Subject: This is one of my most favorite Jags. it gives Catherine an opportunity to show her really great acting ability. i was so hopeful at the end and then DB just dropped the ball. letdown.

[> I hated that the episode was so sad....it would've been nice to of given Mac some kind of break, some glimmer of hope, but nope. It also would've been the perfect time to have some resolution to the whole Mac/Harm mess, & then the 2nd half of the season let them enjoy being with each other, i.e. some happiness. I think Mac, because of her past, very much tried to do things alone, & to keep things bottled up. I think it was very hard for her to accept Dr. McCool's help, even though she realized she needed it. Inside.... -- Jennifer, 13:06:48 12/30/08 Tue

I don't think that Mac ever stopped loving Harm, but at this time didn't think there was any hope. They both screwed up, its not only Mac's fault, & again she went to Harm's to talk, but he was busy & pretty much shut the door in her face (not the 1st time he'd done that). I think at that point Mac thought there truly was no hope, and yes again she made some choices that are her own, & was trying to deal with them. And then when Harm showed up at the hospital, I think that glimmer came back, but then like mkim said nothing else was acted upon in the future eps.

Outstanding performance by Catherine Bell, but overall an extremely sad episode & really not IMHO a feel good Christmas ep. Maybe again it could've been had Mac been given some hope (god did she ever get a break from DB? I know she didn't LOL), and we saw some true happiness not only for Mac but for Harm as well.

[> [> I agree Twinny. I truly believe Harm could have and should have gone through some well needed counceling himself. He was quite messed up himself throughout the 9 years for many many reasons which I won't go into. As far as the resolving things between Mac and Harm after that episode and working their way towards each other, I never got roped into that. DPB said that he "wasn't" going to get them together if at all until the very last episode of the series and he was true to his word. I know people kept hoping, but he kept on saying the same thing over the years so I lost any insight that he would do it. It's too bad because I think they could have some amazing stuff up until the end, but alas DPB was true to his word. -- KH, 16:27:25 01/06/09 Tue
