We’re two weeks away from the debut of Bishop and "NCIS" fans everywhere are already generating opinions about Emily Wickersham’s character before she debuts. I’ve decided to do the same. Here’s my wishlist for when NSA Analyst Eleanor “Elle” Bishop finally hits the small screen:
No. 1—The Father/Daughter Relationship
As a Ziva fan it’s hard to say this but I think a father/daughter relationship between Bishop and Gibbs needs to happen. I’m not sure if I want this but a personal relationship such as this one could provide that family element that makes "NCIS" so great. No doubt it would take a lot of time for a relationship like this to develop.
No. 2—McGee and Bishop, eventually
Here’s how this should go. When Bishop first arrives on Gibbs' team, there doesn’t need to be sparks with anyone. Bishop needs to ease her way into the team and go through the usually “probee” treatment. However, from what I know, Bishop and McGee may be great together. If Gary Glasberg and his team decide to put them in a relationship, hopefully they learn from the drawn out experience that was “Tiva”.
No. 3—Bishop saves the day
I can’t wait for the episode in which Bishop really proves herself. She will impress someone early on to end up on Team Gibbs. However, she ‘s going to have to prove her stripes as an official member of Gibbs’ group.
