@DeeksFreak
This is great! I’m going to bookmark it for future reference. Thanks for taking the time to compile that all in one place!
Only one error…he was shot with a 22 caliber, not a 9mm. But, other than that this was great fun to read. You had me laughing out loud a couple of times. Thanks for all the hard work and for sharing it with us.
Hello ! I love the profile development of deeks, I think that s a good preview of what we ll see in season 5 !!!!! please keep doing these things that are great and we come over to our favorite characters!!!!!!
Along with the desert, he doesn’t care for the woods either.
This is great!
This is great! Don’t forget the Specialty undercover assignment he has mastered! HUSBANT!!!!!
This is really good except I have no recollection of him ever speaking Japanese at a decent level (or even speaking it at all!) so I believe that is a mistake. You could write ‘aspiring German speaker’ instead 🙂 It is Sam that speaks japanese, not Deeks.
We went back and forth on this and he did speak a little Japanese in the episode where he played the waiter..how fluent he is well that’s another story.
Really enjoyed the dossier. Just one quibble. From a police officer’s point of view (at least my point of view) Deeks’ humor has never been out of place on-duty or off-duty. I’ve seen (and participated in) much worse. Police officers use humor to deflect the awful things they have to do or see as do other emergency services professions including, but not limited to, doctors, nurses, firemen (and women), and E.M.T.’s. I really didn’t get why that was included in the dossier nor why it would be considered as some sort of character flaw. To me it’s as natural as day and night; it’s just part of who I am that, but something I sometimes have to tamp down because many civilians don’t understand. But Deeks is around law enforcement people, he does his job and does it well, so it shouldn’t be considered as something that needs to be dealt with. Okay, off my soapbox. Except for that quibble, it was an excellent piece and I thank the author for it.
Ha! That was an awesome profile of Deeks! Loved it and remembered, and laughed, right the way through 🙂
Thanks all! We are taking a lot of your suggestions and adding them to the Profile. Please continue to let us know f there is anything else you would like to see added! We will up date the document and post it again soon. Glad you all like it. Gayle and our team did a great job!
A lot of hard work and thought obviously went into this and it’s good to have so much information on Deeks all in one place.
However, I would just like to say something regarding the ‘Distinguishing Marks’ section. The author listed ‘Consistent bruising to shoulders, chest and ribs’ (likely inflicted on regular basis by current partner) and for ‘Medical Recommendations’ – ‘Anger managemwnt counseling for partner!’
Erm…am I the only person who reads this and the words ‘Abusive Relationship’ scream out at me? Am I the only Deeks fan who really dislikes that Kensi punches him – hard – when he does or says something she isn’t keen on?
I keep reading that old adage ‘girls punch the boys they like’ as a way to excuse that Kensi often hits Deeks. You know, sorry, I just don’t buy that. What bugs me too, is that it’s presented on the show as being funny – it’s not!!
Okay, sorry for the rant – but Kensi punching Deeks really gets on my last nerve.
Apart from that….great article, kudos to the author!
I agree with you Judy. The punching thing has gotten old. I think it may be a take off of the way Gibbs slaps Tony on the back of the head to get him back on task. It’s a quirky thing that people seemed to enjoy, so maybe they thought they could do something similar for NCIS: LA. But it has worn out its welcome as far as I’m concerned. I find it tiresome, not cute or funny. Truthfully, I’ve never known any girl to do that to the guy she likes. If Deeks gave Kensi back what she dishes out there would be a major outcry and Deeks would be hated not loved. The fact that he takes her abuse and still loves her (well we know he does) says something about each of them, but it is nothing good. Kensi seems to be a bit of a bully, although only with Deeks, and Deeks comes off rather docile. I think his character (actually both characters) deserves better than that. I guess because Deeks is my favorite, the constant belittling and references implying his not up to par with the rest of the team annoys me. Now I’ve had my rant too.
And of course I should not forget to say thanks to Gayle and everyone for putting this together. I look forward to it being updated in the coming year since we’ve been promised we’ll be learning more about Deeks’ past this year. Yea!
Deb, it’s a relief to know that I’m not the only Deeks fan who dislikes him being used as Kensi’s personal punching bag. I was worried about posting what was likely to be an unpopular opinion!!
Anyway, I was thinking about this some more and while it’s probably the wrong place to say this (apologies in advance), it’s not just the physical abuse that he takes from her, it’s the verbal jabs that she hurls at him too. ‘Parley’ was where the jabs became abusive though – I mean, she even sided with Monica in referring to Deeks as ‘a bitch’.
Okay, I’m putting my soapbox away!! Phew…two rants in two days….feeling a bit giddy!!
Judy,
Totally agree with you again. That’s what I kind of meant when I mentioned the constant belittling. Sam has issues with Deeks (though I can’t really understand why and his reasons in the finale seemed weak at best) and Callen is Sam’s best bud, so maybe it’s supposed to be a pick on the little brother type of thing. But Kensi?! I can’t decide if it’s supposed to be her trying to deny her feelings for him or an expression of her jealousy, but either way I don’t like it. I guess since I would never want to hurt someone I loved by saying such hurtful things or have someone I loved say such things to me, I can’t understand Kensi; and to me some of the stuff she says is pretty darn hurtful IMO. I suppose a lot it is to keep the tension going between the two. There is always the constant fear that if two characters get together romantically, the audience will lose interest and the show runners definitely wouldn’t want that to happen. Maybe after what happened to Deeks in the finale, they’ll tone things down a bit next year.
No, you are not alone. Men can be abused, too. It makes me feel bad how unsupportive and just plain mean everyone is to Deeks. It is just as easy to be nice as it is to be caustic. If you care about someone, show it.
Well, it looks like there are at least 3 of us on board. Since Deeks finally called Sam out on his crap in the season finale maybe he’ll do something similar with Kensi this coming year, assuming he isn’t completely shut down with some type of PTSD after what he goes through. I can’t imagine Kensi not being sensitive to that, especially since her ex-fiance suffered from PTSD and that seemed to really affect her. Still, the look on Deeks face when Kensi called him “a big fat liar” and later agreed with Monica that he was a “bitch” in Parley showed how much she can hurt him with words. (ECO is really great with the hurt expressions.) The characters and the relationships need to grow up. Kensi isn’t six (isn’t the punching thing something a first grader would do?) and neither is the audience.
Hi Deb and pracarual,
It’s good that there are a few of us at least who can see the abuse meted out to Deeks by Kensi. I wish there were more of us, but this topic seems to be one that gets conveniently brushed under the carpet by Densi shippers for the most part. I keep hoping that the show will deal with the belittling and bullying of Deeks in a way that shows how much it must affect him, rather than him always masking his hurt by being ‘the class clown’ all the time.
It bothers me that not many people seem concerned that there is an abusive relationship being played out in front of millions of viewers every episode and no one bats an eyelid at the arm-punching, arm-twisting physical abuse and the horrendous jealousy-induced verbal and emotional bullying. I guess if the abuse is glossed over by ‘cute, funny dialogue’ and dished out by an attractive kick-ass woman to an attractive good-natured guy, then no-one is expected to notice it. Deb said it best – if Deeks treated Kensi like she treats him, there would be a huge outcry.
Actually, Deb, your comments are brilliant and the points you make are compelling and valid. I agree with you, I hope Deeks calls Kensi out on her crap too. Although, if Jack shows up soon as is expected, perhaps Deeks will get a bit of much needed breathing space from her while she is dealing with Jack. It’ll be interesting to see if she punches Jack too, or if that’s something she reserves especially for Deeks.
To be honest, the soft punches Kensi throws at Deeks never really bothered me that much!She is not actually trying to hurt him. As someone said Gibbs does the same with the head slaps.
Talking about “Parley”, Kensi’s words might have hurt Deeks but don’t forget his actions might have hurt her more. She was disappointed at him and felt betrayed once again. Her feelings consumed her and that was and outburst. Of course I don’t aplaude it but I understand it.
Judy, thanks for for kind words. You, pracarual and I can be the 3 musketeers on this issue, lol. I’ve got my fingers crossed for next season. Can’t wait really.
Aria (love that name by the way), I was also the one that mentioned the Tony and Gibbs slap thing, but I don’t think it’s really the same. It’s different when it goes across genders. Tony allows Gibbs the open handed slap, but Deeks really has no choice and Kensi knows it. She may consider herself one of the boys and think she can act like them (although I don’t remember ever seeing Sam or Callen hit Deeks), but there is no way anyone on the team would ever forget she is a woman and slap/hit/punch or whatever back (unless it was an accident or they were working on their martial arts with appropriate gear or something like that). Of course he could report her (so could Tony for that matter), but that would make him look like a huge wimp and wouldn’t exactly score points with Kensi, so he lets it go.
As far as Kensi jealous verbal retaliation. I get that she is attacking out of jealousy. But she has never let her feelings for him be known to him anymore than he has for her (except when their “thing” is mentioned), so I’m not sure why she should feel betrayed. And, as he said, he was doing his job, nothing more than Michelle, who is married, was doing in Descent. She understood what Michelle was doing and was okay with it. Even Sam wasn’t jealous of Michelle’s undercover work, just worried/scared for her. (It was obvious that Kensi, despite her jealously, was worried for Deeks in Parley as well, but jealously did seem to get the better of her.)
Perhaps she felt betrayed because Deeks didn’t tell her about the assignment, but the show made it pretty clear that it was need to know and other than Hetty and Granger no one needed to know. (They even had a cover story they told Kensi and the rest of the team in another episode to cover for him.) Maybe the real problem is she tries to hold her feelings back, but sometimes they overwhelm her and when they come to the surface, she just explodes, although it is a controlled explosion. Regardless, it was obvious (at least to me and should have been to Kensi too) that the undercover assignment was very difficult for Deeks (probably because of his feelings for Kensi), yet she had to rub salt into the wounds anyway. I think by the end of Parley, she realized it, which is why she wanted to go after him when he took off after interviewing Monica. Of course, Sam and Callen knew Deeks was having a hard time too and they could see Kensi’s reaction to Monica and Deeks together, so they stopped her from going after him. They probably thought he needed some time to get his act together and were afraid Kensi would make things worse. Of course, we’ll never know. It’s all subject to interpretation.
In any case, I’m hoping for some more character evolution next year. You can have lively, witty banter without some of the underlying meanness and a little less of the physical stuff as well. Of course, I’ll be watching regardless because, although I like all the characters, Deeks is far and away my absolute favorite.
