Dead Air Deeks

Ok, I'm just gonna say it--Liked the episode but there was too much Deeks dead air time. This is what happened in season 7. The writers spent precious minutes "showcasing" that moron instead of using the time to forward the plot. That whole bit with the receptionist. Who the hell CARES where she proposed? How was this useful information? He'd already covered this with Sam. And the bit in the interrogation room by himself? Again, a WASTE OF TIME. Use that time to move the plot forward; give us some USEFUL information--not more of this clown. They don't give us Callen and Sam alone in their interrogation rooms. Why not? I'd rather watch them or listen to Eric and Nell or listen to a conversation between Hetty and Kensi. I hope they don't revert to their past mistakes and give Deeks more air time than he deserves--and he deserves no more than 6 minutes on his own.

That receptionist moment highlights the problem with Deeks. The show is interrupted so he can have these type of "comedic" scenes. The same thing happens with Densi. Pointless "comedic" scenes. Sadly, for many many fans of the show, neither of these things are funny or interesting.

That's a good explanation: too much time on things that don't move the story forward. A scene that's short (conversation between Callen and Kensi in the firing range or the scene when Nell gave Eric the clock or the opening banter) is okay; those give the characters personality. We all KNOW how Kensi and Deeks feel about each other. Stop beating us over the head with it! Same with Deeks and his humor.

More Deeks the better I say.

If that happens, CBS can kiss goodbye to their improved ratings as season 6 AND 7 proved. I am SO hoping Deeks is somehow involved in this whole mole thing and gets arrested, killed, or leaves NCIS and runs away to Bali and surfs--he's not very good at that, but he's better at that than being a law enforcement officer or an attorney (the Public Defender's office probably fired him--lol).

That's because you are most likely suffering from "Deeks fanaticism"--a condition most evident in boys of all ages who engage in and enjoy sharing sexist comments and moronic one-liners; females who think men who pay special attention to their body parts, humiliate and degrade them in public, and condescend to them even though they could kick that man's butt are "adorable," older women who find that he reminds them of their son; or older men who wish they could get away with his behavior and be considered "cute."

Contrary to the belief of many Deeks fanatics and Densi diehards, Deeks and Densi are actually NOT the same as NCIS: LA. But their little hearts and minds can't fathom that horrible fact, so they prefer the "alternative fact" that these are identical. So sad 

Agree! "Densi" is a boring and a waste of precious screen time I don't mind the Deeks alone scenes but I agree that it would be great to see the same alone scenes for Callen, Sam and Kensi.
