Ah, you mean that scene. Well, then I understand what you mean more. I guess it's just so badly built, the Tony/Jimmy friendship, that it throws me when they suddenly have him in a scene. I don't think the two have interacted at any point since that Gibbs/Ducky 2.0 scene, right? At least not on their own.
Indifference is definitely extremely bad for a show. In a way, the way people get riled up about how bad Bones has gotten is better - because then we still care. But Ziva? I can't be bothered.
I really don't know either. People can do bad things that the viewers won't agree with (Buffy and Spike in season six are excellent examples), but we have to still like the basics of who the characters are. Unfortunately, I still have no idea who Ziva is, or who Tony is. I have a better grasp of McGee - but more of who he was *before* all of his current arrogance, than now. All of which makes it very hard for me to like them now that they're doing dumb things.
