GHScorpiosRule July 7 Share July 7 I hear ya, @Raja! And while the first season’s finale was never aired in the original airing on NBC, but was in the summer hiatus? When they used most of the episode in the season three “Death Watch” as flashbacks, I thought it was a cheap cop out NOT to have Harm tell Mac that he had been arrested for Diane‘s murder. They could have thrown a line in there how they let him go for lack of evidence. Krennick should have been draaaged for her sexual harassment of Harm. But I guess since None of the male officers had to pay, it was A-Okay for her to get away with it?😒😒 I’m glad she got drop kicked as well. And I also LOATHE Brumby. Yes, it’s sad the actor committed suicide shortly after he left the show, but Mic just had this layer of smarm every time he opened his mouth and spoke. Which is why I pretty much fast forward all his scenes. And how I am up to season five now!😂😂😂 On 7/5/2024 at 6:26 PM, Raja said: Jeff McKay who was Magnum's Mac was also a Black Sheep veteran. Oh I knew about Jeff-Bellisario made a point about how he loved having him as Bud’s dad. Okay, so the closest we got to getting Scott Bakula was in season three’s “Father’s Day” where there was a Quantum Leap convention and there were blow ups of Sam and Sam and Al!😂😂😂 still wish we could have gotten the actor. 1 Link to comment
GHScorpiosRule July 7 Share July 7 (edited) Forgot to add and I don’t think I mentioned it before, but I hate that Harm Senior was cheater! Cheater! Pumpkin eater! In “Ghosts of Christmas Past” in season five. They could have NOT have him macking with Jenny Lake. But noooooo. Must have David and Catherine kiss and utilize their chemistry while refusing to have them actually get together as Mac and Harm. Edited July 9 by GHScorpiosRule Link to comment

In “Ghosts of Christmas Past” in season five I can't say that I know the episodes distinctly but I did gloss over the hows of the storyline of Harm SR. Being a POW*MIA who was taken to the Soviet Union and held secretly so Harm JR, Gene Hackman, Chuck Norris nor Rambo could go Mission MIA and recue him. And then he fathers a child while a secret prisoner in the Soviet Union. Well I was in for mostly getting the military stuff correct. 1 1 Link to comment
GHScorpiosRule July 8 Share July 8 13 minutes ago, Raja said: I can't say that I know the episodes distinctly but I did gloss over the hows of the storyline of Harm SR. We know from the letter tapes he missed his wife and son. We know he was shot down on Christmas Eve 1969; we were told by Boone in addition to the mission(s), Hammer was devoted to Trish. But then we get this USO episode where the night before he’s shot down, he’s struck by lightning when he sees Jenny Lake (Catherine Bell) and he’s making out with her. When a few hours before he’s assuring Boone that he’s happily married and only thinks of Jenny as a “sister”, which turns out to be a lie. Since most is fresh as I’ve been watching all week, Hammer was a P.O.W. until…’72, when he was traded to the Russians, and then sent to that place in ‘80 that we were teased with in season 3 and shown in four. I can…forgive Hammer’s fathering another child and having a relationship with Serge’s mom because he was never going to be able to go home again. But Show didn’t have to…tarnish him with his making out with Jenny the night before he was shot down. And of course Harm has noooo problem learning that.😒😒😒 I admit, I really like the episodes that flashback to Vietnam even though it’s fiction, I’m learning new stuff, if that makes sense and the episodes with CAG Boone because I love Terry O’Quinn and he’s so very good in the role. And oh joy! The show’s 100 episode with the two parter in Australia “Boomerang” with wishy washy Harm and Mac accepting the ring from Brumby because Harm won’t make a commitment or isn’t willing to take the next step.

GHScorpiosRule July 15 Share July 15 OY! Show should have ended after the 8th season. Harm and Mac could have and should have gotten together at the end of 7 or any time in 8! I hatehatehatehate what the show did to Mac. Where was the strong, independent Mac we met in season 2 and part of 3? They turned her into a weak, needy, insecure stereotype who needed a man and fell for each new man because she didn’t want to be alone. While I hated him, Mic called that when he left to return to Australia. Yeah, yeah, except for that half-assed vague admission that he loved her at the end of season five-the NIGHT BEFORE her rehearsal dinner/night of engagement party, Mac knew how Harm felt. Show was quick to wrap up the Renee plot with the most misogynistic sexist story ever. But I didn’t really care because I couldn’t stand her ass. I don’t know why I’m still watching season 9 and I know 10 is the worst-Jackson/Chegwiddeb is gone. And Mac just decides because Webb has had acting for her for years, that she is attracted to him as well and agrees to “date” him in 9. Harm did the one thing she asked him two years before: he LEFT the Navy/resigned his commission to go after her in Paraguay. Like Mic resigned his commission for her. I really wish they could have found a place for Andrea Walker/Kate. Mattie was one of the WORST things to happen and I couldn’t stand her obnoxious ass, either. I much prefer Tiner to Coates. 1 Link to comment
Raja July 21 Share July 21 After a half lifetime of NCIS always having jurisdiction I got a kick out of a DC homicide detective kicking Harm and Meg off of an US Army installation, Arlington National Cemetery when another Naval Lieutenant was murdered there. Link to comment

I hated Renee when the show was in first run, but now I think she's the best girlfriend Harm ever had and they should have ended up together! I know that's blasphemy to most JAG fans, but the more I watch the show, the less I like Mac. She was such a ridiculous character. 1 Link to comment

It’s why they stopped using other Hollywood movies in the first season only. They did do a good job of swapping the JAG cast in Peru for Jack Ryan being ambushed in Colombia. Link to comment

Harm had no business getting involved with her when he was in love with Mac, and kept day dreaming and fantasizing about her. Mac was a strong character her first year. With Dalton, it all went downhill. FAST. 2 Link to comment
Raja August 21 Share August 21 Ollie's and Admiral Chegwidden second appearances. I couldn't believe the plot that JAG had the only ID on a global assassin and he ordered Harm and Commander Krennick to keep the information themselves to get JAG the credit. Assuming they were successful in prevent the assassination of Russia's President Yeltsin that is. The socially awkward hacker upon meeting an officer asking the Commander if those were breast implants was as shocking as the my agency uber alles in the episode. Link to comment
