Wow, they really did screw up. I only watched a bit of NCIS- I didn't make it to Ziva, but I do think people can be a bit... rabid when it comes to their hatred of her, which bothers me. But what she and McGee did here would have been absolutely unacceptable. I do think some of the things Abby said were over the top, especially the bit about hiding a body. But, wow, Vance suspended Tony... gee, Gibbs is really not going to be happy about that. Tim is earning my respect by actually being a man and owning up, while Ziva reeeally needs to stop being so willfully ignorant. How could she not know that what she did was wrong?

Good story! I like the idea of the trainers being part of the team while Ziva and Tim are on probation!

I absolutely loved reading this, and you did well with progressing the story. You didn't try to load everything into the first chapter or drag in out to where it became boring. It was just right... Like Goldie Locks and the three bears. :)

I enjoyed it none the less.

Also Sorry if I'm annoying you with all my commenting. I just want to make sure you know that I liked reading your works.

Great story. A shame about Ziva but it fit the story well. I had sort of hoped to see her sentenced to a mental institution.

Probably one of the best tags to Dead Air I've read so far.
You had Tony and Gibbs very professional and matter of fact when talking about the situation and the measures needed and that's good. Some writers go too much over the top, are sometimes very harsh and unrealistic or they have Tony whining and childish and McGee and Ziva downright cruel to Tony and totally unrepentant or obtuse. You kept everyone in character and the way you handle the aftermath seems fitting for adults working as federal agents. It made sense that Ziva would be more difficult to handle.
The only critic is that sometimes I felt like the story was dragging along, going really slowly and coming back to the same topic over and over. I think you wanted to show how slowly things improve or get back on track (which makes sense) but it could have been shorter.

Good story! I always felt that turning off the Michael should have been a bigger deal and Tony should have reported it since that’s his job!

Tony and Gibbs are being way too tolerant of Ziva. She's rude, arrogant, disrespectful of American laws and NCIS protocols, and she's not a team player. She puts investigations and court cases at risk because of her behaviors. Why give so many chances to such a poor agent?

This is a fantastic dead air fix-it. Very realistic! Ziva got so many chances but I think she was never fit to be on the team to begin with. She had a pathological need to be superior, she had no loyalty, she didn't truly care about anyone but herself, people we're pawns or tools to her. I love that Tony got so much support and that Tim learned to do better. Love the Tony/Gibbs friendship and the OCs!

Favorite tag for Dead Air. Nicely done!

Really enjoyed, thanks for a great read.

Awesome story! I loved the development of McGee and his relationship with Tony!

This was beautiful! So, so well written and it had a competent Tony DiNozzo which is honestly the only thing I want in life

I love this story

Good for Tony and McGee

Ziva needs to stop being so stupid!
