A fun episode!

I'm not that great with reviews but I thought I'd leave one for this episode. It was fun and interesting. A man found dead with only half his body burned from a jetpack that exploded. We find out that McGee is slightly obsessed with jetpacks and won't shut up about it. Then try to interrogate a suspect only to have a new lawyer interfere like they usually do but this one is worse. Ms. Hart is probably the most irritating human being in this show aside from Dalilah who I also annoys me. It's not easy for me to watch any episode that Rena Sofer guest stars. She makes me want to literally scratch my eyes out. There may have been some unexplainable attraction between her and Gibbs but I don't care, she's annoying and one of the worst characters on the show. Other than my hate for her, I really did enjoy this episode.

Trivia
When the NCIS team is looking at the "mug shot" for lawyer Allison Hart, it says in the fine print she works for a firm called "Wolfram, Hart", an in-joke by the writer no doubt. Jesse Stern, who used to be David Greenwalt's assistant on the series ANGEL, which featured an evil law firm of the same name, wrote this episode.

Goofs
When discussing the propellants used by the jet-pack, McGee states that the use of Hydrogen Peroxide and Kerosene as fuels is highly unusual. This mix of fuels was used extensively by the British between 1955 and 1971 for a number of very successful rockets, culminating in the Black Arrow space launch vehicle.

Quotes
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [Speaking of a lawyer] Oh, acts like she hates me, but... she talks like she... likes me.
Dr. Donald Mallard: Ever been married to her?
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [Chuckles] Yeah, that would explain it, wouldn't it?
