

[whiteink]

I'm so excited. I've never taken this much time. (Which may explain why I have to much time available to take ... I still have zillions of paid time off after taking a whole week ...)

I think I broke my muse working on my NCIS-big-bang story.

[proseac]

You are too funny!

I too am a waste of space today, but I'm down to part-time hours now, so I have to get something done before I go home today.

Golf is cancelled tonight due to the weather (it's ridiculously cold, even for Canada, not to mention the rain...) so I'll be parked in front of that TV set with my gin & tonic in my hand! (Never mind the wine, I'm going straight for the hard stuff!)

I'm home tomorrow too, but theoretically working on a contract basis for a client. I'll probably be a basket case. Oh well.
