If you pause in just the right place during the pre-credits snippet, you can see handprints from where the set dressers patted the snow into place for the kid to brush aside. Oopsie. Another oopsie is when Ducky pulls the second body tray out. He pulls it too far, so that when the camera pans around so you get Gibbs and Ducky in the same frame, you ( Read more... )

The actor playing Kody is great. I say that a lot about the guest stars on this show, because it's true. The actor was 21 at the time, but really gave the feel of a persecuted 15 year old who missed his mom ( Read more... )

Does Tony say his father's sixth wife? Or just ex-wife? It's never actually established how many times Senior has been married, except it has to be at least seven (Tony has mentioned his mother, stepmothers two and four, Karen, Phoebe and Tony's godmother ( Read more... )

His experience shows in the way he cuts Ziva off before she can let out too much information ( Read more... )

Another one I like a lot, except for the very end, when Tony is whining. Third time Tony goes missing. First time Ziva goes missing ( Read more... )

Don't remember too much of this one going in. I guess it didn't make much impression ( Read more... )

This is another one I find hard to watch. Poor McGee, just when he's finding his feet and his confidence, this had to happen. As with Tony, his teammates gather round to support him ( Read more... )
