    IMO...

    My personal favorite episode.

    The absolute BEST episode of the ENTIRE series!

    (And as of this review, NCIS is up to 421 episodes midway through season 19)

    A unique and enjoyable episode.

    This show is so versatile! I love how they gave this season premiere episode it's own unique voice. (Made all the better in that the 'voice' belonged to -very- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo.) They left us to hang over the summer hiatus, worrying for Ziva's safety, and this episode manages to extend and increase that worry. But as always, the team pulls together and manages to make things all work out. My one complaint is that there wasn't enough of Abby and Ducky, I know they're meant to be supporting characters, but nevertheless they add such depth and colour to the show. All in all, an excellent premiere episode, I can't wait to see more!

    The Best NCIS Episode

    .... It had everything. Drama. Emotions. Tears. Sarcasm. Made me laugh out loud. Made me feel alive. Like truly alive. It's been a while since I've seen a movie or a tv show that can reach out into the depths of my soul and stirr something within.

    I wish they made these type of stories again. Story-telling used to be so much better, I don't know what happened nowadays but I can't for the sake of me feel connected to most actors whenever I watch a movie or a show. Perhaps the world has changed and I'm still an old-fashion (humanoid) - or perhaps them - the creators and directors should go back to the basics? Aka not reviving old brilliant movies but creating new ones that can grip any human in any century. Anywayz... cheers to whoever created this episode <3 - it brought a lot of happiness to my life :)

    • Trivia
      The Israeli children's song that Abby and McGee sing, "Chad Gadya," is real, originally in Aramaic and is sung at the end of Passover seders. The story is literally of a goat that was eaten by a cat which was bitten by a dog which was hit by a stick which was burned by fire which was extinguished by water which was drunk by an ox which was slaughtered by a Shohet (slaughterer) who was killed by the Angel of Death who was was killed by God.

      Tony explains to Ziva that when he fails to report in word would be sent to a carrier group in the Mediterranean who would launch F-22 Raptors to destroy the terrorist camp (with them in it). The F-22 is a land based aircraft only operated by the United States Air Force and is not capable of launching from or landing on Navy aircraft carriers, a plane has to be specially modified to operate from carriers. In 2009 the primary carrier capable fighters used by the Navy were the F/A-18 Hornet & the F/A-18E Super Hornet. It would be reasonable to expect Tony to know this, as he works for the Department of the Navy.
    • Quotes

      NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Well, I told you about the... the brains. I told you about the guts, I told you about the muscle, the scientist, the politician, the leader, I told you about every member of the team, except myself. The part I play.

      Saleem Ulman: Which is?

      NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: I'm the wild card. I'm the guy who looks at the reality in front of him and refuses to accept it. Like right now I should be terrified, right? But I'm not. Because I just can't stop thinking about the movie "True Lies." You know where Arnie's strapped to the chair, shot full of truth serum? Picks his cuffs, and kills everybody? You have 30 seconds to live, Saleem.

      Saleem Ulman: [chuckles] No, you're still bound. You're lying.

      NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: I can't lie. And I didn't say I was going to be the one to kill you. Remember when I told you my boss was a sniper?

      [a bullet flies through window and kills Saleem. Hundreds of yards away, Gibbs looks up from the sights of his rifle]

      NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [over radio] Go.
