Line 36:
* [[Fandom Nod]]: In the Season 9 episode "Life Before His Eyes", Gibbs imagines what his life would be like if several things had gone differently. In his alternate timeline, Ziva never came to join NCIS and instead gets arrested for terrorism. Tony is the one to interrogate her, and "guesses" her name wrong several times. One of the names he calls her is "Tiva", which is the online [[Portmanteau Couple Name]] given to the Tony/Ziva ship.
* [[Harpo Does Something Funny]]: Gibbs simply glaring as other characters have one-sided conversations wasn't something the writers came up with. It was Mark Harmon choosing not to say his lines at all and simply use facial expressions to react to information being given to Gibbs. It quickly became a hallmark of the show and certainly made watching [[Info Dump]] scenes a lot more enjoyable.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: The main cast have appeared in a lot of other shows. Mark Harmon, Rocky Carroll and Lauren Holly all costarred on ''[[Chicago Hope]]''. Carroll had his own sitcom and was the voice of Derek Maza/Talon on ''[[Gargoyles]]''. Holly had starring roles in ''[[Dumb and Dumber]]'' and ''[[Picket Fences]]''. Sean Murray was on ''[[Hocus Pocus]]'' and ''[[JAG]]''; he played two different characters in ''[[JAG]]'' so if you count it as being in the same verse as ''NCIS'' it means he's played 3 different characters in the same universe. Michael Weatherly was on ''[[Dark Angel]]''. More recently, the actress who played Agent Lee, Liza Lapira, has turned up in ''[[Dollhouse]]'' and ''[[Dexter]]''. Ducky co-starred in ''[[The Man from U.N.C.L.E.]]'' as Illya Kuryakin (or as Eric Ashley-Pitt from ''[[The Great Escape]]''). ''NCIS'''s pilot episode can count as a [[Mythology Gag]] of sorts, since Ducky at times appears to be the team leader instead of Gibbs, mirroring his prominent role in ''UNCLE''. See also [[Actor Allusion]]. Also, although not likely to be brought up in an American show, McCallum was the Steel half of ''[[Sapphire and Steel]]''; he was also the title character of the 1975 ''[[The Invisible Man (1975 TV series)|The Invisible Man]]'' TV series.
** ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' fans will wonder about how the SGC intends to get Jonas Quinn off for serial murder in "Skeletons". They might be further confused by Martouf being a dirty Metro cop in "Lost And Found". Master Bra'tac apparently has a double life as elusive ultra-forger Khamal Khakani. Colonel Makepeace appears as an ex-Army colonel running a mercenary band that's hunting Mike Franks' daughter-in-law in a season 7 episode. Valla murders a man who has been killing off her dealers in season 7 episode "Borderland". The late Don S. Davis appeared as a government official in the second season and contributed to one of McGee's [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|most awesome moments]]. And Jack O'Neill's clone was apparently adopted by a Marine and who was forced to hold a classroom hostage by Mexican drug runners. ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' fans will notice that Michael kidnapped Director Sheppard, and Elizabeth Weir is an overworked ME in "Identity Crisis" and recurs as Ducky's temporary replacement. For the ''[[Stargate Universe]]'' fans there's the deceased [[Stargate Universe|Gloria Rush]] as the now deceased Lara Macy and [[Stargate Universe|Tamara Johansen]] as Dana Arnett from the Season 5 episode "Leap of Faith".
** One episode had a random teenager played by [[High School Musical|Zac Efron]], in all his feather-headed glory.
** [[The Bill|Zain Nadir]] was a Mossad agent who Ziva slept with.
** [[Law
** [[Supernatural (TV series)|Castiel]] accidentally stole a car with an injured, kidnapped woman in it. After he recovered her he {{spoiler|left her to die}}. [[Castle|Kevin Ryan]] {{spoiler|was the man who kidnapped her in the first place. This also qualifies as a [[Retroactive Recognition|retroactive]] [[Narrowed It Down to the Guy I Recognize|narrowing it down to the guy you recognize]]}}.
** Is that [[Corner Gas|Lacey Burrows]] who's the concerned housewife {{spoiler|who did it}}?
