Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsNear the first part of "M.I.A." a patient was being resuscitated from heart stoppage. Clearly the monitor showed "asystole" or a total absence of electrical activity in the heart. During such an event, meaning "without electrical activity in the heart," there is no medium for transmitting external electrical shock causing the restarting of a heart. This is considered a futile effort, bound to fail completely 100% of the time .
- Quotes
Navy Lieutenant Laura Ellison: [Gibbs visits her in the hospital] It's been a long time, Gibbs. It's probably not how you remember me, is it?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Well, you probably forget I was the one who drove you to the hospital after you crashed your bike into that tree in front of my house.
Navy Lieutenant Laura Ellison: I still have that scar.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah. So does the tree.

Featured review
One of the best
I gave the earlier review from evenhoused a "helpful" tick, but I think it deserves more than that. I think that evenhoused is exactly on the money. The script covers all that makes this such a successful series. The investigative segment of the story sort of takes a back seat here, but is still interesting, and although I had my suspicions from early on, the identity of the villain wasn't clear until near the end. Apart from the investigations, we had humour in the marathon training thread, and character development in the opening-up of Torres' backstory. However, the triumphant element here for me was the pathos of the main storyline, and the astonishingly sensitive performance of Katherine Cunningham. I lost a loved member of my family in a similar scenario. She was as brave as Lt Ellison is portrayed here. I wish hope and strength to all those in the same situation. Keep fighting. Semper pugnate!
