I'm with you about those who don't think this episode didn't have enough Tiva. What show were they watching? If they can't accept it's going very slowly, and it bothers them, they should just give it up. GG had me convinced it would be like Pyramid with none at all. Well played Mr. G. I've always said I want to be totally unspoiled when Tiva happens. Seems like you get that!
We all point out the plot holes - Tiva taking the elevator, McGee backing up his files on a thumb drive when surely his files are on a server not even in that building, Abby taking her time leaving the lab. But if our characters didn't make mistakes, there wouldn't be any drama. So I can get over that stuff for a good story.
It is cool of GG to carry over the idea that rain and storms in an NCIS episode always means tragedy. Don Bellesario started that, and what a nice tribute to continue it. We saw it when Gibbs was in a coma, when Mike Franks died and I'm sure there are other times. I knew it wasn't good when Ducky was watching that bad storm roll in!
Michael, Pauley, Brian and Rocky live tweeting during the episode made it an absolute joy to watch. They distracted me, but I knew I could watch it again to catch the finer points. Who knew I would be rewinding the last two minutes over and over?
One last thing and definitely not criticism because I know English is not your 1st language (even though yours is superb). A couple of words are spelled incorrectly above. Phonetically correct, but not technically.

I was way too tired last night/this morning to take in your comment, so let me come back today and say thank you. I haven't watched the earlier seasons enough/intensely enough to realize Bellisario started the rain = bad things analogy. Neat! I love that they continued that!

Cheasy should be Cheesy
Buket should be Bouquet
