Did you know
- TriviaThe two-part episode sequence Ice Queen (2003) and Meltdown (2003), aired in the spring of 2003, was the back door pilot for NCIS (2003).
- GoofsThe NCIS personnel and JAG prosecutor and JAG defense attorney do not wear ID and visitor passes respectively. Even if they are attorneys , entering an intelligence HQ would require them to sign in.
- Quotes
Special Agent Vivian Blackadder: Good morning, Tony. What are you doing? That investigation's wrapped up.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Is it?
Special Agent Vivian Blackadder: Oh, you're in Gibbs' camp now? "Rabb didn't do it."
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Think outside the FBI box for a sec, Viv. It's too perfect. I'm a cop; it just doesn't sit right.
- Crazy creditsA different typeface is used for the episode credits on the two-part episode Ice Queen (2003) and Meltdown (2003)as this was the pilot for the later series NCIS (2003).

This means that his defence is handed to a Navy LtCdr - Faith Coleman. This was another under-developed character, played with earnest seriousness by Alicia Coppola. The character has been extensively (and accurately) described in Fanfiction as "an anally-retentive with OCD, who cannot start her day without a full box of sharp pencils".
Gibbs and the NCIS team have been pressured to secure a prosecution then get out to the Mediterranean to "crack" a terrorist (this was 2003, remember, with 11/09/2001 fresh in the American memory). With a little time to think, Gibbs tasks Abby Sciuto (who works with the prosecuting Marine Major) and Tony DiNozzo with looking more closely at the evidence which implicated Harm in Loren Singer's alleged murder.
End game; Gibbs cracks the terrorist (in my case, if someone threatened me with wine, I would become a little less accurate during interrogation!) and the terror plot is sunk.
A very youthful-looking Tony DiNozzo uses basic dogged police work and interrogation techniques to uncover (you'll understand the pun if you know Navy terminology!) the real killer (with an effective flashback to Loren Singer's death)
Everyone lives happily ever after - in the case of "JAG", for another two seasons and, in the case of "NCIS" up until today (review written in 2019).
