    One of the great things about NCIS is that they load up each season with episodes. We are due 25 this year. Most shows have 22, many even less, due to various reasons. But the result of that is some episodes are a little low on entertainment; this would explain tonight's penultimate episode.

    They tried to do too much (tease Ziva's loyalty being elsewhere, tracking a killer, having Gibbs have conflict) and the result was a lot of scenes that just lacked substance and that hooking and clever NCIS writing.

    Hopefully the season finale is great, but this did not set my expectations too high.moreless

    This was definitely a very intense and interesting episode of NCIS, on many fronts. Firstly, the case was exceptional, especially with all the heads of all the agencies involvesd in it.

    I also though t that the new ICE agent that was introduced was quite interesting, mainly with her interactions with Gibbs and McGee, but even with Abby and the rest of the team.

    I also thought the scenes between Tony DiNozzo and Michael Rivkin were very interesting, and it heated pup into an amazing climax. There was a lot of suspense in that last scene, and I couldn't believe that I had just scene that scene!

    Anyways, I would highly recommend this episode, and I really can't wait for the season finale. Great work guys, an d this episode is yet another example of why this show is so great!moreless

    The NCIS team is forced to team up with FBI and ICE after the death of an ICE agent who was doing protection detail for a inter-agency conference. Evidence leads Tony to believe Rivkin's involved and his realtionship with Ziva hits a turning point.
    What can I say? I couldn't move my eyes off the screen for the whole episode! Well written, portrayed even better, definitely one of the best of the whole season.
    Finally Tony and Ziva are completely the main interest of the show; it'll be great to see how they're gonna deal with the events of this episode in the season finale. This is one of the best storylines I've ever seen; and it keeps getting better!moreless

    but I'm glad I was wrong. Well, actually I must have been in another dimension. And I'm glad the season will actually get to end in true NCIS form. BIG!
    Tony takes charge...well, until he doesn't. Ziva is human...well until next episode...maybe. And Gibbs...well Gibbs will save the day...whatever thats going to require. I have faith.
    And next season all the characters will be back at NCIS with a fresh new CafPow, and a fresh new outlook on life, love and the pursuit of the NEXT really bad guy.
    I feel if I keep saying this mantra I can actually WILL it to happen this way.
    I told you: another dimension... :o\moreless

    IMO one of the best episodes this season. I loved it when Tony blew that creep Michael Rivkin away. I'm really impressed with how tony managed to subdue Rifkin, even though he had a broken shoulder. I've read that all Israeli military receive Krav Maga training. As a Mossad officer in the field, Rifkin probably would have received advanced training, and Tony still managed to kicked his A$$. Abbey is jealous over the way McGee and ICE Agent Foster were flirting. Poor Abbey, McGee better watch out. I loved the scene where Ducky demonstrated the choke hold that was meant to disable Agent Sherman. And Gibbs amused reaction was absolutely hilarious.moreless

    • GOOF: In Vance's file it states, "Mothis was a member of New York State Board of Education." Presumably this should be, "Mother is/was a member of New York State Board of Enducation." Edit
    • GOOF: When McGee runs the license plate from Director Vance's SUV, he searches for the number in the Washington, D.C. DMV. The SUV clearly has Virginia plates, not D.C. plates. Edit
    • TRIVIA: The Sec-Nav took the file on Vance that Kort gave Gibbs in episode "Broken Bird." Edit

    • Abby: The bug stomp. Classic movie move. Sounds like a Tony. McGee: Nah. It was a Jules. Abby: A Jules? What is a Jules? I'm going to have a word with this Jules if we ever have the good fortune of meeting. McGee: I'd like to be here for that. Edit
    • Ziva: Michael is here to see me. He is not working. He is on vacation. Tony: Well, he certainly is drinking like it. Edit
    • Abby: (referring to the bug Agent Foster-Yates stepped on) Are you often in the habit of destroying evidence, Jules? Agent Foster-Yates: Beg your pardon?! Abby: You should, actually, because I'm the one responsible for reconnecting and reactivating all of those extremely delicate pieces of electronics. Agent Foster-Yates: You can do that? Abby: Of course I can. Agent Foster-Yates: Then what's the problem? Abby: You probably know some kind of martial arts or something, huh? Agent Foster-Yates: When I was in high school, my mother was the ambassador to Bangkok. I fell in love with Muay Thai. Abby: So if I tried to scratch your eyes out, you could probably break my fingers? Agent Foster-Yates: That would be a mistake. You need your fingers to fix that bug. Edit
