Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The team is often much like a very dysfunctional family, with Gibbs and Director Shepard as the parents, DiNozzo, McGee, Ziva/Kate, and Abby as the children, and Ducky as some sort of more distant relative, like a Scottish uncle or grandfather. We all know parents aren't supposed to show favouritism, but it's stated in multiple episodes that this person is Gibbs' favourite.
2. Tony DiNozzo has a lot of nicknames for Tim McGee, the junior agent on the team. McCranky, McDetail, McEgghead, McFlabby, McFlowerPower, McFreaky, McGarnagle, McGecko, McGeek, McGiggles, McGnome, McGoo, McGoogle, and the ever-popular Probie, to name just a few. Which of the following was McGee never called in seasons 1 through 7?
3. Tony comes from a very interesting family. He is an only child, and his parents were wealthy, although he was cut off for unknown reasons. Gregarious and movie-savvy, he has stated that he was given vampire nightmares as a child during a phase his mother went through named after this monarch.
4. Tim McGee sometimes seems out of place in the squad room; he's a computer genius rather than a streetsmart ex-cop, assassin, or Marine and least at ease with playing the gun-toting tough-guy federal agent. He also has an interesting hobby/moonlight career as a novelist. Everybody knows his first novel was called "Deep Six" but what was his second novel entitled?
5. Mossad officer Ziva David joined NCIS as a liaison after she shot her half-brother and rogue Mossad agent Ari Haswari, saving Gibbs' life. Her father is the deputy director of Mossad and Ziva, like Ari, was groomed by him from childhood for a specific purpose. How many languages (not including the language of love) does Ziva speak?
6. There really is no-one like forensic specialist Abby Sciuto; as Tony has said, she's "a paradox wrapped in an oxymoron smothered in contradictions in terms. Sleeps in a coffin. Really, the happiest goth you'll ever meet." Despite her eccentric tendencies, she is all about the science. She graduated from Louisiana State University with a triple major in these three fields.
7. Dr. Donald Mallard is known to nearly everybody as Ducky, for obvious reasons. He attended the University of Edinburgh in his native Scotland before working all over the world for various agencies. In "Bikini Wax" he tells Palmer that he did not always want to be a pathologist; which vocation did he briefly consider taking up?
8. Jimmy Palmer, "the autopsy gremlin" as Tony calls him, has been a comic sideline character since Ducky's first assistant Gerald lost the full use of one of his arms after Ari Haswari shot him. It's implied that the character based on him in McGee's book has necrophilia, but in "real" life, Palmer has this quirk.
9. Now, finally, we can get to everybody's favourite-- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Terse and nearly infallible, he's the end-all, be-all of NCIS agents we've seen. In "Under Covers" Abby wishes him a happy birthday on 10 November, but what is his astrological sign as mentioned in another episode?
10. We also know Gibbs has had a lot of relationships over the years, but the only truly serious one was with his first wife, Shannon. Besides her, he was married and divorced three times and had relationships with Director Shepard, Colonel Mann, Rose, and the mysterious redheaded woman from the first couple of seasons. All of these probably contributed to his grey hairs, which leads people to believe he is older than he really is. Gibbs' real age has never been revealed but we do know what year he left his hometown of Stillwater, Pennsylvania for the Corps; which was it?
