[edit] Is this correct?

I was reading over the article, and had to raise an eybrow reading this: "She appeared to him telling him the only way he could stop Ari's killing spree was to kill himself". I don't remember that episode very well. I have a tendency to listen to it with one ear, sometimes when I'm tired. Also, I'm watching the German version (being in Germany and all). But shouldn't there be a "him" between "kill" and "himself". I can't imagine Kate telling Gibbs to commit suicde. -- User:Jazhara7 —Preceding comment was added at 00:45, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ghost category

I put the category back pending further discussion (which I'll initiate here). In the first two episodes of the 3rd season Cailin does "haunt" the various characters in the show. I wouldn't characterize this as flashbacks in any sense of the word. She appears almost like "fantasy" versions of herself to people like McGee and DiNozzo. And her presence is sort of left unexplained. Maybe there's a better category, but right now "ghost" seems to work OK. But let's see if we can get consensus on this. 23skidoo 15:55, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't think ghost applies at all. She was not an apparition appearing to them or a physical manifestation of her "soul" in any way. People were daydreaming about a dead character - that does not make the character a ghost, it makes them missed. — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 16:40, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Last Appearance

Wouldn't her last appearance be in Kill Ari, Pt1? Even though she appears in the "fantasies" of the other characters, she is still on screen. Her physical body is also seen in Autopsy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sigz (talk • contribs) 20:24, 28 January 2007 (UTC).

Changed it

[edit] Removed prod tag

I've removed the Prod template from the article, mostly to stall the deletion for some discussion. I fail to see how this article is different in the nature of it's content compared to the character description/biography pages for all manner of other TV Series. e.g. Abby Sciuto, Hiro Nakamura If the quality of the writing of the article is at issue, then either making the change yourself, or adding it to a suitable WikiProject would be a much better course of action. I'm not necessarily saying that it should stay, but I do think that the reasons the deletion was requested should at least be discussed, or explained more fully. Liberator (talk)

Well, first off, saying "what about x" is just pointing at other bad articles and saying "if they can fail to meet muster, why can't this one?"

Secondly, this article is nothing more than plot exposition, retelling what happened in episodes. There's no sourced character analysis, reception, or real-world background information. Especially in dealing with why Sasha Alexander may have left the show, that's worth at least a paragraph, but there's nothing. Now this could be for two reasons: (a) nobody's done the research and put it all together into this article, or (b) the information simply isn't out there to do so with. Either way, the article has been tagged as lacking for some time, and until such a time as somebody does have the resources to built it up to muster, I recommend redirecting it to NCIS. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 19:36, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
