    Madeline Carroll plays very good!

    I am a steady fan of NCIS since season 3. Madeline Carroll's play attracts me, which I think outstanding. She just looks so smart and quick-tempo in her role that I'd like to give my first review to this particular Role Angela in this particular episode. I would keep my attention to her her performance in other films.

    For the main roles of NCIS, they just keep their best performance of their characters as usual. This is a good film that definitely deserves another new season.

    Now in Taiwan, two TV stations plays Season 10 and Seaosn 7, respectively. I wish one day those main actors and actresses can come to visit Taiwan.

      The poem, that is written in code by Angela Kelp, reads like this: "He Wanted To Kill Her, But She Fought Him Well; Held Her Under The Water, Until Her Body Was Still; He Wanted To Love Her, So Why Did He Kill?"

      When Ducky comes out of the lab into the hallway and takes a left. Gibbs comes around the corner from down the hallway-behind Ducky and says "Hey." However, he says this before he could have seen Ducky. Ducky responded to the "Hey" and turned to meet Gibbs. The voice does not sound like Gibbs, nor is "Hey" something his character would normally say. The assumption is that this may have been inserted in editing by someone else doing the voice over.

      Gregg Norvell: She'll miss.

      Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [to Angela] What's the probability of that?

      Angela Kelp: Based on the temperature and humidity. No wind. Half-moon. Good light. 97.6%.

      Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Last chance Norvell.

      Gregg Norvell: Move or I'll do it.

      Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Take it!
