Would Things Have been Different If...

The million dollar question would things have been different if Daniela wasn't pregnant. Would Kensi still be with the team or would she have been sent away. While it might seem as if the story is directly linked to Daniela's pregnancy, but what if it's not. I don't claim to know anything that happens behind the scenes, but what I do know is what is said in interviews. Here me out there on why I believe this was going to come whither or not Daniela was pregnant or not. Shane Brennan, while some get frustrate and annoyed, has this way of putting things into the show and they always have a reason. Nine times out of ten it always comes back, not right away but it does come back. Two examples are Kensi and her fathers death and the never ending story of Callen.

For Kensi's fathers death it was mentioned in Season One and then you really didn't get another good look at that storyline until Season Three. While that chapter is now closed, it opened up this door for Kensi. You got to see what drove her to join NCIS, you got to see Kensi has more secrets that others don't know about her, and you got to meet her mother. So it's like you get to see Kensi in this new light because there is for more to her, then you first thought. With Callen, he's been trying to figure out who he is, who is parents are and what his name is. This current season, Season Five, you got to meet this guy who said he was Callen's father, only he wasn't. He was someone that Callen's father had asked to look after Callen and make sure he was okay. In the process you learned about two things that happened in Season One and Season Two. The first being that Callen had found a small note book that had a list of all his foster homes, Nate realized it was written by the same person. The second was after Callen found out he had a sister and she was dead before he knew, when he was visiting her grave someone was there taking pictures of him. When Callen chased after this person, they ran away and got into a car and drove off. Now you find out it was this guy and this helped Callen lead him to find out more about his family and about his father.

So while some might be saying this is unexpected and why did this have to happen. Maybe we should all be thinking what is this going to bring. When you watch a show you can almost tell a storyline has been changed because of an actresses pregnancy. While completely different genres, one is Soap Opera's or Daytime Dramas. While I won't say it's 100% confirmed, but it almost seemed as if Charmed had changed their storyline for Season Six around because of Holly's Pregnancy. At the end of Season Five Chris banishes Leo off somewhere, and then in Season Six Chris turns out to be Leo and Piper's son. While what they did was able to make sense and turn out to be a great storyline, it just almost didn't feel like they wanted it to go that direction at first. Or maybe that is just how I had seen it.

Last Season, Season Four, we got a moment that was almost like Hetty was saying she approved at Kensi and Deeks, only for her to spilt up the team now in Season Five after Kensi and Deeks finally get together. What if this has nothing to do with Kensi and Deeks at all, it just happened to come at the wrong time. What if this has everything to do with Kensi. This show is about NCIS Undercover Special Agents and sometimes they need to go undercover for a long time. We didn't get to see Sam undercover assignment until things had gone bad, but we got to see that he was working a big case that took months. This could be one of those assignments that is going to take months to accomplish and we were supposed to see it, or maybe not but either way work out because they needed to write out Kensi for a little bit. Kensi has been said to have been wanted by just about every agency out there, but chose NCIS. So maybe that is why Hetty picked her, because she knew Kensi was the best for the job. Where as Sam has a family to worry about, Callen has to lead the team, Nell isn't really an agent and Deeks is the LAPD Liaison officer so he's not really an Agent either. When it comes down to it Kensi is the only one who be good for the job, not to say it's because she doesn't have anyone, because she now has Deeks. It's just she doesn't have a husband and kids, or a team that she needs to lead.

There is always rhyme and reasoning because everything Hetty does and Shane does. That is why I feel this was bound to come one way out another. Even before Daniela told us the fans about her pregnancy we heard spoilers of a team member leaving at the end of the season. Right now we don't have much to go on, the only thing we as fans have is that it's been said a team member is leaving, not a team member will be killed. Plus the season finale of Season Four was written more then likely before Daniela said she was pregnant, maybe the episode too. Like I said I have no inside knowledge, but if this was the case then Kensi and Deeks was going to be a thing this season anyways. I think Shane might have mentioned that too in an interview. I guess maybe I'm not making a good enough point and maybe rambling on, but just trying to get at is that It just doesn't feel like this wasn't in the plans. Maybe a few things were changed around, but feel this is how the writers wanted it or at least where heading to this at some point. I don't want to see Kensi go, I know there will be a great story waiting for her when she returns to our screens.
