    I hesitated, because I seriously wanted to give this episode a perfect score... But, perfection isn't possible, is it?
    Anyhow, I thought this was an amazing episode: action, intrigue, angst, friendship... All put nicely in one episode. With a bow on top. The acting was top notch, from the hesitancy between Tony and Ziva, to Tony's frustration (damn that Michael Weatherly)
    It was nice to see some humor too, and McGee's concern about and belief in Abby was truly endearing. I personally think there were a lot of interesting twists in this episode and it proves again what a truly fascinating (and well-written) show NCIS is.moreless

    i loved this episode so much, i mean seriously how they end up in the war game, and they get to be the evil ones for once. I also love the ending where the team is sitting in the teams room and there talking about how she will never get out of interigation alive, and then she just walks out and there like WTF?

    oh and when Gibbs is in the back of her car and he's like all slumped in the seat and he's like "Looks like were working together" that was such a good line for the end of that episode.

    And Abby how cite was she when she was like talking to McGee in Interigation and he was like "i know you wouldn't do this Abby, you love NCIS, you wouldn't betray Gibbs, you love your lab you wouldn't risk losing your lab" and the she tells him whats happening and he kisses her on the cheek, its just so cute!moreless

    This was yet another in a long line of sensational episodes. Everything about this episode was incredible, and there is absolutely no reason NOT to watch this one!

    The storyline was incredibly interesting, and I hope that this story will be reasolvesd soon, as it is becoming incredibly interesting.

    I was quite surprised and shocked at several points throughout this episode, especially when Vance tested Abby's hands. I was in disbelief, but they did really well to develop the storyline, and I was left on the edge of my seat throughout the whole episode.

    Overall, an episode that I would highly recommend. Keep it up NCIS, because this storylien id incredibly interesting, and I absolutely can not wait to see what happens next!moreless

    I must honestly say that I was confused for most of this episode. My mind was just not into it... I figured out that Abby was working for Gibbs - I knew that she would never be a traitor (but how cool and unexpected would it be if she was a traitor...) Anyways, I thought that Gibbs plan was to test the security...well I was wrong about that. I love how all of the characters reacted to the plan. Tony and Ducky were furious, but once they understood where Gibbs was coming from they were ok with it. McGee reacting to Abby was priceless. Overall, a great character episode and finally solving the mole storyline - well, not quite yet.moreless

  • Good storyline, a repeated scene very poorly written/designed

    Good episode, except for a really annoying thing. *Spoiler alert* Abbey locks her lab (very unlike her), and as a result three characters goto open the door and bang their noses on the door. Hehe. Funny stuff, if only it were possible. *geek alert*. Abbeys door opens outwards into the hallway. If it opened inwards and was locked then the momentum of the person trying to enter would carry them into the door. For an outwards opening door the person trying to enter has to pull the door towards them, and therefore STEP BACK to enter. Impossible to bang your face under those circumstances. Do the writers never use doors? Or were the prop guys too lazy to change the way the door opened (considering it has never been locked before, it seems unlikely that someone would raise a continuity error against them). I really enjoyed the episode, but just found the THREE times that this "joke" happened to be a bit annoying. Sad, but there you go.moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • TRIVIA: Cote de Pablo does her own stunts for NCIS regularly, and this resulted in her actually getting hurt by gun barrel in this episode. Edit
    • GOOF: The way the scene was edited, if you watch it in standard play, it appears that Tony gets hit with the butt of the gun. However, if you freeze frame each shot, you can clearly see the butt hitting the cabinet and not Tony, otherwise the butt of the gun wouldn't be covering the side of Tony face. Edit
    • TRIVIA: In the scene between Ducky, Gibbs and Tony taking place in autopsy you can repeatedly see the schematics of CERN's particle accelerators on a plasma screen in the background. CERN is the European center for nuclear research based on the border between Switzerland and France. They made global headlines in fall 2008 when their lately installed particle-accelerator LHC (Large Hadron Collider), the largest and most complex machine built by mankind, was successfully tested for the first time.

    • (Ziva and Tony in the elevator. They're both angry after finding out that they were lied to by Director Vance about their mission) Tony: Didn't we get our fill of secret agendas and lying and manipulation during the previous administration? Ziva: Look, I too had hoped things would be different by now. Tony: I'd like to go up and give Vance a piece of my mind. Ziva: The way you're losing it, I don't think you have enough to spare. Tony: I'd like to take that toothpick of his and shove it up the SecNav's cigar. Ziva: You have had enough of this job then? Tony: I like the job. I don't like the politics. I wasn't kidding about that part earlier. Edit
