"However, it is a pity that shipping on series tends to be stereotyped, as in the case of Tiva or Brennan+Booth on Bones.
Two things concern me about this excessive emphasis: 1 ) scriptwriters start making plots revolve solely and exclusively about this ship, and 2) the aggressiveness of Tiva shippers - and I imagine this is not exclusive to the NCIS series but in other series too where a specific ship dominates above the rest.
I mean why can't people accept that not everyone agrees with a certain kind of ship or simply dislikes it per se - is there no democracy?!"

"Thank goodness :-)

"Point # 2 - Bingo on the aggressiveness of the Tiva shippers. It's almost like their ship is an entitlement & it playing out on screen is a right. Thru all my years in a fandom, I've never seen a ship that was quite this...not sure I can come up with a word that fits & won't enflame someone. But I think you know what I mean. Even before Tiva became the rage, there were (and still are) a variety of ships in NCIS. So why can all those in the other ships co-exist so well but not Tiva? Why can all the other ships realize & acknowledge they are based in fanon but not Tiva?"

"Everyone is aloud to have there own opinion in these things. Its like attacking someone cause they dont like the same food as you when you know perfectly well that some people might be allergic to it or just hate it (hope that makes sense). I am a Tiva shipper but in no way have i attacked others for not being one. You make your own decisions.
"

"I am a TIVA fan, but I tend to hang back and not discuss it outside of a TIVA-ship zone. Anti-TIVAs seem to get angry discussing the possibilities. There are more TIVA fans than other ships, so maybe that makes us seem aggressive. "

"I'm well aware there will be those of you out there who disagree terribly with what I've just said, however, I feel I'm as entitled as the next to express my opinion regarding this subject.

However, feel free to try and convert me into a TIVA shipper - I challenge you!"

"i think that tiva is cute and they could work out and i agree with you but when i watch ncis i dont really think all about the couples and pairing but at the end of season 6 how could u not notice tiva.lol they are my fav couple on there i also have friends that like mcabby the best and jibbs so im not that opionated. i love the show it is my fav on tv but mainly cause its funny and it can mix crime. but the only thing that is keeping me from completly going with any couple ship is that it is just tv and if they did get anyone together on there im really worried that the shows ratings would drop
so i hope u like my comment
---have a great day
and good for u for speeking ur mind
