Obviously I'm very very upset... I mean I really hope Tiva will happen. But then again I'm being pulled in another direction saying the relationship might take away all the passion & tension that makes us love how they interact with each other...

I am really really upset. I mean, I too, want the relationship to happen nearer the end of the show as too not take away the passion we have seen from them before. But hopefully Shane Brennan is just trying to throw us off the scent and hopefully something will happen between them. I mean, he had said that they will definitely get together he just doesn't know when, so I wish he would just make up his mind and stop playing with our emotions. Just praying that he playing with us though.

i totally agree with NCIS_Addict bc the tension and passion ect are what make this couple worth watching, but still i want them to get together SOO bad :((

I really do hope they get together, but the waiting for it to happen is what makes the anticipation so much fun in my opinion anyways.

I would love for them to get together, but that would take away the biggest part of the humor and tension in the show. Then it would be just like any other crime show, and thats not our NCIS is it? Exactly. I would love for it to happen, but like at the last season of the show or something like that. And I don't want that to happen for a really long time. I think that a longtime or shorttime would both become a problem so I chose it would ruin everything.

He was only speaking for the rest of this season...the tiva arc if it happens will be in the final seaason of the show..they have to let Ziva deal and heal from everything that has happened to her and i just don't see them rushing right into it so i am glad that he put an end to all the rumors and set the record for what we can expect for the rest of season 7.

I was thinking though. . .these spoilers are always very misleading, right? So maybe no "long term arc" implies the opposite. Maybe a short-term relationship? Although I think that would bug me too.

Yeah if they're not gonna be in a long term relationship then i don't want anything to happen. I want them to get together and it be for keeps and if it takes a season or two then it'll be worth the wait. Anything else would cheapen what they so obviously feel for each other. I just don't want them to be with anyone else either. Keep them single till they get together!!!
