Thanks to a tweet by @ErikPalladino himself we know that he will be back on NCIS Los Angeles soon:
Just wrapped on another few episodes of NCIS:LA…thanks @DanielaRuah and the crew for being so great.
What do you make of those news ?? Leave a comment with your thoughts…
I don’t know what scares me the most. The fact that he is back? Or the fact that it will be for a few episodes?
I really hope nothing happens between him and Kensi. I will never forgive her.
Yeah, I’m not really thrilled he’s back either. I assume he’s around to work with Kensi while she’s overseas (mainly because he thanks her directly in his tweet). Not really looking forward to seeing him at all. And I’m with you about something happening between them. I don’t have any desire to see Kensi and Sabatino together romantically. At all. If Kensi does reject Deeks tonight, or asks for some time, and then gets together with Sabatino…I will be seriously annoyed. And that’s a big if. I don’t see Kensi starting things with Deeks and then turning to Sabatino because she’s lonely or scared. She’s not that kind of person. Hopefully, there won’t be any romance between Kensi and Sabatino. That would ruin everything they’ve started to build up between Kensi and Deeks.
I absolutely agree with you. Getting involved with Sabatino will be completely out of character. She has always been strong and independent. She doesn’t need a man like him in her life.
I know we all expect her to reject Deeks, but I have this feeling since the beginning of the season that he will be the one to take one step behind.
Only a few hours left to find out.
Kensi is absolutely independent. I just don’t see her starting something with Deeks (moving the relationship forward, trying to figure out how to be in a relationship and a partnership together) and then getting lonely overseas and starting something with Sabatino. It’s kind of like cheating. And she is not that kind of person.
I think Deeks has always been more forward with things. The kiss, telling Kensi his happy place during torture was her, etc. Granted, he was super vulnerable in telling her she was his happy place. I’m totally guessing here, but going by the promo (which could definitely be misleading), it seems Deeks is putting himself out there to start something between them. With Kensi’s past, I can see her not being ready to go there with Deeks just yet. I’m just hoping it’s more of a “I’m not ready but when I am, I hope you’ll be there because I do want something with you someday soon” and not a “I can’t risk our partnership, but let’s be friends” type of thing. But you’re right. We’ll find out in a few hours. Fingers crossed!
You are reading my mind. The “I’m not ready but when I am, I hope you’ll be there because I do want something with you someday soon” is what I expect to hear but not from Kensi. From Deeks. Something like “even though I haven’t admitted it all this time I am damaged, I am trying to be the man I was so give me some time”.
Anyway, I don’t mind who says what. At this point we are expecting anything. The one thing I want is a goodbye scene on ep 10. I don’t want Kensi to leave without saying goodbye. I don’t want Hetty to make her leave without giving her the chance to say goodbye.
Maybe we’re reading each other’s minds? 🙂 I agree. At this point, I don’t care who says what as long as there’s forward movement in their relationship. I still think Kensi might back off, but I can see how you think it would be Deeks that backs off. It’s anybody’s guess at this point.
And yes. There needs to be a Kensi/Deeks goodbye scene in episode 10. It will be a huge letdown if there isn’t one. Here’s to hoping everything works out for the better! 🙂
HI !!! THE FIRST TIME I SAW LEFT ME COLD TWITER, NOT WORSE AS EVI SAYS THIS BACK, OR WILL BE IS SEVERAL EPISODES??? AND THE WORST IS YET TO COME IF EVI WILL HAVE SOMETHING ROMANTIC WITH KENSI!!!! VADA IM LOOKING AT THAT, BUT FOR WRITERS WILL BRING THIS CHARACTER IS NOT JUST LIKE WHEN WILL KENSI AFGANISTAN ???? AND THIS ONE WITH GRANGER!!!! THE TRUTH IS PUT A COUPLE AS KENSI SABATINO WITH THE FANS GOING TO BE SO DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!! FAVORITE HAS TO BRING JACK???? THIS IS THE GRAND COMPLICATION OF EPISODE 18???? SHANE BRENNAN COULD DO SOMETHING TO FANS??? IF YOU FINISH DOING THIS WE WILL THINK AND I CAN NOT UNDERTAND HATE END AS GOING TO LOVE HIM?????
I liked his character, so, let him come! It might be another joined mission, why not? And yes, it might be him Kensi has to work with abroad, him and Granger?
It might also be that he will be partnered up with Deeks during the time Kensi is away. Now, thát might be fun 🙂
Oh Richtsje I hope he partners up with Deeks. Unfortunately I share the same fears as Cintia. He only thanked Dani on twitter so I can only assume he shares scenes with her.
Anyway, I trust Kensi. Besides Afganistan (if that IS where she is going) is not exactly ideal for romantic adventures. The last thing she should have in mind is getting romantically involved with Sabatino.
Unless…..the dinner goes way wrong, Deeks admits to her he is not ready for a relationship yet, she gets disappointed and makes a reckless choice concerning Sabatino.
I don’t know…it could be none of all that. We could be freaking out with no reason and he is just guest starring. Let us hope so!
I don’t think there will be anything romantic between him and Kensi. This is another false trail we are thrown our way. While we are panicking about Sabatino, something else, unexpected, will hit us. So I think we should just welcome him back as he is a funny guy and enjoyable character.
It’s all about the writers, and whatever continuity they see fit to put into the story line and character development, of course, but what makes these characters so very special is the talent of the two actors who add nuance, depth, reality, and so much more to every scene they are in without saying a single word or line of dialogue. And then there is what they do WITH the dialogue they are given–WOW! be still my heart! I can’t wait for tonight and next week. It is going to possibly be a bumpy ride, but in no way boring.
I don’t see Kensi getting involved w Sabatino, but if Deeks is aware that they are working together, it will drive him crazy that Sabatino is over there hitting on her (which he surely will) while Deeks is stuck stateside. Hopefully Kensi will see the difference between Sabatino’s smarminess and Deeks’ sincerity, but it’s not certain – for all her toughness and independence, Kensi nevertheless is seriously lacking in emotional intelligence.
The first time I saw the Sabatino/Kensi library scene in Wanted, I thought that Sabatino was articulating Deeks’ predicament, but the more I think about it, Deeks doesn’t have an issue with being in love with his partner. Kensi, with her fear of loss and abandonment, is the one for whom that is a problem. The ironic thing is that if she can’t get past that fear, she may lose Deeks both as partner and as potentially her true love. It’s a dilemma.
Everything is speculation at this point … we have no idea what the writers have planned for Sabatino. Am I happy to see him back? Absolutely not. Could he be the catalyst that prompts either Kensi or Deeks to finally do something about their ‘thing’? Could be. We’ll just have to wait and see.
Since I tend to look at the darker side of things … I can see them using Sabatino as a romantic interest for Kensi if she decides she can’t handle being in love with her partner … being that close. If they use him as part of the team overseas … Kensi could come back in a relationship with a semi-recurring character that keeps her and Deeks from being anything more than friends (the writers over at NCIS did something similar with Ziva and CIA Ray). Remember, misery makes strange bedfellows … being sent to a war zone may cause Kensi to rely on Sabatino because Deeks isn’t there for her and that would add plenty of drama/angst to their story.
Mr. Brennan said that the road for Deeks and Kensi wouldn’t be an easy one … and we are assuming that they end up together in the end … but maybe they don’t. It felt horrible just thinking that but we are at the mercy of the powers that be and they will do what they see fit for the series.
