This is also kind of why I don't really get the whole dom!Tim/sub!Tony stuff. I started watching nearly from the beginning, and in the early seasons, Tony was a genuinely confident character. Sure he sought approval a little bit, but only from Gibbs and nowhere near to the extent he does in later seasons. He was confident, capable and independent. McGee however, was incredibly nervous, boyish and clumsy.
Logically, I can see how people can see Tim being more dominant given how recent characterisations on the show come across (particularly season 7) but I still think of the characters very much in their original styles, even nostalgically prefer them.
Of course, this is getting way off topic now, lol!
While I'm roaming off-topic-land, I may as well ask, does anyone know of any fanfictions, that examine the changing natures of the characters of the show over the seasons? I would find that a very interesting read.
