Yeah, ITA. I found out what had happened before I saw the ep but figured it couldn't possibly be all that bad. It was. The girl and Tony's interactions with her were adorable, but also contradict everything we've ever been told about how Tony's around kids. I mean, there are several farewell articles on the NCIS site CBS has that mention 'Tony's worst fear' as being kids.

As for the rest of it, a lot of his goodbye was rushed. His plot was eclipsed (once again) by Ziva's, something I hated years before she left, so I definitely didn't want it for his final episode. I wonder if maybe MW left on bad terms or something, because it's a weird send-off for such a major character.

This also made the decision to stop watching the show easier. I was still undecided before the finale, but now...I'm going to try to keep informed as to what's going on, because I do still care, but not enough to actually watch it anymore.

Agreed with pretty much all of this. MW did do a solid job with the little girl (definitely shows his talent), but between the surprise baby and the ridiculously convoluted case, I felt like it wasn't really an episode about saying good-bye to Tony. Also, as a huge fan of the Tony and McGee brotherly-love chemistry, I'm super pissed that they didn't have a bigger moment together. These guys have been working off each other like mad for 13 years (since before McGee/SM was a regular) and all we get is a quick hug goodbye? I don't think so. Of course, considering we didn't get to see McGee show much emotion over Ziva leaving I can't say I'm surprised.

I will probably keep watching just because McGee is my favorite character (so, as long as he's there, I can't quit him) but damn I hope they stop defaulting to the terrorist plotline for every other episode. I miss the early seasons when the crimes weren't all terrorism and huge, complicated devious plots. I mean, those are fine once in a while, but they don't need to be the entire season.
