“NCIS: Los Angeles” fans who are eager for Kensi and Deeks to get together have been dismayed at the revelation of a deleted flashback scene from “Spoils of War” that not only details some of Kensi’s torture but also shows the two beloved characters in an intimate situation. Shortly after the scene emerged, viewers headed to social media, YouTube and fan websites to express their disappointment. Of course, it’s not the scene itself that most of the fans hated. It was the fact it was created and then deleted.
The scene that’s available on the “NCIS: Los Angeles” Season 5 DVD shows Kensi and Deeks about to make love (clearly intended to be after they left the restaurant together in “Recovery”) but Kensi is hesitant about the decision and questioning whether it’s the right thing to do. Yes, it appears the did-they-or-didn’t-they-make-love question that fans have debated all season is gaining more and more evidence of a “yes” answer. Then again, the scene ends without a final say on what happened. But technically that’s a moot point, anyway, since the scene never aired. And that’s part of the rub. Viewers get to see an intimate kiss between the two partners and, better yet, Deeks finally admits his feelings – just what Densi fans have been waiting for. But then we are quickly reminded it’s all an illusion. Since the scene never aired, it officially never happened. It was created and then wiped from existence – and then served on a platter to taunt Densi fans as a surreal dream that’s nothing more than a DVD extra.
The deleted “Spoils of War” scene, running just over a minute and a half, begins with Kensi lying on the ground of a cave in Afghanistan where she’s obviously been tortured. Barely able to move, she glances around and sees a campfire and two of her captors and then spies Jack lying on the ground struggling to open his eyes. That is the moment she flashes back to a memory of her and Deeks together. The closely-shot black and white scene features Deeks above her as she lies in bed. Their conversation is quiet, though important.
Kensi whispers her answer softly: “You know if we do this, this changes everything.”
The “this” in the sentence doesn’t need any qualifications. Kensi is contemplating if they should sleep together and change the dynamics of their relationship.
“So what do you want to do?” Deeks asks her.
Kensi seems tortured with the inner conflict. “I don’t want to have to choose,” she says with the dilemma weighing heavy in her voice.
“Don’t. Then don’t choose. We don’t choose,” Deeks pleads with her.
But Kensi is more level-headed than that. “You know that’s not how it works,” she answers. And then she whispers even quieter, “What do you think is gonna happen?”
“I don’t know,” Deeks says honestly. After a pause, he continues, “I don’t care.”
At that Kensi shakes her head, upset and conflicted. Then she starts to cry as she says, “What are you doing to me, Deeks?” But she doesn’t pull away. Instead, she grabs his shirt and kisses him.
As his lips touch hers, Deeks answers in a muffled voice: “Falling in love with you.”
Kensi then grabs him a little tighter and they continue to kiss before she’s brought back to reality in the cave.
While the scene leaves questions about how Kensi escaped the sword (maybe she was saved just in time), one thing it did do was clarify beyond a doubt that the writers and powers-that-be initially did intend to show Deeks and Kensi becoming more than friends. The kiss and the intimacy shown in the deleted scene was a new step for the characters. But the writers backtracked on that decision by cutting the scene and at the same time leaving fans to lament the tortoise pace at which the potential couple moved the rest of the season.
What happened between the two that night of the restaurant was never expanded on and every time they would take a step forward, they would take two steps back. First Kensi was scared to move forward, then Deeks and back and forth. By the time “Three Hearts” rolled around, it was clear the writers didn’t want them together yet. They had teased the audience in “Recovery” and then opted to play out the characters’ fears instead of having them act on their feelings. And the audience did not like being teased.
The deleted scene was the biggest tease of all. While some viewers didn’t like that the scene seemed to show the pair moving forward while Kensi was unsure about what she wanted, most Densi fans were upset that what they’d tormented over and waited for all season was in front of their eyes – but not actually real. After enjoying the scene initially, they quickly realized it never happened in the characters’ worlds, which nullified much of the joy they got from watching it.
The good news is, nothing is ever final in TV Land. I believe they’ve tabled this issue for later. They’ve flirted with it too many times to abandon a relationship for good. (If it doesn’t eventually happen, viewers will revolt for being teased for so long.) So now it’s just a waiting game. And on the bright side for fans, at least we know now that the writers can write a Deeks who expresses his feelings and admits when he is falling in love. So when they finally decide to take the characters in that direction, Densi fans will be ready. And at that time, we won’t have to watch the intimacy we’ve craved seeing hit the cutting room floor. We’ll have the pleasure of seeing it air for real.

What do you think of the deleted scene? How did you feel after watching it? Do you believe Kensi and Deeks will eventually end up together? Tell us what you think in the comments below.
I love you for writing this article and I couldn't have said it better myself.
ReplyDeleteI like you LOVE that the scene exists and can't believe they took it out but regardless you get an A plus for writing this article.
Thank you for sharing this scene with us and I completely share your frustration with how the show's been mishandling the Deeks/Kensei relationship through most of the season. For a time, I thought they were actually going through with them having a romantic relationship, succeeding where NCIS failed with Tony and Ziva. But then they regressed the progress that was being made, putting Deeks and Kensei close to square one.
ReplyDeleteI was devistated to find out about he deleted scene, but the actors covered it up preety well. I am going to trust the actors in what they do as they are very good at what they do and are very creative...now the only problem I see is the inlaw situation but they are professional actors and they can work thru that...either way I adore DENSI..
ReplyDeleteI can't help but wonder if DR's pregnancy had anything to do with it as well as TPTB dragging their feet where Densi is concerned. I know that she was pregnant when they filmed the scene, but still.
ReplyDeletePlease credit people if you use their fan art!
ReplyDeletewhat fan art ? it's just screen caps...
ReplyDeleteFrom the beginning Deeks and Kensi relationship as both personal and professional has revolved around the two flirting and ripping on each other if they take that away it just wont be right. Deeks and Kensi are not Deeks and Kensi without that and they cant go back to that without the show getting them together. There the reason I watch the show in the first place. After the episode Three Hearts I was mad. No way Deeks can just drop what they have just like that when Kensi was all he could think about while he was being tortured. I’m just glad on the last episode they left the door open and as long as there working on it I’ll keep watching. If the show don’t get them together then I’ll be done with the show.
ReplyDeleteNicely written article. But it doesn't really change my personal feelings that this relationship has ruined the show for me. I watched two episodes after the dinner scene and then just let eps languish on my DVR. I watched the season finale and the whole jealousy thing annoyed me so much I deleted all of the eps from my DVR and removed the scheduled recording.
ReplyDeleteHa ha thank you! I had to do it. I feel the same way as you and realized a lot of people did. Thanks so much for your comments! I appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comments. I couldn't have said it better myself. When shows/writers change their minds mid-stream, the fans notice and feel it! "Mishandling the Deeks/Kensi relationship" is a great way to put it. It did seem like they were going through with the romantic relationship and then "regressed the progress," just like you said. I hate being back at square one. Thanks so much for weighing in!
ReplyDeleteYes, the actors did cover it up pretty well. You never would have known that scene existed. They did a good job of following the leads of the writers. They are indeed very good at what they do. Thanks for making a great point! And thanks for your comments.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Interesting thought. Hadn't thought of that. You never know, you could be right! And on a funny side note, I was always trying to see if DR looked pregnant on the show and she never did! Don't know how she hid it so well. She was tiny. :) Thanks for your comments.
ReplyDeleteOh shoot, that's a bummer. But I understand where you're coming from. I'm curious - what part of the relationship ruined the show for you? The fact that it didn't go anywhere and was frustrating (and the jealousy annoying... I understand that) - or did you not like them together? (I don't ever assume as some aren't Densi shippers.) The show definitely languished for me, too. It almost felt like the powers that be couldn't decide what to do with Densi and went in a weird direction. I'm hoping they have a clearer direction this season but you never know. Are you done or plan to watch any of season 6?
ReplyDeleteI know exactly where you're coming from. You're so right - the two flirting and ripping on each other is like the essence of the characters together - and not just personally but professionally. They wouldn't be the same without that and it's definitely so much harder to show that in this awkward place they've been in lately. In fact, I think you may be right that they can't really go back to that now without getting them together. And that's the fun of them! (They also were what really drew me to the show initially.)
ReplyDeleteLike you, I also was really mad after Three Hearts and felt like Deeks wouldn't act like that. It just felt wrong. But I was also happy to see they left the door open. I love seeing how other fans feel about these things so thanks for commenting. I appreciate it. It's great to commiserate with other fans! :)
As usual, awesome insight, Tonya! Here are a few of my thoughts:
ReplyDelete“[The love scene] was created and then wiped from existence – and then served on a platter to taunt Densi fans as a surreal dream that’s nothing more than a DVD extra.” << THIS.
“So what do you want to do?” << Not that I expected anything less from Deeks, but it made me happy to see his respect and restraint here. Perhaps I’m reading too much into it, but that was my takeaway. This was always going to be Kensi’s call, as I believe it should be.
“They [the writers & producers] had teased the audience in ‘Recovery’ and then opted to play out the characters’ fears instead of having them act on their feelings… They have chosen to leave that chapter ambiguous and open-ended for now.”
^^^ I still think they were intimate after leaving the restaurant, and I certainly hope the powers that be don’t back down from the majority of the fans’ suppositions. Not to minimize the minority of fans’ feelings about the mystery of that scene, but let’s be realistic here. These two characters are adults with normal desires, and after years of titillation it would be naive to think they didn’t have sex. Their uncertainty about whether or not that was a good idea is completely within the bounds of what’s normal when an adult relationship goes from platonic to intimate. I mean, who hasn’t been there?
“They apparently contemplated moving [the relationship] forward and then decided against it, instead choosing to make the characters too nervous to make the leap. To me, the way that decision was implemented felt forced and manipulative and not authentic to the characters…”
^^^ Yes! As I just said, whether or not you believe Kensi and Deeks were intimate, their behavior the morning after felt realistic; that is UNTIL the writers decided to ungracefully change direction at such a critical juncture. The final few episodes of the season felt like a kludge of irrelevant, clunky scenes between Kensi and Deeks (and even Hetty).
Season 5’s action scenes were good overall, but the sudden shifting of gears in the last handful of episodes felt stilted. I was disappointed when potentially great scenes were surrounded by such weak character development of our beloved characters. That being said, I’ll take whatever crumbs the writers throw at the audience (because I’m easy).
Even though the scene wound up on the cutting room floor, I love that they finally had the guts to show those two kissing deeply. It made sense not to have lingering make out sessions in “Neighborhood Watch” and “Descent,” considering the circumstances surrounding both encounters, but I’d still like to see a tad more action (and I don’t mean car explosions). :-) Recent aggravation aside, I’ve always been sweetly frustrated by Densi’s PG-rated kisses when compared with Deeks’ steamy scene with Nicole in “Plan B.” Kensi’s the love of his life, right? It’s about time for a little tongue, yo!
At first I thought the directors chose restrain the sexy times because Daniela Ruah and Eric Christian Olsen are in-laws. I’m relieved the writers treat the two actors as the professionals they obviously are. Unlike the characters they portray, DR and ECO can separate professional from personal like adults. Hopefully that foreshadows a future with some R-rated fun. After all, the later time slot allows for a bit more hanky-panky, which makes all three of my hearts go pitter patter.
Keep up the great work, Tonya. Your reviews are the best!
I completely understand your feelings and won't try to change your mind. I'm pretty sure most fans (including myself) were disappointed by the last part of Season 5. However, watching the episodes you skipped might have made the finale a little less lame for you—I know it did for me (not that an audience doesn't deserve better than "a little less lame"). Having struggled through the last part of the season, I was left with guarded optimism that the show will be stronger in Season 6. For what it's worth.
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing this deleted footage, I wonder if the show intends to explore a personal relationship between Kensi and Deeks any more. It's implied in the scene were Kensi leads Deeks from the restaurant table that these two are acting on the physical attraction they have for each other. The deleted bedroom scene, however, changes the entire context of the restaurant scene and their relationship. Deeks tells Kensi he is falling in love with her, which is just semantics. Deeks is really saying he is in love with her. Kensi is reciprocating her love for him because she doesn't pull away from Deeks. Kensi is the type of woman who is totally honest and if she didn't feel the same, she wouldn't have continued to be intimate with Deeks. By not airing the bedroom scene, it gives the show leeway to say these two characters explored the attraction they have towards one another, but decided it was best they remain just partners after all. I think that option is off the table if the bedroom scene had been aired because there is no going back to the status quo after love in involved. The show needs to decide once and for all if it will proceed to have Densi explore a personal relationship, or remain partners professionally.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the article, Tonya. I really appreciate this. Goddamn this show it's always going procedural and apparently there is no interest from the writers to give us more Densi. I mean you have no idea how happy I was when they were in the restaurant together, let alone scene like this. I really hope to see more Densi on the next season.
ReplyDeleteI have strong feelings against shows bending to the will of the fans and making a professional relationship into a romantic one. It alters the dynamics of the show in a bad way. The first thing that happened on this specific show was that Deeks lost all professional respect for Kensi and refused to shoot the bad guy holding a gun on her. I had hoped that they were going to take the 'this is why it shouldn't happen' approach to the story but when I watched the season finale that doesn't appear to be what the decided to do. Instead they did an asinine jealousy runner even to the point where Sam and G had to get in on the embarrassment with a 'ooo Deeks is in trouble with his girlfriend' moment.
ReplyDeleteIn general, that kind of change to the fundamental design and dynamic of a show will kill the show. It has on numerous occasions. I can only think of two shows that have handled it well (in terms of acknowledging the relationship) One is Stargate SG1...Jack and Sam didn't move their relationship forward until Jack retired because of the rules. And Flashpoint where the relationship between Jules and Sam was part of the initial design of the storyline when Sam joined the show.
The fact that some fans seem to watch the pilot of a show and start setting up romantic pairings gives me the impression that the idea that many do not believe a woman isn't capable of doing this type of job and be professional; that the job is merely a distraction until the find the right man and do the only thing they're meant to do -- settle down and have babies. I find that subtext insulting.
I will give serious consideration to watching that episode. I hadn't gotten any answers as to what Kensi's mission was all about. I was curious about that.
ReplyDeleteThe show was awesome up until they sent Kensi to Afghanistan. I realize it was necessary to do something with DR being pregnant but it totally hurt the season. Love Densi. Love them together. I feel that deleting that scene was just mean. To all the Densi supporters who needed that scene to solidify it for us. Very frustrating. And when Kensi came back. The uncertainty of it all. Just a bad second half of the season. Felt like 2 different shows.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious if the writers/producers actually intended for Deeks and Kensi to wind up together or if it was unclear until they saw the chemistry. I read somewhere that it was planned, although clearly not from the very beginning of the series, since Eric Christian Olsen didn't appear until later in Season 1 for just a couple of episodes. (I assume that was an audition of sorts.)
ReplyDeleteI also read that they let the actor who played Dom go because his character wasn't working out. Whether it was to make room for a romantic interest is unclear. I'm of the completely unsubstantiated opinion that they probably wanted Kensi and Callen to hook up, but the chemistry wasn't there. I know you hate the love story stuff, but the truth is, a lot of people meet their significant others at work, so the romance thing isn't completely unrealistic.
Your comment got me thinking about whether or not the producers dialed up the Densi in response to the end of the Tony and Ziva romance that was scuttled when Cote de Pablo left NCIS. I wonder if the producers were trying to take the shipper audience over to their time slot. I'm embarrassed to say that's what happened for me, and I'm not proud of that fact.
The thing you said about pairings giving you the impression that a woman isn't capable of doing the job professionally—WOW—I never thought about it that way! The feminist in me is glad I'm using an alias here, because I'm a little ashamed of myself for not recognizing that. To the writers' credit, at least they make Kensi more of a badass than her partner. And I don't feel it makes Deeks look weak or Kensi look like a cartoon superhero (even though we discovered in one of the later episodes of this season that she wears Wonder Woman sports bras).
Well, sorry you're leaving the fandom, because I enjoyed reading your commentary. I hope you enjoy "Spoils of War," if you end up watching it. I might be biased because of the implied love story in this episode, but it's really action-packed, and the entire cast is awesome.
Thank you very much since you write an article is left this, this one the best as always! I simplywas crazy when I saw this scene, how so they cut this flashback of the episode, the scene is amazing, this is the confirmation for all the suppositions on what happened with Densi on that night after the dinner. Oh my god I am very anxious during the beginning of the 6th season to see what it is going to happen!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm in shock this was so great to see but man that's brutal she really didn't have a good time on that mission.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. A lot of people meet their spouses on the job. The difference is that in fields where life and death situations come up (police, military, etc.) one part of the couple has to transfer to another unit. They are not allowed to continue to work together. And that scene where Deeks refused to shoot when Kensi told him to is high on the list of why. I don't believe that the plan was to put Deeks and Kensi together had been in the plan from day one they would have had story prepared to deal with the fall out in place and it's seemed as though the writers were winging it a bit. They handled Sam and his wife's relationship in a manner that felt well thought out and well rounded. Sam and his Wife worked for different divisions of government service. She gave up her career (or at least an element of it that she loved - and that Sam continued to do) while she was home taking care of the kids. The show dealt with her returning to the field and Sam's reaction. They also touched on Sam's near hysterical reaction to her going into the field and later when she was in trouble. Which, again, is why couples don't work together in this field. Having to keep this on the table of a show that wasn't designed to deal with it alters the fabric of the show. And frequently not in a good way. IMHO
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know you're right. I guess I just like a love story mixed in with the action, even if it's extremely far-fetched.
ReplyDeleteUp to a point you're right, but only up to a point. I was a city police officer in a large metropolitan department and I met my significant other when we were in the same sector. I moved to another sector but he and I were on the same shift and the same division and made calls together for what seemed like eons until one of us got promoted. We never had any issues. He trusted me, I trusted him and nothing occurred to make the command staff separate us any further. I guess it depends on the jurisdiction, the department, the command staff, etc. It can work. I have no issue with Kensi and Deeks being together and working together, but even if I didn't know personally that it would and could work, I am perfectly able to suspend belief when watching a television show or reading a book or seeing a movie. No police-related show is real anyway--it would bore the viewer to death if it were. I can only think of three that have come close: Hill Street Blues, Homicide, and Barney Miller. I am Team Densi all the way and have no problems with the writers taking it a bit slower as long as the two end up permanently together at some point during the run of the show.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the realistic insight. It's really appreciated. I know it can work, if it's written well. Flashpoint did a great job.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know I wasn't the only one looking and thinking about that! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love all your analysis! You make great points. (BTW, I totally agree with you about the implication of them leaving the restaurant table together and acting on their attraction. I was surprised when I found out some others didn't feel that had happened. But I did.) I can see how you would wonder if the show now intends to explore a personal relationship any more. It's the natural follow-up question to seeing the deleted footage. And I think you're right that by not airing the bedroom scene, it does indeed give the show leeway to say these two characters explored the attraction and decided to remain just partners. I am really hoping that's not the case! But it does leave them with that option if they choose it. (And you're so right - that option would be off the table if that scene had aired.) I don't know if I'm being too hopeful in thinking they will still explore it but when I added in how the rest of the season went (which was rocky, I admit), I felt that the show didn't get them together but also left the door open for it to still happen. So I don't know if the powers that be can't make up their mind or just wanted to string things out longer. Either way, I am with you - they need to decide once and for all if they are exploring a personal relationship or remaining partners professionally. I hate the indecision and yo-yo-ing. :) Loved your comments. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I know, I wish the show was a little less procedural, too. Like you, I want more Densi. :) I hope it happens in this next season, too. Let's keep our fingers crossed! Thanks so much for your great comments.
ReplyDeleteHa ha you're so right. Everyone is focusing on the bedroom scene so much that no one is talking about the horrible brutal time she had on the mission. Awful! Thanks for your comments. Loved your perspective.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Catarina! I was crazy when I saw the scene, too! I know - can you believe they cut it?! And that's what I thought, too - that it confirmed all the suppositions of what happened with Densi after dinner that night. I know, it also gets me anxious for the 6th season! It can't come soon enough. Now I can't wait. Great to hear from you! Thanks for your comments. Always love them. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your comments, thanks for leaving them. I totally agree with you! Deleting the scene did feel mean, didn't it? And frustrating. And the season definitely changed when Kensi went to Afghanistan. To me also, the second half of the season was not as good. It just didn't feel coherent and decisive and like you say - uncertain. Everything had changed unexpectedly and it was too weird. I am hoping for a better season 6! Hoping, hoping, hoping.... :)
ReplyDeleteHello! I hope that the producers decide to give an advancement in the relation of Kensi and Deeks in next season, because it already tires to see that they love each other but they are still separated to, They are so pretty like a couple. Ahh, I forgot of commenting on the torture of Kensi in Afghanistan, it was very bad what she passed, but it was so good to realize what about like when Deeks was being tortured he thought about Kensi, now she was tortured andshe thought about him. So be seen even well that they love each other!! It excuses for my English, but as I am a Portuguese and am not fluent in English there are many mistakes in my writing.
ReplyDeleteNo worries about the English, I understand what you're saying. I had forgotten about Deeks thinking about Kensi when he was tortured. Love the symmetry of her also thinking about him during her awful torture. It definitely shows their connection/love, doesn't it? Thanks for drawing the parallel!
ReplyDeleteTotally second ileenieweenie that you should consider watching "Spoils of War." It really was a great episode. Deeks had stuff going on separate from Kensi - and Callen had a nice side story, too. :)
ReplyDeleteActually in the rest of the season (which frustrated Densi fans) the characters actually kept giving reasons why the relationship shouldn't happen. First Kensi would give them, then Deeks, and back and forth. So you might have liked what others didn't. But at the same time, they kept toying with it so the scenes felt indecisive. So maybe you wouldn't have liked it. The jealousy aspect in the finale, though, was definitely forced (and some felt was a bone thrown to the Densi fans). If my memory serves me right, I think I remember you previously commenting on how cheesy it was and I agree. It really was. (Even though it was a little fun at the same time for those who like Kensi/Deeks.) But the show did still leave the relationship possibility open. So I'm guessing they will revisit it in season 6, whether they go forward or not. They just never decided and limbo is hard for fans because people on both sides get upset.
ReplyDeleteA personal relationship does alter the dynamics of a show, though, I'll give you that. If the writers do it well, I believe changing a relationship to personal can be successful. But the writers don't always do it well. I haven't seen Stargate or Flashpoint to know those ones. But I feel like the longer the writers drag it out, sometimes it can be very detrimental.
BTW, I like that you find the idea insulting that women are just trying to settle down and have babies and jobs are just a distraction until then. Though I don't think that getting in a relationship with a co-worker necessarily means that's all they want. I guess to me I can see how the woman would want the meaningful relationship and also the great job, and the two can be separate from each other and not implied by the romantic pairing. But that's me and you see it differently. :)
I've loved hearing your thoughts! Thanks for all your comments. Fun to discuss everything with you! I'll miss it if you stop watching. :)
What you say at the beginning of your post is EXACTLY what I have always (since I have followed and liked NCIS LA) wondered myself: did the writers/producers pre-plan the Densi situation in the storyline of the series (two co-workers falling in love and dealing with the issues deriving from crossing this line) or did it just come to their minds when they saw the astonishing chemistry ECO and DR had on screen (which no one can deny even if they are in-laws...)?
ReplyDeleteI think it's more than a little likely it's a culmination effect. Over the last 5 years, it has gotten to a point where EVERY TIME...and for a change I mean that literally...EVERY TIME a male and female character have a good solid platonic relationship some fans start 'shipping' them as a couple. That's why I have begun to get the feeling that I have about what that attitude says about professional women...especially in shows where the women are playing tradition male action roles.
ReplyDeleteThe hemming and hawing can be traced back to two shows that have left industry executives gun shy. Moonlighting and Lois and Clark. If a show decided to take the shot and turn a partnership into a relationship the network balks. Lois and Clark still holds the record (I think) of being the ONLY show to drop from top ten to be bottom of the barrel in one season. I'd put money that that's more to blame than the writers. If the showrunner on this show isn't going to commit one way or the other...the fans of this paring will never be happy.
If you look at Bones and Castle it took forever for them to get the networks to buy off on getting their leads together. Castle was even designed with a strong RomCom element. Okay I have to get dressed for work.
I HOPE they don't put them together. But, then again, I thought it was rather evident that something had happened when Deeks couldn't "take the shot" when the guy had the gun to Kensi. After separating them, it made them think about how being "together" would screw up them being partners.
ReplyDeleteUnless they do exactly as they did for Tiva ... (worst scenario of course ;) )
ReplyDeleteTHey are so cute, i need more Densi love scenes!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey do have amazing chemistry, don't they? It would be a shame to waste it on just a friendship. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you! Incredible waste of great potential if the producers decided to focus only on the characters' friendship...
ReplyDeleteSorry for the delay in responding. I'm so glad you remind me that she wore the same shirt the next day. That's a dead giveaway that something happened. Total proof! (And you're so right - that's a rookie move that Kensi would never make because Sam and Callen wouldn't miss that and tease her forever!)
ReplyDeleteI know others who feel like you. And the characters are definitely worrying about their partnership being affected. But I like your point that it does seem to imply something happened when Deeks couldn't "take the shot." I guess we'll have to wait to see what happens. Either way it looks like some fans will be disappointed since not everyone agrees. Thanks for your comments.
ReplyDeleteNo, I hope not! That WOULD be worst scenario. :)
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't know about this. I like the scene, but that would've jumped things I think. It also creates that deception of we don't know where Kensi is in the beginning, and it's pretty clear that they have feelings for each other already and who knows what they did that night before Frozen Lake. I'm probably in the minority here in saying that they are handling this just fine. They've said that they're exploring the romantical (???) side of the relationship in season 6 so I guess we'll all find out!
ReplyDeleteYES YES YES the writers need to keep this storyline moving forward! These two have so much on-screen chemistry it would be a shame if it doesn't keep going.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree!!! :)
ReplyDeleteCould it be that just as Deeks used memories and thoughts of Kensi to escape torture that she did the same? That what was in the deleted scene was more what she hoped to hear when they meet up again rather than what had already happened? Giving her the strength to cope with the circumstance she was in and therefore a reason to survive?
ReplyDeleteSure didn't seem like that but since we got no real context, anything is possible! I would say it's not real probable - but it's possible. :)
ReplyDelete
