Kate/Gibbs

NCISmelanie Kate/Gibbs video
Reason number one I ship these characters: The staring. There have been hundreds of intense looks between Gibbs and Kate. That's what DPB did with Harm and Mac for years - lots of stares.The ones who see Gibbs and Kate like a couple are the ones who realize attraction doesn't ask to see your ID. I just remember the chemistry I saw in 'Yankee White' and I loved it! Yes, he is older than Kate,but for some reason that doesn't bug me at all.I don't have problem with older man/younger woman love reletionship.Kate definitely doesn't see Gibbs like her father.Remember 1.23: Reveille ?"BASSAM. Who's Gibbs? Who is Gibbs?KATE. My boyfriend."Not to mention the Yankee White-because of the tention between Gibbs and Kate DPB added the the redhead,who pick up Gibbs form time to time , and the all""Emergency blow" thing,where Kate falls into Gibbs arms.:)Personally, I can't imagine working for or with Gibbs and not having a huge crush on him, so it would be natural if Kate would.Based on their interaction in "Yankee White", I don't think Gibbs feelings toward Kate were anything close to fatherly. After all, she's definitely a strong-willed woman,something I imagine all his women have been.I think Kate and Gibbs saw something in each other when they first met on Air Force One.After he hired her, her admiration for him grew. It's clear she tried to impress him with her investigative skills .I can easily believe that Kate feels an attraction to Gibbs (like who wouldn't?) He may feel something, too, but I think he'd be better at hiding - or ignoring - it. She would try to hide it, but find herself staring, or sketching, or something. how Gibbs would handle Kate's attraction - I think probably the same way Grissom in CSI handle's Sara's fancy for him - trying to pretend its not there, and that he doesnt feel the same due to some silly belief that the work is more important. Before Kate died, I saw a lot of subtext with her and Gibbs. I could see a women like Kate catching Gibbs and keeping him. And Kate can learn from him through not only the job, but life.They make each other 'whole' in some way.In S1 and especially 1.01 "YW" when she wasn’t his agent, Gibbs was definitely flirting.There was something between them since they first met on Air Force One, a spark that even DPB tried to diffuse (using the mysterious redhead-DPB ,after 1.01"YW" ,said,that he loved the tension between Gibbs and Kate ,but he didn't want Unresolved Sexual Tension on this show, that's why he tried to diffuse the spark between them- he added the mysterious red head to prevent the tension between Kate and Gibbs).Kate is perfect for Gibbs because she breaks the mold. I think that she's fascinated by him and I think that he's equally fascinated by her.Who else could call Gibbs a 'gloomy gus' and get away with it? Who could spill his coffee/"Sub Rosa"/ and still get what she wants?This ship had the potential to be perfect, but it didn't happen. I think neither of them wanted to give into their hearts.Both Kate and Gibbs were understandably wary of coworker relationships Gibbs had his problems with Jen/his partner and ex-lover/; Kate had her thing with Major Kerry/her college and lover/. Neither was about to make a move, especially within only two years of knowing one another. Gibbs' true feelings about Kate are known only to him and Kate's caricature of Gibbs remains a mystery. Kate respected Gibbs more than she did Tony, though, and possibly he respected her more than Tony did.I think that Gibbs and Kate's scenes and interaction are much more subtle in comparision in S1 than any of the couples on the show and that only prove that they had feelings-you know the proverb about the deep water and how unpredictale it can be.:)
I think that Gibbs after three divorces would know when to compromise and his personality is more similar to Kate's thananyone of the team and Gibbs and Kate are more serious although they both have a softer side.I noticed during the first season and it has continued into the second season that despite the fact Gibbs has come across as a bit more stern and harsh with Kate opposed to the other characters that he probably doesn't act this way for no reason. I've also noticed that both Sasha and Mark have been asked in different interviews about a possible Gibbs/Kate romance.
I beleve that Gibbs liked Kate a lot"-remember his amused tolerance of her faults and ingorance of all things naval,that feeling that no matter what,he was always make shure she was OK , that sence that he is torn between professional respect and a chivalrous,old fashioned need to take care of her as well as the occasional urge to throttle her.Maybe he had feelings for her,but can't/won't recognize them because she is so different from his usual kind of woman.Without Kate in the picture,i fear we will never again see that side of Gibbs that her character brought out.

Sorgiña: Now we'll never know of course, but it might have been interesting to see what might have happened had Jen turned up when Kate was still alive or even Mann. Reckon there could have been some very interesting moments there. But now it's too late for that, who knows there might have been some real catfights here.

NCISislove: "...there might have been some real catfights here."
If that happence,I want to be there-this is not something I would miss.Like Tony said once in a similar case "I want to look away,but I can't":)

Ncis_Fanatic: I don't think it could really happen....It's just something that would make more sense between Tony and Kate and that I would support but like Sorgiña said we'll never know!

NCISislove:Ncis_Fanatic,my observations of life shows that ,like dani_g said, the quiet waters are deeper than we expect.:)Tony and Kate talk too much so I don't think something was ment to happen-too much talking,no action, although the writers like playing with this aspect of the show.




Tony & Ziva:
Ncis_fanatic: I think Tony and Ziva should be together because they work well together and they have a lot of chemistry! They should hook up in either season 5 or season 6!

Dunnozzo: I love Tony and Ziva, and what looks to be the obvious chemistry spawning between them - well, at least Ziva's feelings for Tony. I think Ziva and Tony's unresolved sexual tension has become so much a part of the show, however, that only at the very end of NCIS (although I'd hate to see it finish) would they get together. I'm thinking that the only other possibility - Ziva/Tony dying, or Ziva being recalled to Israel would be met with a far greater fan outcry - and the death of such a great pairing would most likely kill off a lot of the show. Here's to Tony and Ziva - eventually.

Sorgiña: I don't quite see it, it's also so terribly obvious and predictable, which takes all the fun out of it.

NCISislove: "I don't quite see it, it's also so terribly obvious and predictable, which takes all the fun out of it."

I don't want to repeat myself-read my first reply on Tone/Kate thread on Romances page.:)


Abby & McGee:
Farmergeorge: at the start they seemed like a really great couple. in fact, they still do. but i think they have reached the stage of a comfortable friendship after what seemed a brief romance. of course, they are such great characters together so thank goodness for the world of fanfiction!! where, even if the writers think their relationship is no longer likely to be a coupling, we can all still read and write about how wonderful they'd be...and be able to see more about their relationship than we ever did in the show :D

Spprtourtroops09: I really would love to see Abby and McGee... especially after the episode with McGee's book where the computer geek and the forensic analyst(?) have a "thing". He obviously has feelings for her!

Sorgiña: I think this is the one romance where everyone seems to agree, in that they make such a sweet couple, the kind that makes you want to believe in romance, and sugar and spice and all things nice kind of feeling.


Gibbs & Jenny:
x0julianna02: I love Jenny and Gibbs. I have loved them since teh very begining and when jenny first came on teh show i knew that they had history adn will be together in teh end. I love them & i love how the writers put so much sexual adn romanical tension between them.. I think they are still in love but both are too stubborned to admit it. It was the exact way in JAG. NCIS is different from JAG but still similar. I love both shows but NCIS is more interesting and deep. It keeps you wanting more at the end of each episode. Also, I really think people love to hate Jenny, but i think adn hope shes here to stay. She cant leave becasue she is a main influence with Gibbs and the rest of his team. She causes alot of tension adn it is great! Hopefully there will much time for her to evolve and for audiences to see her as Jenny not just as Gibbs ex or 'the Director'.I am a pure Jibbs fan. however, i do like Hollis Mann and Gibbs together becasue she doesnt put up wiht hhis crap either.. it is great. but theres some chemistry but not as much as jenny adn Gibbs have. jenny knows all about his past because they were partners. SHe is always explaining why Gibbs is the way her is and such and she understands him. The whole Le Frog thing is beginning to add depth to Jennys charcter, she been hurt somewhere in her life similar to Gibbs, its the attributes they have in common making them connected and a sence of understanding but also makes them emotinally withdrawn from each other and sometimes unable to communicate! I would like to see an episode where Jenny and Gibbs are in the field, maybe like the Boxed In episode, so the fact that she is the boss isn't such a barrier, allowing us to see how they used to work together as partners and maybe lead us into what they are made of as a potential couple.... They would have really cute kids and they would make great parents. I just love when they give episodes with little kids becasue Gibbs and Jenny can connects to them and get them to trust them when no one else can. It is amazing

NCIS4LIFE5: I really think that Jibbs will be togather by the end of season 5!!

Ncis_Fanatic: I think that they have great chemistry and they know a lot about each other and know each other in more ways that other people don't so I don't know why it shouldn't work out.

Sorgiña: the only thing is... you know, like 2nd time around wasn't so hot, possibility it could finish worse than the 1st time round, and of course you can't put the clock back. Just a thought.

May96: It will have been 9 years since Gibbs and Jenny have been together by the end of season 5, that time has changed them individually. Yes it didn't work before but they are different now, plus they also have the experience of the first time to learn from.

Sorgiña: This huge time lapse is also negative about them getting together again. I think they'd like it to work but ....

May96: I'm just gonna have a mini ramble repeating what i've said before so they are all collected together! lol

Gibbs has never done a boat with Jennys name on (that we know of), and its my opinion he never has, when he build boats and burns them? or however he rids them it is usually when he is trying to let go.. i dont think he is quite ready to let go of hope on Jen yet...

There is alot of mistrust of other people in Jenny and Gibbs nature..... it is known that towards the end of Season 4 that Jen is very secretive, which she puts down to Gibbs teaching her his rules, she does not tell anyone anything if she doesn't have too hence her not talking about 'family' (mentioned in 'Bury your dead', i think) in all the time Gibbs and Jen were a couple, he actually knows nothing of her life before him and vice versa... they both have huge trust issues, highlighted from Jennys side by... Gibbs: "Do you doubt me Jen?" Jen: "professionally..... never", and from Gibbs side the time he got arrested in Paris and she carried on walking down the street... its why they hit a stand still in their relationship before and the only way to get to the next level in their relationship would be to trust eachother fully, which would mean both of them divulging their past (Shannon, Kelly, LeG, Jasper Shepard... and all that jazz) neither of them could do it at the time and so Jenny went to her second best option imersing herself in work...


i think since the end of season 3 we have been getting a breakdown of their pasts and they are slowly being revealed to each other... Jen now knows about Gibbs family and Gibbs knows about LeG... but if they are ever going to get anywhere they are going to have to open up to eachother...

Aswell when Jen later finds out about his family she snipes that he kept it from her all the while they were together, he asks would it have made a difference, Jen says she doesnt know because she was never given the chance ... it seems to me that Jen may have wanted more stability with Jethro rather than just sex while under cover, if she new of his family it would have gave her the indictation that what he wanted or atleast he did once want/had stability of wife, kids, family...because to her he was a twice divorcee who never left work or his boat.. i think she didn't see much options and he was/is never forth right with how he feels... any how i think she is now beginning to regret her decision of walking away and her lack of faith in him personally and thats what we are seeing now. Jen alot more vunerable than she appears ... and as for Gibbs non interrest (which he does seem to have more of when she is first introduced) is that he wants her to fight for him, because after all she did dump him (not nice) ...


Then theres just odd bits that make me a Jibbs believer like something that always struck me was in Hiatus when Jen goes to see Gibbs and she asks if the onlything he remembers about her is 'making love'... it seemed a very intimate way to put it, especially since Gibbs had memory loss and was particulary vunerable it was like she was TELLING him that it was 'making love' . They just have a spark that will always keep them interesting!

Sorgiña: Somehow don't think it's going to be that obvious or that straightforward, the idea is nice but don't see it quite coming to fruition or so my 6th sense says (don't have a gut....)

May96: It will never be straightforward, it would be out of character..

Sorgiña: Just got this 'je ne se quois' feeling that all they the characters and us would like it to happen, it's just not going to go that way. Maybe they'll just be 'friends with privileges' so to speak, which is better than nothing after all

May96: I think for the time being i would happily settle to see Gibbs and Jenny as 'friends with privileges' at least then we could see some contact between them, the spark they have when they are flirting! But 'friends with privileges' would not last forever and would be good to see if they would want to fight for a relationship or just stop when it came down to the crunch!

Tony & Kate
Kitz1991: Well, where do I start?? Firstly I'm a huge Tate shipper my opinions on some situations are quite strong!
In my opinion Tate evolved over time...they obviously had a great friendship which some people see as a more brother/sister relationship but there was always underlying "sexually charged tension" between them, as they constantly bickered over petty things and through each other suggestive looks, often engaging in flirtatious comments with each other. Tate will always live on!!
mwsatdkt: I agree with Katie. Their relationship defiently started as just friends, but over the 2 season, you can see how much they mean to each other. They are both so simillar to one another, yet neither would ever admit it. They liked teasing the other to get a reaction out of them, and their constant 'fights', caused by underlying sexual tension kept us entertained, but when it got to the serious stuff, they were there for each other, shown clearly in SWAK.
Plus, the way Tony was "remembering" Kate in Kill Ari 1 proves that his feelings went deepers than what were on the surface.
Kitz1991: Oh definately Ash, the phone sex!! (which then led up to Tiva...but nevermind). Also episodes such as Terminal leave where you have the shower scene- Kate is obviously peeved that Tony's in there but not the way she would be at say McGee if he was in ther, really cute stuff! Black Water also shows Tony's more forward fellings, as he puts his hands between Kate's legs! And then of course there's an eye for an eye...with Tonys proposition to Kate about how to keep warm in the car (on a stake out)..eskimos style!! Here are just a few videos to emphasize..Tate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WX-mrK1IwZg and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywjWSpjtXyY

Sorgiña: There was a lot going for this relationship despite the constant bickering, I reckon they were a better match than Tony with Ziva.

NCISislove:"...the phone sex!! (which then led up to Tiva...but nevermind)."
"...they were a better match than Tony with Ziva."

For me the idea that Tony/Kate relationship continue like Tony/Ziva relationship is quite wrong-I've noticed that when Kate was around, Tony was able to get away with bullying her a bit because she was always disturbed by his perversions. With Ziva, he's actually been thrown off his game and rather than flaunting his own vices, he seems much more interested in finding out all of hers.While Tony and Kate's relationship was one in which Tony would say things and Kate would get all shocked and baffled, Ziva is often the one to shock Tony.Her comments back to him seem to be more biting than Kate's ever were-she not only accepts his comments but she throws in comments that leave him speechless or shocked.That kind of relationship is far more equal for me.
Kitz1991: Hmm, I see what you mean...but Kate wasn't the kind of girl to do that kind of thing. I mean the Catholic side to her stopped a lot of innuendo being thrown around. Maybe Tony is so shocked by Ziva's "come backs" because he never really had that sort of thing with his partner before...yet maybe it's cos Zivas flirtations are more obvious.

NCISislove:Just because she's Catholic doesn't mean she has to be close-minded or not independent,but you bring interesting topic-the change in Kate's character.Somehow in YW she seems more open like a person.In S1 she can accept that Tony have so many relationship,and she only mocked him for that(I love how Sasha says the line in "Reveille" where she's naming all those girls, and then "the girls down on the farm"), Then in S2 she is really annoyed sometimes with that part of Tony's character -like in "Bikini Wax" ,when Tony admited that he took the tape at home:"K:What is wrong with you?!It's like you have some sort of a sickness. T:I had a hunch there might be something on it. K:Yeah, like ten half-naked women."That never fit for me-to accept the character difference is typical for the grown people - I can't understand how in S1 she can accept that part of Tony's character,and in the 2nd half of S2 she can't do that.

Kitz1991: I take this change in her as jelousy! In YW I agree, she does seem un-Kate but the circumstances were different then and she'd been having this affair with a fellow collegue and perhaps this made her more careful during the first season...because I definately feel that in season 2 there is a lot more sexual tension between them, they playfully bicker a lot more. :)

mwsatdkt: I don't know about you guys, but after 1 year with a guy who goes on and on about all these women, I would start getting really annoyed with him too :) And I think that Kate does leave him shocked. Remember when she was dating his frat brother, and at the end she goes "some things are more sacred" and walks off leaving Tony there shocked.

NCISislove:Kitz1991,for me this have nothing to do with jelousy-and I'llexplane myself.In S1& first half of S2 she was a grown woman and then she become/actually the writters made her character-and for me that' explane her behaviour/ more childish-that's not possible for the human development -after you grow up enough,you can't act like a child again. Even the Bible say that: "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."
-1 Corinthians, 13:11

Sorgiña: Sometimes people are prudish because they've been taught certain things are taboo even though they'd really like to cross that line, and who knows if she hadn't tied, she might eventually flipped for Tony, even if it meant cursing herself night and day ;-))

NCISislove:My point is that she is mature than Tony-if she was jealous,then she had to act more mature.To act that way is s not typical for Kate from S1 and first half of S2-she teased Tony,but in more mature way,no like at the end of the season,,where she went into an adolescent pathetic rivalry with him-and that's only because the writters change her character and made her to act like a schoolgirl.Mwsatdkt,yes,she shocked Tony-only one or 2 times -if I count the points in their game,I would say that Tony is far away ahead of Kate.:) Sorgiña,I understand what you have in mind,but I'm not talking about these people,because Kate is not like them.I'm talking about the fact that life make people grow and when they grow enough,they find the childish things too unatractive and no so interesting-to play with dolls makes the little girl happy-but for the young woman this will be boring not because "she've been taught certain things",but because she is grown enough and she don't find the previous pleasure in that-this is in force for every man,woman ,situation or relationship. :)That's why I used that quotation from a Bible-not becase I'm a religious person-these words express my feelings better than all of my words.:)

Kitz1991: I think if you love someone you love them for who they are...even if they are less mature than yourself. You aren't compatible through your matureness (ha if that's a word) but through your personality, and in that way I think Tony and Kate are a great couple.
NCISislove: Yes,but the maturity is part of thepersonality-we are the people who we are because we have that life expiriance which we have.I never said that Kate don't love Tony,but he is 30 years old and behave like a boy-I'm sure Kate has expirianceexperience with that kind of the man population.Tonypopulation and because of that that kind of relationship is known for her-Tony can't be that intriguing for Kate both like a woman and profiler-she needs a man,not a boy,in her life.I ,personally ,love Tony more in S4&5,where is all grown up,but still has this childish thing in him.:)Kate and Tony just don't seem serious with each other and i have a hard time imagining them getting serious,which is necessary for one relationship .What drew their shippers to them,is their playful banter -THAT will change ,if they become serious.

Ziva & McGee:
Farmergeorge: okay...so for a while...i really loved the idea of tony and ziva hooking up: they have such awsome banter and such great chemistry together. But recently i have been converted to loving the idea of Ziva & McGee as a pairing...i dont know what it is but i think they would make a good couple. I still think the idea of Tony and Ziva is good, but i just prefer McGee for her right now :D :D

Sorgiña: Poor Probie!! Ziva would have as a midmorning snack leaving him unable to do anything but stutter all the time, mind you it could be amusing

Kitz1991: Haha definately, but during the first part of season 3 there are a few hints to McGee & Ziva as a couple... in one episode McGee says something like: "Do you think she likes me?" and like is not meant in the friendly sort of term! Yet saying that I really don't see them as a good match for eachother...just good friends.

Sorgiña: don't think Probie could survive Ziva, although it might smarten him up a bit


Gibbs & Mann:
Sorgiña: Never saw any chemistry between them - probably just sexual release, she was too desperate to have a 'permanent' manfriend, and when she insinuated she's was looking for a long-term deal, poor Gibbs nearly choked to death.
