7. Adrift part 1 (Season 6 , Episode # 134, Production # 134)

Original air date: May 22, 2001
Written by: Stephen Zito & Dana Coen
Directed by: Scott Brazil

Voter's Comments:

The episode is artistically excellent. The pacing is terrific, starting with the small tiff between Harm and Mac in the office, and ending with nail-biting tension in the middle of a crashing storm. The mundane preparations for the wedding, with Mic and Bud picking up the rings and Mac and Harriet at the wedding dress fitting, juxtapose with Harm's having to prove himself to the CAG that he was not a Washington weinie and could handle his qualls. Then there is the sublime Come Fly with Me scene, that flashes from the church rehearsals to Harm completing trap after trap in the evening sky. The vision of Harm's happy face as he makes each landing, is made poignant with the knowledge that his heart is breaking because the woman he loves is preparing to marry another man.

I love all if it - the Harm and Mac dynamic (love seeing Mac so visibly upset at loosing Harm). Mic and Renee's sudden comprehension that the writing was on the wall - they had both lost. Watching the Admiral, Gunny, Tiner, Bud, Harriett and all the other JAG people hanging on through the night waiting for word of Harm's rescue - sigh!

Adrift is also one of my faves because it just reached in and tore my heart from my chest at the end. I was so emotionally distraught over Harm's situation, even tho I knew he'd be rescued. The cockpit chatter was the most realistic we'd ever seen and I was biting my nails as they were preparing to eject. We went from the glorious high of Harm making his quals to the strains of Frank Sinatra, to the horrendous depths of Harm's dangerous predicament. What a ride. I still get queasy when I think about it. (NT) -- The Chief (didn't vote for this one, but knew I wouldn't have to), 22:55:00 04/26/05 Tue
