“It was more of a trip for Ziva than for Cote,” the actress said of her character on “NCIS,” which has its fourth-season finale 7 p.m. Tuesday, Ch. 2. “It absolutely informed my insights into her soul.”
That’s pretty cool! Actress Cote de Pablo, who plays Israeli former Mossad agent Ziva David on NCIS, just got back from a tour of Israel – apparently someone in the Israeli tourism department likes the show and put it together for her. One of the commenters at Maureen Ryan’s “The Watcher” blog said simply ” <3 Ziva ” and I couldn’t agree more. I <3 her too.
Also, the season finale was a triumph – all kinds of stuff going on, and we thought we knew better when it got to 43 minutes and the A-plot hadn’t been resolved (Tony and Jean in jeopardy! Cliche of cliches! ). The B-plot (Jenny the Director returns from Paris, looking for evil nemesis The Frog) seemed about to break, but looked like nothing much would happen until next season. Nope to both, not how it turned out at all. The final few seconds were the big payoff.
It was so unexpected, and so completely turned the “false” ending on its head, that David and I started shouting and laughing, because we’d been so neatly had. Well done, all.
And now we have to wait until next fall to see what happens next. I was worried that someone we like was going to end up dead (they’re not above killing well-liked characters off, you know) that the last few seconds were just like the first hill on a thrill ride. Whoa, etc.
