I think it took me about a month to watch all five seasons (in my recent bout of time off) -- I have fallen for this show hard. The characters are all so lovely. I want to squish them.
I have actually been avoiding the previews and all spoilers since I accidentally stumbled across the names of Gibbs' new team -- I want to walk into the new season unencumbered. Of course, I was also ficcing at the time, so I wanted to avoid any new ideas :)
I watched all (at the time) four seasons in less than a month last summer. Then rewatched all four seasons with my roomie to get him hooked and we both watched season five as it aired. And actually I watched some of it out of order and then rewatched in order the first time and then watched with the roomie... Yeah, I like me some NCIS.
Not to mention I was fic reading after I binge watched it.
I haven't read all of your NCIS/SGA fic yet because I had this idea right when you started posting about Tony being in Atlantis. I've been waiting to see if I can write it out before I read your Ziva in Atlantis one. But first I have to figure out if I can write the SGA characters since I never have.
binge watching is the best way to go before reading fic, so all the details are fresh in your mind :)
I'd love to see Tony in Atlantis. The concept of an NCIS/SGA crossover has totally consumed my brain. I love them and will always advocate for more :) The SGA characters are like writing for the muppet show -- always push them one step beyond :D
I haven't seen the previews and I haven't read any spoilers. I just don't know quite how I'm going to handle Tony not being with Gibbs. And the look on their faces when they found out they were being reassigned. OMG ::wibble:: I so cannot wait until Sept 23!!
Yay NCIS! You'll love Ziva when you get to season 3. She's a riot. I'm really glad they kept McGee in season 2... he's a great punching bag for Tony :)
Yay team indeed. I have high hopes that they will bring everyone back and soon... after getting rid of Jenny like they did (bastards) they can't not bring back my team. At least we'll have Gibbs and Abby and Ducky right off the bat. Right?
I hate you, I nearly grabbed season 2 from work today but no, I thought, I already have six books and a season of Torchwood to get through, plus uni. Now I want NCIS.
What got me into NCIS was an SG-1/NCIS crossover called "Stardust." Since then, I have watched all 5 seasons and gotten most of my friends and family into it as well. My favorite episodes are mostly the Tony-centric ones, but I read your SGA/NCIS crossover, and I loved the idea of Ziva on Atlantis.
I can't help noticing the similarities between the NCIS and Stargate characters- Gibbs=Jack, McGee=McKay/Sam, Ziva=Teyla/Ronon/Teal'c, Tony=Sheppard, Jenny=Dr. Weir. Abby and Ducky=themselves. There's really no one like them.
I don't think that they would actually split the team up for good, but since Atlantis was cancelled I've lost my faith in TV. I can't wait until the 23rd to find out!
