I don't know who she is, but I love dark/thick eyebrows so. Her's are pretty good.

[elaminator]

I gave up on this show seasons ago, but her eyebrows are great. I love dark, strong eyebrows.

[replicantangel]

I like her. She's a little flat characterization-wise, but that's nothing new. I liked Ziva too and hope she'll come back for an episode or two and rectify that truly atrocious and rushed exit her character made.

That all said, this show needs to end. I loved it for a long time, but it's gotten so stale. Not even new cast members can shake it up sufficiently. The writing has become worse and worse - they don't follow established characterizations or even seem to have read/seen what writers before them did. Tony and Tim have enough seniority that they should each have their own teams. Gibbs must be 10 years past mandatory retirement. Come on now.

[mautradutor]

Why people do not like her eyebrows? They look normal to me.

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly, I don't hate the blonde hair/black eyebrows combination. I don't think it's special or great or anything, but I don't have the hatred for it some people do.

What's wrong with her eyebrows?

[(Anonymous)]

They seem like perfectly nice brows, what are people all in a huff about?

I'm sorry you didn't like her, but it pleases me to know fandom liked Ziva. I used to watch the show and she was my very favorite character. I peeked into fandom and it seemed everyone thought she was an evil woman corrupting DiNozzo or something, so I'm happy the tides changed.

[(Anonymous)]

Have people never met many blondes or something? I continually see people on the internet complain about blondes with dark eyebrows, but...it's not exactly uncommon. Most of us have darker eyebrows. If we didn't, we'd wind up looking like Matt Smith.

-Natural blonde with naturally dark-brown eyebrows.

[(Anonymous)]

Shamelessly admitting that I think she's hot.

[(Anonymous)]

Can "drama over blondes with dark eyebrows" be added to the F!S drinking game?

[slashgirl]

I haven't seen much re: her eyebrows...but people will pick on anything trivial if they hate a character. Yeah, while I liked Ziva, I didn't like Tiva, and like you, wish they'd just killed her off, if only so that there'd be less wank. It's as bad as Criminal Minds after Prentiss left, if not worse.

I really like Emily and am glad she's on the show.

[inkdust]

I like her a lot. She doesn't have Ziva's history, but that's to be expected. I think she was a great choice. And as someone who admittedly tends to be bothered by such eyebrow combinations, I think hers look awesome.

[(Anonymous)]

Don't kill a character off just because fans are dickwards. She's like the only female character that didn't get killed off.

[(Anonymous)]

Are you me? I mean, I like Ziva a lot and I'm sorry she's gone (not sorry that the Tiva anvils are gone, though). But I love Ellie and I think the hatred only stems from people thinking Ziva/Cote was "wronged". Honestly, Ellie might be my favorite character (even above McGee and I've loved him from the beginning). I think she's interesting but still authentic, and I like that she's married so we're not going to be forced to endure awkward will they/won't they flirting that was beginning to take over every episode.

[(Anonymous)]

I HAVE FOUND MY NCIS SOULMATE!

I agree 1000% with everything you said.

I don't care about the eyebrows and I think she's okay.

[(Anonymous)]

But I wish she clicked a little more with the rest of the cast. Then again, it took a while for Jimmy to really click, for me anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

I walked into the store and headed to the shoe section. It looked to be a pretty shitty selection, but I figured I might as well give it a browse, anyway. Maybe I'd get lucky.

I meandered between the racks, dismayed by my options. Fucking ballet flats. I don't go to the office to dance; I go there to work. Whatever happened to short, sensible, round-toed heels? Chunky heels, mind. I can't abide a stiletto.

I picked up a particularly atrocious pair, turning it over in my hands and scowling. That was when I first felt it: the sensation of being watched. I turned, but could see no one.

"Huh. Must've been my imagination."

I put the shoe down and moved onto the next. It was some strappy monstrosity, encrusted with pink plastic jewels. Would an actual person wear this? My mind boggled at the possibility. I took out my phone, planning to take a picture for posterity, when I felt it again.

I whipped around. It had to be real! I couldn't have imagined it twice! I scanned the department, then crouched and jogged to the end of the rack. This was serious, now. I needed to hide my position. I thrust my head out into the aisle, glancing to and fro. Still, I saw no one. Where were all the other patrons? Had they, too, felt as if they were being watched? Had they all fled in fright? Well, I would not be frightened, oh no. I would find this mysterious watcher and let them know that I knew about them.

I rolled to the end of the next rack, then the next, then the next. When I reached the intersection of my aisle and another, I closed my eyes and took a deep, soothing breath.

"You can do this, Belinda. Just stay clam."

My head against the rack, I slowly peered around the edge, taking care to remain hidden. It was then that I saw her. She was looking all about, brow furrowed, hands twisting together. She went up on tip-toe to glance over the racks, then sank into a crouch and dodged back and forth like a lizard/human hybrid. Something about her seemed familiar, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

No matter. The time had come to make my move.

When she turned in my direction, I leaped out into the aisle, throwing my arms above my head, spreading my legs and landing in a wide, open stance.

"HA!" I shouted.

She startled, nearly falling over, and her frightened gaze met my own. Brown eyes; dark brows; straight, blond, slightly tousled hair. Her nose was strong, her jaw angular, her chin split by a small cleft. The harsh light of the store glinted off the studs that held open the holes in her ears.

Holy shit.

It all came back to me, then. The day in the parking lot. The night at the bar. The public restroom. The restaurant. The park. My first day on the job. The day I'd signed my lease. My college graduation. Camping. The Halloween party. The morning I moved into the dorms.

This woman had been following me for at least seven years.

The air rushed by me and I struck the floor with a terrible crack. The air was knocked from my lungs, and I heard and felt something crunch. The last thing I saw before I lost consciousness was her face, hovering over mine, smiling.

[dwell_ondreams]

Don't know who she is (haven't watched NCIS in ages), but I see nothing wrong with her eyebrows.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't understand why people complain about dark eyebrows either. I have hair the same colour as hers, and eyebrows the same colour as my hair, and it looks crap -- as if someone's sneakily bleached my eyebrows.

[littlestbirds]

This secret makes me want to bleach my hair just so I can annoy people with my dark eyebrows. (I have no idea who/what this is)

[(Anonymous)]

Wow, I was just going to make a secret about how I'm glad Ziva left too. I didn't need her to be killed off though. I felt bad for the actress since it didn't seem like she wanted to go but I thought the writers did a good job introducing the new character. I rolled my eyes when I heard her description when they were casting the character but she's turned out to be pretty good so far, so I'm pleased.

What I'm pleased with more is that without Ziva, Tony's characterization is no longer shackled by Tiva. I honestly didn't mind Tiva at the beginning but when it started to hijack plots and characterization, I was so over it. I've been really pleased what they've done with Tony this season (for the most part). I like that he didn't get mopey or throw himself into meaningless affairs after Ziva left. I've also been really happy with the Tony/Tim bromance. Even though Tony's still giving Tim grief, it's been toned down to a brotherly affection and Tim totally gives as good as he gets. And Tony was really supportive to Tim with the whole Delilah thing. So, that pleased me.

I also found that Ziva's actress had these occasional acting tics that annoyed me so I'm glad of the Tony and Ziva ship, she was the one to go. Overall, I think the new actress has breathed some new life into the show and brought fresh energy. I like that she can ask all the questions that Tony and Tim wouldn't because they'd know all that stuff and it would be weird. It's helpful for casual viewers and new viewers and to get new insights into the old characters.

I'm also happy that she's married so there won't be any more will they/won't they. I've just been really happy this season.

[(Anonymous)]

As someone who's naturally blonde and has black eyebrows, this secret makes me sad.

[rbhudson]

I like her, she's adorable. I found Ziva irritating and shtick-y.

[(Anonymous)]

I like the fact that she's married. Aren't most law enforcement people married or at least in committed relationships of some sort, you know, in real life?

Also, it tends to preclude canon shipping of her with any of the other characters.

Ziva was a good character, but unless they were going to pair her with Tony, I'm not sure what else they could do with her character that hadn't been done. Of course, that's true for the other characters as well. The show is on the verge of ski-jumping a shark in Lake Michigan.

[lunabee34]

I really like NCIS. I think it is fairly implausible for reasons already mentioned in this thread (like Riker, Tony should really have command of his own ship by now; Gibbs ought to be retired; etc.), but I love it so.

I loved Ziva. Hard. I loved Tony/Ziva. Hard.

But I really like Bishop, and I really like that Tony's character has drastically changed in Ziva's absence. It's about time he got some character growth, and I appreciate that they used her departure to do that.

Also, I think I would like Fornell's daughter to be in every episode. LOL
