Worst Fears Confirmed - Redo
Ok, I have had a couple of hours to decompress and I have shined up my Tiva colored glasses and I am going to look at this in an entirely different way, because if I continue on my present course of thought, I will be giving up on my favorite ship and my favorite show, and I am not sure I am quite ready to go there just yet. I may change my mind again after I see how S9 starts to shape up,but until then I am going to TRY to keep my despondency to a manageable level.
But back to S8 and the spoilers revealed in CdP's most recent interview.
Ok, we have known for weeks that Ray is really Ziva's boyfriend and we have also known for weeks that Tony and EJ hooked up in the showers or shortly thereafter and knowing Tony it wasn't going to stop there - especially with someone willing and available. We are still dealing with frat boy Tony here. So why was I surprised by these spoilers? I really wasn't, but suspecting something and knowing it for fact are two different things, so I did feel sort of gut punched.
We also know that neither of these characters (Ray/EJ)will be back next season and that we only have 4 more episodes of this. We know that the NCIS writers have short memories and issues with continuity, so by middle of next season, this just might be a bitter memory - perhaps much like Jeanne and Rivkin - I thought those story lines were the end of Tiva too.
I really can't believe in my wildest dreams that the writers would mess too much with the Tiva dynamic - because whether you are for it or against it - it keeps the message boards lit up week after week. I am convinced that it is one of the driving forces behind the success of the show -heck it's why I tune in every week. Would they really kill off the golden goose?
Maybe these failed affairs will be just what Tiva needs to finally bring them together - ok, hopeful thinking on my part - I don't really think we will ever see them truly together on the series as it would totally alienate the anti-Tiva crowd, just as they won't kill it off because it would totally alienate us shippers - gotta keep that delicate balance - but as long as they don't ride off into the sunset with someone else, and there is always that possibility that they could end up together - I think I can live with that - as long as there are good quality fanfics out there to supplement my fix - which is what is really keeping my love for the show alive right now. I read a good Tiva story (like a few that have been on here in the last couple of weeks) and I fall in love with T/Z all over again, and I forget all the non-sense on the show.
Just to clarify and expound on the above statement --I don't think I can go through this sort of thing (Ray/EJ) in a future season with different names and different circumstances. Let's get rid of the whole jealousy thing all together.
So as of right now, I am going to hang tough and see what happens, keeping my fingers crossed that the writers don't totally screw the pooch on this one and that the fallout isn't too much too handle.

That's always what I thought. That T/Z would be a last season or even last episode type thing. Though I would not mind if it was revealed they slept together just as JD.

And I'm fairly confident that EJ is going to die, so that gets her out of the way. Plus, anything between her and Tony is just 'two game players', it won't come to anything - especially as there's no spark there.
Now, come on, Cote, sign your contract.

I too am hoping that EJ is the victim of the PTP killer only I am afraid it will set up EJ in Tony's mind "as the one that could have been except she was tragically taken from me" and he will spend all next season in mourning for her. ugggghhh!!!

But then, if I were in charge, things would be a whole lot different to begin with... (starting with Tony's characterization, but I digress...)
And do we actually have confirmation that neither of them will be back? I know that the EJ actress has another show on her plate so its almost a given that she's gone, but I know nothing about Ray actor and whether he might come back.

Yeah. I'm sick of Ray/EJ already ... They need to go away!
I actually caught a CdP interview last week with Mario Lopez, and when Lopez asked CdP whether she thought TIVA would end up getting together she said she could see it happening. Or something to that effect. I will have to watch it and see exactly what she said. It made me giddy though!
