Holy cow! Didn't see that coming... My thoughts, going in, were -->

1, most likely - Ducky's new assistant
2, less likely - Proby whathisname...

Yoiks.... Anyone hear whether she had something planned in RL?

Ciao,

ps Little stretch in time? Bad guy goes from the docks inland, climbs nearby building to sniper post in time?...

BTW, I'm pretty sure at one time, back in her Gretchen days on Dawson's Creek, Sasha Alexander did have implants (and probably has them to this day).

Looks like Sasha asked to be let go on her own terms:

http://www.usatoday.com/life/televis...tv-obits_x.htm


Caitlin 'Kate' Todd
NCIS (CBS)

Character: Naval crime investigator

Actor: Sasha Alexander

When Kate died: Tuesday's finale

Cause of death: A terrorist from a continuing story line was after NCIS team leader Leroy Gibbs (Mark Harmon); Kate took the bullet — causing tremendous emotional pain for Gibbs and creating new dramatic opportunities for next season.

Why? Creator Donald Bellisario says that Alexander asked out of the physically demanding show, that she decided she didn't want to stay for what will likely be a run of many seasons. "She worked like a trouper to the very end," says Bellisario, who is casting for a foreign-born female character.

Damn, that is going to screw up the casts chemistry - they all meshed perfectly together, particularly the three leads. I'm going to miss Sasha and Weatherly's weekly give-and-take.

SmithsGuy 05-25-05 11:46 AM

Hmmm, "foreign-born female character?" How bout Behrooz' mom from 24... Add some hardnosed maternal control to the bunch and spar w Harmon's character.

Otherwise, I can see us getting Kelly Hu for the Nth time.

Ciao,

bigsoos 05-25-05 12:18 PM

don't mind getting some Kelly Hu

what about the former NCIS agent that was on the last show?

Metrodub 05-25-05 12:20 PM

I think my wife and I both did the "OOOOHHHH SSSHHIIIIITTT" at the same time. My wife hadn't seen any of the promos but after Kate took the bullet while wearing a vest and after DiNozzo
Spoiler:
survived the car explosion
, I figured it was just another advertising ploy to garner viewers. Wow, was I wrong.

BigDan 05-25-05 12:43 PM

I thought the promos were an advertising ploy until Abby talked about her dream, and I figured Kate was doomed. Even after the vest thing, Abby's dream comment made me figure a second shot was coming. But even expecting it, it was a little shocking for some reason. If that makes any sense at all.

TheGuy 05-25-05 01:16 PM

It was just plain COLD!! Shot between the eyes!! I LOVED it!! I was shocked and dismayed but loved it. I wish more shows would have the balls to kill off main charactors like that!

Quatermass 05-25-05 01:29 PM

I was stunned as well, I don't watch the show that often, but I always enjoy it when I do. When I saw the promo that one of the main characters was going to get killed off, I thought it would be either David McCallum or Mark Harmon, because those would be the most likely to have another job lined up. After Kate took the first dive and bullet and got up, I assumed they were going to go downstairs and find Probie dead, I totally didn't see that coming. That was really cool. I'm going to have to watch this more often, it's way better than most of the crap I watch.

bigsoos 05-25-05 03:13 PM

I think a lot of people yelled, "OHHH SHIIIIIT!" when she got hit. I know I did.

Kal-El 05-25-05 03:27 PM

This makes me very sad. I loved Michael Weatherly's chemistry with her, not to mention she's hot. That was just mean. Shower scene last week, then bam. Right between the eyes. They better get somebody good to replace her.

flashburn 05-25-05 06:58 PM

As many other's have said, this sucks. The thing I liked most about this show is everyone's chemistry, and now with Sasha gone, I can only hope that her replacement can fill her shoes.

Same here...having seen the CBS promos, I knew someone was going to go; I thought it was going to be David McCallum ("Ducky"), as his reduced screen time in recent episodes (at least the ones I have seen) made it seem that he was being phased out.

girlnextdoor 05-27-05 09:02 AM

I did not see any promos on TV before watching this and was completly shocked.
My husband who does not watch it evey week with me kept backing it up on TIVO and watching it over and over. I finally had to take the remote away from him.

Legolas 08-18-05 01:42 PM

Any rumors on her replacement? I never watched JAG, but I read that she wasn't in the "NCIS pilot" episodes. Any chance the original actress would be brought onboard?

She was recruited by Gibbs from the Secret Service in one of the earlier episodes. Just like McGee was added to the cast later on.

mikehunt 08-18-05 05:35 PM

Gunny's done law enforcement before. maybe he'll come back from whatever CIA op Webb has him on and go from the Marines to NCIS

B.A. 08-18-05 06:22 PM

Maybe it will be the one broad Tony has a thing for that they have had to work w/ a few times. I think she was on HOMEFRONT back in the day.

Patman 08-18-05 06:31 PM

I read it was going to be a lady with more of an international flavor, and not all that uptight about her sexuality. IOW, she'll eat Tony alive, and he'll be smiling all the way through the experience.

coladar 08-18-05 09:10 PM

Wow, I would have thought someone would have posted this by now. I read about the replacement a few weeks ago. Doesn't look like an upgrade to Kate. I love the show too much to say I'd drop it, but I remember this woman from Chicago Hope and... Well, I'm not anxiously awaiting the season premiere.

Story + Picture here

B.A. 08-18-05 09:15 PM

Lauren Holly? I guess we should be thankful she won't be a regular.

resinrats 09-20-05 05:18 PM

New NCIS tonight 9/20
 
FYI. Can't wait to see Gibbs get some revenge on Ari.
