NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service

Reveille - S1-E23

Factual error: Special Agent Gibbs asks McGee how long Medical School takes in the UK, to which he answers 4 years. This is incorrect, because almost all aspiring doctors in the UK go through the Undergraduate Medicine route (MBBCh) which takes 5 years. When McGee performs a search on the computer, he enters "Medical Post Graduate" in the search criteria, which would be unlikely in real life. (00:24:27)

Reveille - S1-E23

Other mistake: When we see McGee get a match for the terrorist, the picture of Ari that we see has been shown many times before in the search for his identity.

Agent Afloat - S6-E2

Trivia: Season 6, "Agent Afloat": Maybe real aircraft carriers posing as fictional ones shouldn't let viewers see their registration numbers. When this episode aired, producers heard from several "carrier purists" complaining that CVN74 is the U.S.S. John C. Stennis, not the (non-existent) Seahawk.

Show generally

Question: I finally saw the 2-part episode from the show JAG. Does anyone know what happened to Viv Blackadder? I don't recall hearing anyone ever mention the name on NCIS.

Answer: I hadn't seen the backdoor pilots yet but while it wasn't explicitly stated, at least onscreen, I heard somewhere Vivian got either fired from NCIS due to jeopardizing a case, got resigned from the agency, or transferred to the FBI.

Raykvega423

Answer: I dont believe it is ever mentioned, but like most pilot episodes the characters are often changed, replaced or even removed in this case.
