Trivia: Donald Bellisario was originally against casting Catherine Bell as Mac. Since Bell had played a murder victim in the last episode of season 1, Bellisario felt her re-appearance as Harm's new partner in the first episode of season 2 would confuse the audience. Bell eventually won Bellisario over, and she remained on the show for the rest of the show's run.

Ice Queen (1) - S8-E20

Trivia: In one scene, Gibbs tells Rabb that, as an NCIS special agent, he isn't required to offer Rabb any military courtesy. This is actually true: NCIS is the only military investigative agency staffed entirely with civilians, so there is no official chain of command they are required to follow.

Washington Holiday - S2-E9

Factual error: In the whole episode, Romania is depicted as a monarchy with the king in a position that allows him to make political decisions. However, Romania ceased to be a monarchy in 1947. By the time depicted in the episode (circa 1997), Romania was a republic and its head of state was the president. Members of the ex-royal family did not hold any positions in the Romanian government and were certainly not authorized to represent Romania in international events.

Ice Queen (1) - S8-E20

Vivian Blackadder: Amad bin Atwa supplied money and explosives to Hasan Mohammed, who executed the attack on the Cole. They're an all-Jihad team that's been together for nine years. If Bin Atwa gives up Hasan, I want in on the kill.
Gibbs: We're not tasked with capturing Hasan Mohammed.
Vivian Blackadder: Gibbs, my brother died on the Cole.
Gibbs: I know that.
Vivian Blackadder: Then get me in on this!
Gibbs: You're not here to use NCIS as your personal instrument of revenge. You get your head around this murder case, or you pull your tailored suit out of mothballs and you march your butt right back to the J. Edgar Hoover Building.
