This is a good episode if you're bored with guns. A good old spear gun

Trivia
The Elements Song was written by Tom Lehrer, who wrote many excellent comic songs. And the tune used by Lehrer is the Major General's song from Pirates of Penzance, one of many very different comic baritone songs written by Gilbert and Sullivan.

Goofs
(at around 52 mins) Abby says "It could be hidden in a secret partition of RAM" after thinking about checking the laptop rather than its disk image for the password. RAM memory in modern computers is seldom partitioned at all, but consists of a constant pool. Also RAM memory is volatile (it loses data when powered off) and the laptop had presumably been turned off for several hours at that point. Although it is possible to recover pieces of data from RAM memory after considerable time without power, Abby would have had a hell of a day figuring out which pieces are relevant, how they are coded, and what has already evaporated.

Quotes
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [seeing Shepard and Flynn walking towards Gibbs and Mann] Uh-oh... hoh, train wreck. I wanna to look away, but I CAN'T!
