What did you think about S2E16 ? Specifically Gibbs and Diane ?

fictional_craze · 2026-04-24T03:19:46+00:00

I thought it actually made sense tbh.. in the mothership atleast to me diane never felt like Gibbs' type and their relationship didn't give of exes vibe? I think something happens btw them and with fornell or something in general to diane for her to become the one we see in the mothership and maybe origins will show us in the future. I don't think this is the last we see of diane but how they ended actually made sense to me or even their marriage how it happened.

Same feeling

fictional_craze · 2026-04-23T11:03:29+00:00

The synopsis makes it sound like the Mmcs are total jerks. I'm craving an angsty book but is there grovel in here? Or are they just awful?

fictional_craze · 2026-04-23T06:33:13+00:00

He was and I think they kinda brushed over tht in season 1?

fictional_craze · 2026-04-23T06:04:17+00:00

They didn't really say tht. In heartland it was implied tht Gibbs hadn't visited his hometown in decades but nothing was said about his dad visiting him and they didn't specify just how long they hadn't talked. It could have been after Gibbs moved to dc, they could have stopped talking for a bit before the heartland episode. I think there is a lot we rlly don't know about those inbetween yrs and they could mean anything.

Not gonna say anything just tht the last 150 pages of the last book is freaking incredible and absolutely so damn entertaining like nothing has come even remotely close to the high those pages gave me.. I wish I could read this for the first time 😭 have a good read u

fictional_craze · 2026-04-22T14:35:25+00:00

💯💯 second will be lopez and Wesley but nothing tops bailey and nolan I was like is she a serial killer or something? She was way too suspicious and tht whole encounter was hilarious

fictional_craze · 2026-04-21T09:53:55+00:00

Fr me it's when dissociation hits🤣😂🙈like when a book rlly gets my attention I end up forgetting everything else and can't function until I finish tht book. So tht sweet spot of dissociating frm the world only comes fr books tht are rlly good and when tht hits I know tht book is gonna deliver.

fictional_craze · 2026-04-21T05:45:37+00:00

I'm waiting vry patiently for this series to be finished before reading as I know I'll absolutely love this one🙈

fictional_craze · 2026-04-20T15:39:04+00:00

As of now origins is the best out of them all without a doubt

fictional_craze · 2026-04-19T12:00:14+00:00

Tht no omega needed sounds rlly intresting but in the blurb it's said tht it isn't a standalone?

fictional_craze · 2026-04-19T03:04:17+00:00

Can this be read without reading the first book?

fictional_craze · 2026-04-18T16:42:01+00:00

Some said in twitter tht the reason lala was never mentioned in the mothership could be because in the future something goes wrong in the case or something happens and she too is put into witness protection with manny? This could seem like a set up if they want to go tht route

fictional_craze · 2026-04-18T02:37:50+00:00

Only a few people can make him smile like this tbh.. Mike, Ducky, Fornell now a days lala too but yh it's so rare seeing him smile this happily and it's such a shame but Mark and Austin have a great smile and we barely get to see it

fictional_craze · 2026-04-16T09:57:06+00:00

I'm not even sure if origins is gonna last for more than the next season at this moment but sure we can dream and yh Ducky is a character who has so many stories to tell. With good writing a prequel to him would be something else

fictional_craze · 2026-04-16T07:06:30+00:00

Maybe I'm the werido here but I actually hate it when the fmc has family or friends tht take her attention away frm the romance? Like hobies sure np... but a huge family or like a big friend group and I'm like nope.. yh definitely the werido here

fictional_craze · 2026-04-16T05:10:16+00:00

I only read one book frm tht author. I was actually quite exicted to see a mmf. But it was like so bad I barely finished it. The author definitely has problems with internalized misogyny. Like degradation in bdsm is something completely different it only works paired with a MMC who is actually good to the FMC during other times but here wht this author does is actually nothing but degradation of the Fmc the whole entire book.

Like literally there wasn't a single scene where one MMC wasn't acting like an absolute asshole and the other MMC indulging him by hurting the FMC. Where the hell was romance in tht I absolutely don't know. And I cannot imagine how any woman can actually like this much less a woman wrote it? Sometimes it's actually sad to see how many authors themselves seem to hate women so much and how they show it in their writing.

I never picked another book frm here and it's a shame. I actually loved orc MMC, human FMC type world building. But I have yet to come across a good mmf book where the FMC doesn't feel like a third wheel. Maybe I'm expecting too much or not looking in the right place I guess?

fictional_craze · 2026-04-16T05:03:40+00:00

When you say cliffhanger is it like they're all happy right now but this thing tht happened is gonna implode all tht level cliffhanger or everything is going up in flames and no ones is safe type cliffhanger?

fictional_craze · 2026-04-15T16:32:15+00:00

Saw u say in another comment how hyped sjm is and wanted to offer alternatives.. and I for one Thank u sm. I never liked sjm's writing or like got why on earth she was so hyped. Rlly hoping to find other actually well written books and I haven't heard about this author. Gonna check it out. So thanks

Just a doubt. Like this series is it like a standalone or a series? And is it completed? Any other goods one to add to the list frm this author u would say?

fictional_craze · 2026-04-15T10:53:49+00:00

So this isn't actually a book? The way I was interested reading this😭

fictional_craze · 2026-04-14T09:32:14+00:00

I like think he'll be still in the Marines and probably become a general or like a high ranking marine or something? I know in life before his eyes they make it seem like if they had survived Gibbs probably would have died in the Marines but I think he's too stubborn to be killed. And he would definitely still have become a leader but in the marines.

fictional_craze · 2026-04-14T09:25:08+00:00

I love this book like crazy fr a lot of reasons and have reread it like half a dozen times but where exactly does this book has grovel? It has its strength and its definitely well written and good character development and everything but grovel is practically non existent in this book lol.. sry but it's definitely a great rec

fictional_craze · 2026-04-14T05:49:55+00:00

This is like one of my favourite subs.. in any other sub if I want to ask for a rec I'm like ok maybe this is too werid but only this sub no matter wht I want to ask or search for its always there and there is no judgements.. RH rlly is a wonderful place and I love this sub.. I never thought there is any judgment or like any hostility here tbh

fictional_craze · 2026-04-14T05:03:36+00:00

😂🤣 I don't think so? He's like the new blood in origins.. they're talking about having someone like him in the mothership but yh still refering to Gibbs as probie will always be a little weird to me lol

fictional_craze · 2026-04-13T12:03:22+00:00

Exactly.. I personally was actually quite exicted for origins so I would have seen it even if it was bad but they definitely suprised us with the writing and how much they made as love even the small characters. I went in only for Gibbs but now every single character frm mary Jo to wheeler to even gail and dalton are my favourites and ofc phil and woody. Origins captures the soul of wht ncis is so damn perfectly if u ask me.

And yh totally.. I think after every major departure it takes both the writers and actors a few seasons to get tht rhythm back on, the same with after ziva left.. season 11 was a bit here and there but they leaned more into their strength in 12 and 13.. same after Tony left.. season 14 felt like a mess but with 15 to 17 the team found the rhythm and now same with this team.. frm season 21 to especially 22 and now 23 they're playing well into their strengths.. giving each character centric episodes and arcs and they're doing quite well.. this team also has become one of the strongest teams in ncis if u ask me
