Yes, they fill the same slot and look kind of sort of the same, but you have to think of them as totally separate characters. Not a direct replacement.
I like Ziva much more than I did kate. She’s toughbut not constantly nasty bitchy like I found Kate, and if there is one quality that makes a woman repulsive to me, it’s that bitchy streak like Kate constantly showed.
bttt
I was not happy when Cassidy got written out.
I don’t like women that try to out man men. Kate, attitude aside, was all female, Ziva tries to hard to be a man and she is not build to pull it off ;)
