MTAC = multiple threat assessment center

not sure I knew that.

I am loving these webisodes, it's cool to get a look behind the scenes at how the show is produced.

Me too - they're really interesting. I'm very surprised to learn they film those MTAC scenes with live feed instead of talking to a video - shows how much the producers etc. value the work the actors do, that they want to help them to feel more like they're on stage reacting to another actor in the room.

You should check out the REAL NCIS website (see "Fandom Resources" in the links section of my DW page) sometime when you have time to snoop around - it's incredibly informative. That's how I learned there's more than one Major Case Response Team (which we then found out anyway when EJ came along, but I got questioned on that before then when I put another team in one of my fics, and I pointed the person to the website).

I'm a bad fan because I never knew what MTAC stood for before seeing this. I love how they work this by having the person on the big screen just in another room with miles of wire connecting them and how they play around with the...whatever to make it look staticy and snowy. I'm really loving these little glimpses into the inner workings of the show.

Um... I must be the most detail oriented person among us because I knew from when I first watched the show what MTAC stood for... plus, it was written out on the sign on the door!
