Going on in the Fandom

As most of you know for the last few years I have been following actor Muse Watson on the social media sites.  Especially after he appeared as Gibbs’ Boss in the 3rd season two part season finale of NCIS.  As usual you find out he has been in a hundred films and TV series of one genre or another.  I am beginning to re-evaluate that decision. As time went I noticed how he would behave on the two sites he has been on.  I approved his campaign to remove all the false Mark Harmon accounts but then he would make comments about things and would attack others for their views.  I know I may have talked about the time he made a comment about CT Senator Chris Murphy and I defended Senator Murphy and he came up with some snotty ass remark.  I was livid.  He has no BUSINESS to make derogatory remarks about people he doesn’t know.  Most recently a few people commented to him they didn’t like the character of Mike franks and they were respect...

This Week in the NCIS fandom

it has been a busy month in the NCIS Fandom.  The TIVA/Ziva fans continued to fight for the return of Cote DePablo and took every chance they got to push for her return.  Eventually some of them began to realize it was Cote De Pablo's choice.  There were some asking for her to send a message out to the masses thanking the fans but requesting them to stop the harassment of the cast.  Some were even hoping that Mark Harmon being the “unofficial or official” leader of the show to make a statement of some sort (I admit I was one of them)    IT didn’t happen.  Well nothing from Mark Harmon but an article in a Latina Magazine with Cote and it not only confirmed but explained a little bit more (according to others) without going too deep into the personal life of CDP.  Eventually more and more articles came out on the turmoil that occurred (it was basically regurgitation of the same article that was sent to various press circles) I had joined tum...

Following the firestorm

As the news broke about Cote De Pablo's decision to not continue with NCIS the maelstrom that followed was beyond bizarre and questions the mental state of fans.  On the social networking sites fans clamoured they were no longer going to watch NCIS okay that’s fine can understand that but to lose sleep over it and blame the rest of the cast and crew?  Not cool.  To start petitions to get the actress to stay?  Why?  As I posted to one twit on Twitter-good idea force someone to be on a show they don’t want to be.  I can see the resentment for the fans building on that one (I was never one for starting petitions for shows and stuff like that).  I don’t plan on doing it for Mark Harmon when it comes time for him to move on either.  I will be sad that changes happen and I hope I don’t lose sleep over it but I will get over it. Fans are also discussing who should replace Cote for the rest of the season.  Some are hoping for just th...

Say good bye to Cote DePablo Next year

I had received two Google alerts the first one from a site I wasn’t familiar with and sent the link to the NCIS yahoo group.  Asking if it is real.  You would think they would announce this but hey what ever.  THe second one was from EW.com and  here.   Of course the reaction has been shock and mixed delight. I also posted a view point last week or two on the fandom you can find at my other blog.

CBS-NCIS Yahoo Moderators

The following is an email I sent to the moderators of the CBS NCIS Moderators when I discovered my posts in the last two days were not being posted but yet I am still a member of the group. Prior to this they were all posted. “I would like to know why my messages are not being posted?  I have been making sure I snip all the information you have asked to be snipped.  I have been more than fair in my posts and I am rather surprised at this.  IF it was to change then you need to let me know.”   This isn’t the first email to be “ignored” either.  When there is an email listed on the group page that clearly means we are allowed to contact them if we have issues of any kind.  I find this to be rather unprofessional and petty at best. Until the recent blast I made I have been in good standing.  If they have issues they are obligated to inform me.  I have repeatedly asked them to contact me so that we may resolve whatever issues there ...

This Week in NCIS Fandom A rant

I was really apprehensive about watching Tuesday’s episode of the show.  This and the subsequent episodes could make or break ncis in fans for this and next year.  I know that almost every week there will be mixed reactions to the episodes.  I remember when I wrote in August last year that I wasn’t particularly happy with the last half of season 9.   There was one email from a thread on the yahoo group that really annoyed the hell out of me.  it was responding to two previous why they watch it and this is what “Vicky” writes: I do feel it would be morally irresponsible for me to not speak up when the show chooses to employ an abusive story line as entertainment. The problematic message Ziva's ongoing treatment of Tony sends is extremely worrisome. To not speak out is to give credence to it. Love should never hurt and one strike, one hurtful word, one purposefully cruel act intended to cause harm is one too many. While I love Tony!Whump as much...
