Ok hopefully they wrap up the CIA ray story line here. Ray doesn't fit the new Ziva's long term goals roughly quoting Ziva "I want to have a home" And Ray flying all over gods green earth isn't the kind of a guy she'll have much of a home life with. And no I not a advocate Tiva romance leading to marrige. I just do not think its really I think Ray's been order to romance Ziva for NCIS intel on how close NCIS's investigation is getting to agent Stratton and the crooked Sec Nav's auction house of stolen state secrets. Hopefully Ray breaks it off now before Ziva take another dagger to the heart.

I did some analysis about next week's episode. I have a hunch that Ziva's going to turn Ray down next week. Why? From what I could recall from 9.12 with EJ and Ziva's conversation and that EJ asked about Ziva starting a family, Ziva said that she wasn't exactly ready yet. Family can hint marriage. I'm going off a limb here that there will be a 85 percentile that she will say no. -Yuki |

Cool louis ferrieria who played lt.col Everett Young on stargate universe is in this episode. AND PLEASE GOD let Ziva say NO!!!!! to Ciray. No character torture of Ziva with season long heart renching heming and hawing only for Ziva to back out at the last minute when she figures out CI ray isnt the guy to create a "home". I hope they put this story down with this episode.

thank God, Ray is gone for good! I just knew he'd do something like this and I'm glad they didn't drag it out for more episodes! I was srsly scared for a sec Ziva would say yes  Ray was def not the man for her. Glad her and Tony are back to being "friends" Now only to get rod of Wendy and all is good ;D I really loved how the Commanders husband behaved. He was crushed and you don't usually see so much emotions. Good epi  |

Yes I second the THANK GOD CI ray is gone for good out of Ziva's life as far as marriage material. Personally I would have liked it better if she gave a Ray a boot to the groin , but a punch to a hopefully broken nose will do. ;D Yes Louis Ferrieria is a great actor I've seen him guest star on other shows and he did some amazing acting in StarGate Universe so I wasn't surprised by the nice job he did in this episode. Something tells me will see ex CIA ray again down the road as a military contractor or working for another government as a killer for hire . This was a solid A- episode even thought Ziva got her heart broken atleast the producers didn't do it over the rest of the season like the did to Tony with the Frog story line. This was one of the best episode for the season so far.

I never comment about the show anymore, but really, the writers took the easiest out by making Ray a bad guy. How cheap... and insulting.

I knew that my hunch was right....I just knew it. It was a good episode, and I was freaking out during the proposal scene.
So wait, I thought that Jaleel White was gonna be in this episode? Huh, might have not noticed him.

One of the worst episodes for me. When will they start calling the show soap opera? Last week's episode was bad already with all those Tiva hints, but still bearable because EJ had such a big part - and she didn't die, wow! - , and Stratton's a bad guy with great potential... - and he didn't die either - even more wow - but this ep. Yikes. Ray was my only hope to make all those soapy hints stop, and now this... that was indeed a poor way to cave in before the tiva fans. *sigh* |

Honestly I though the whole CI ray story line was a cheap, clique and insulting to the fans in a been there done that before kind of away. Yeah maybe it was cheap easy out making Ray a incompetent bad guy but at least he's out of Ziva's life for good (and hopefully out of the series). At least the did not drag out this gasty clique romance for the rest of season 10. And again I say thank god for that. |

I agree 100% that the whole CI Ray storyline was cheap, cliche and insulting to the fans because it was done in a been there, done that kind of way. I do give the writers and the powers that be credit in that they didn't drag out Ziva and Ray's romance any longer than they did because I hated how Tony's Frog storyline was dragged out for the entire season a few years ago when it was obvious that it was doomed to end badly. I enjoyed the episode and accepted long ago that Tony's relationship with EJ was over long before last week in fact to me their relationship was over during the Season 9 finale. This was my favorite episode of the Season so far. I also felt so sad for the commander's husband, he was clearly crushed at the loss of wife and normally we haven't seen that on this show very often. We normally see that the spouse isn't all that they appear to be or something along those lines but in this case the writers choose to make the spouse sympathetic and I liked that. Jaleel White has a cameo in the very beginning, Yuki. His character finds the commander's body, I hope that helps. |

Ray was def not the man for her.
