I think that what the problem is they see themself as a family and I think that part of the reason why they are scare of going on to better things because their like scare pupplys every time they have to do adult things.
It like Tony said back in season 8 maybe he not cut out to be a cop he could not tell that his buddy was a bad cop he been replace by Mcgee and Ziva as gibbs favroite agent. The guy has no reason to be a NCIS agent

Did you catch the scene by the car with Tony and Borin? She was saying something about being offered her own team. Tony then told her that he was offered his own team a while back. The reason he gave for not leaving is that it's because of the people. He considers all of them friends and would not leave this situation. However, Tony is perfectly capable of his own leadership or he would not have taken over for Gibbs when he was in Mexico. Also Jenny would not have offered him his own team. In the 200th episode which was on CBS last Friday (that's right, Friday) McGee was also offered a leadership position and declined. They are all happy as a team family.

You could be right, michael, but I just think Tony's getting to the age where he knows where he's comfortable, and he feels there's more to life than being a team leader. Gibbs told Jenny one time that when Tony was ready for his own team, Tony would let the whole world know (or words to that effect). He's okay where he's at which is good for us as I don't really want him to leave the team.

@katmandu, well said. It is quite funny to watch ex's ship for Tiva. I am so ready for the two of them to go out on a date already. I think they are inching towards it, just wish it would speed just a tad.

1) (Going with Eric's answer) I love McTony
2) While McGee asking out Borin was totally cringe worthy, I'd have to go with Tony's responce to Borin's question about why he still works under Gibbs. "They can't offer me better people."
3) None that I can think of. Pretty solid episode.
4) While I love her and her character, I think she's a kind of 'once in a while' kind of character. Her biggest flaw is also her biggest attribute: she's a lot like Gibbs. I'd think it's be too much of Gibbsyness for one show to handle.
5) Definitely! Love the Older-younger brother sort of rapport the two have, and it's great to see that every once in a while. Also, thumbs up to the writers (or Weatherly, if he add libbed) for using the nickname 'probie' and 'McGeek' in the same episode!
6) Ziva, she defiantly got the guys, and I applaud her for that!
7) Again, thumbs up for the use of Probie in who knows how long!

Destcribe the episode in 1 word or 2- McTony,
Best quotes or best scenes- is where McGee was asking her out LOL poor McGee
Biggest gripe- who the killer was scrap metal guy
Diane Neal come more often - Yes her character rocks
Should Tony and Tim be partnered up more often. Yes I love them working together they make me laugh they are so funny together and work good with each.

I also think Ducky's cameo as spy was delightful, he's such a great character played by a great actor. Ziva's remark that Tony had his chance was not referring to past romantic moments, it was that he and McGee should have asked her to 'play' with them over the past weekend. Loved Borin and agree she is meshes seamlessly with the team. I am a bit tired of Gibbs' sentimentality about every kid on the show, enough already, we know we know he mourns forever. On the whole, it was a delight and fun-filled episode, I do love this show.
Good one another favorite!!! I dont care what anyone say I love agent borin nring her back any day!!! I love the whole ziva McGee and tim stuff where she was just doing it to get an invite and papa Gibbs of course told them to go fix it love that
Early in that first scene in the squad room, Ziva chides Tony with "you had your chance". Can anybody tell me when there was truly a time when Tony 'had his chance' with her?....and don't tell me in the elevator at the beginning of this season....not even close to 'a chance'!!?

I loved this week. (Not that I don't every week) But it had just the right blend of team funny, a great case going on, and a splash of all the new nuances of season X. The Top Gun references and McGee and Tony bromance was really the icing for this week though. Great stuff!

I wasn't alone in feeling that NCIS had strayed (quite) a bit from its original successful formula found pretty much in seasons 1 thru 4 - too many guest stars, too little from the core cast, too many long running arcs, and more. This season it seems like someone was listening to the fans. So far, it seems more like vintage NCIS is back. More head slapping, McGee, Tony and Ziva all busting eachother, comic banter, more Borin/no Jamie Lee Curtis, (we want more Fornell). Thank you, NCIS producers & writers! So far, so good - and "Lost at Sea" was a great example of your hearing us!

A generally good episode. Borin is more fun than Fornell. There's no need to keep looking for a girlfriend for Gibbs. Borin, I'm afraid, is too smart for the boys and so is Ziva. Tony used to describe the woman he's seeking as beautiful, smart, and professional, but he never chooses that kind. (Except for Jeanne, who was an assignment, after all.)
Franks: Over the years we do some things, some good, some bad. Decisions that help one person can hurt another. Gibbs: Damned if you do. Franks: In the end, ...
