NCIS: LA Stars Eric Christian Olsen and Daniela Ruah Drop Intel on Deeks and Kensi
It may not be safe to entrust Eric Christian Olsen with spoilers. “I’m off to go get killed,” he says, picking himself up from a shaded picnic table and heading back out into a Southern California winter heat wave. In the parched hills above Santa Clarita, sets for an Afghan army base and village have been constructed, making NCIS: Los Angeles suddenly seem like NCIS: Afghanistan. “This,” he repeats, “is the scene where Deeks dies.”
He’s joshing, of course, since the only fatality for Olsen’s character this season is more along the lines of “I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight,” if you can stand an ’80s-music reference. His Deeks and Daniela Ruah’s Kensi have long provided the implicit romance that complements the bromance of LL Cool J and Chris O’Donnell on the smash series. In November, the two finally hooked up, however briefly, shocking fans who expected an endless variation on the unconsummated flirtation common to coworkers on TV procedurals. But no sooner had the pairing known to shippers as Densi become an actual thing than Kensi was sent to Afghanistan, where, in the upcoming episode I’m observing, her partner and putative beau has come looking for her.
“And that’s where the storytelling gets really interesting. The journey after that moment is much more interesting than the journey before that moment.”
I agree and can’t wait for it.
BTW, Tiva vs Densi.
Tiva was totally screwed up, by writers (and Glasberg).
Too long storyline (8 years is really too much).
I hope to learn from this, and do not do the same mistake.
No soap opera, no cold “standard” working place.
Something better.
I know, that is very hard to find.
Is very hard to find balance, what still looks like reality, but is better.
NCIS lost chance, hope you make it way better.
Anyway, this looks extremely good.
“much more interesting than the journey before that moment”
Messy, not clear storyline, just perfect.
All the best guys, you are rocks.
i don’t buy tv guide magazine because i thinks way to expensive for such a thin magazine. but since eric and daniela are on it i will go buy me a copy!
