I normally don't like flashbacks. I like my story to move forward at all times, skipping some periods if necessary, but not going back and forth. When Hollywood started with talking pictures, producers turned to the stage because that was where the actors worked who could speak properly. In American tv series there's a growing tendency to use British actors. What does that say about the American actors. I don't know. I DO know that in this episode all the players with some degree of charm (Ducky, young Ducky, young Angus, young Maggie, older Maggie) are all played by non-American actors. Coincidence? Maybe not...

Sad To Be Rewatching This Episode So Soon After David McCallum's Death
yasmin-attar16 October 2023
One of my favorite episodes it shows the history of Ducky's early romantic life and why he never married. The actors who play young Ducky and young Angus are totally adorable and fun to watch. Still don't quite understand why Maggie chose Angus? Why bother coming to the train station if you aren't going to walk the walk??
Too bad the next episode doesn't follow-up with the romantic potential 50 years later. This happens a lot. A story line is left hanging and we never know what happens next unless the character returns in later episodes (e.g., Col. Mann).
What an amazing career for David McCallum. He worked until he was 90 although the last few times he appeared via video conference. He was having difficulty talking but it was still a surprise when seeing the headline "NCIS Actor Dies." Sad.
