Subject: Where did my old JAG go??? Inside
In reply to: ~ 's message, "season ten: Unknown Soldier, April 15, 2005" on 19:47:17 04/25/05 Mon

I watched this ep and tried not to get upset or throw things at the tv set. I kept telling myself: "IT DIDN'T WORK!!!! THE NEW JAG WAS NOT WORKING". Still I frustrated at the waste of our favorite characters especially Harm. Sigh!

So here are a few thoughts:

1 - Gladys Knight ROCKS. I love her and was thrilled to see her, but they needed to let her sing more.

2 - Harm looked great what little of him we got. I guess instead of us thinking that TPTB were isolating him, they are making it seem like Harm is isolating himself. He didn't want to come in and join Mac and Bud for lunch. Mac and Coates talked about him not opening up.

3 - What happened to the B storyline? It didn't get resolved. The doctor didn't take the plea so where was the decision? Or did I miss something?

4 - TNG in a tank top. Sigh! We saw Harm shirtless a couple weeks ago in the LA Marathon. Gee, who looks better IMO. Don't get me wrong, TNG is nice looking but it's obvious DB wanted a HarmType. BUT HE'S NOT HARM!!!! This is no offense to CB2 who is in a bad situation.

5 - So we get him in an UST situation with Graves. I think she's cute as a supporting character but that's it.

6 - And what is this about presenting yourself as JAG officers but are out of uniform? I don't remember Harm and Mac doing that on official business.

7 - I did like what Graves said to him about him hitting on every woman and so they don't feel special. Has she been reading the HB? LOL

8 - Just a mention of Mattie. Better then last week, I guess.

9 - I'm in Vancouver right now, so I didn't see the promos. But I read the board. I hope it's Mac going to see Harm to comfort him about Mattie and this time staying and he lets her.

10 - Harm and Gladys ROCK. Wouldn't it have been cool for Harm to jam with Gladys and company.

On the B storyline, after the CO made the admission about ordering the wrong amount of medicine, Harm was supposed to go to the judge and recommend that they don't go to a court martial because 2 careers would be ruined - the LT for not following orders and the CO for making a mistake with the ordering of supplies, with the rationale being they didn't want to lose 2 good officers who tried to do the right thing with the wrong results. And Mac was supposed to agree. They cut it out for some reason. (NT) -- Barbie, 19:50:44 04/25/05 Mon

- Saw the ep in ten mins, so it wasn't an issue. INSIDE -- CM>^.,.^<, 19:55:58 04/25/05 Mon
- that certainly would have made more sense - did the scene with Mac talking with the Lt. about a deal and her wanting to stay in - was that in the original script - or in a different place? Otherwise that conversation wouldn't have made sense after Harm talking to the judge. We all sat here with the same 'huh' look on our faces - there was NO resolution to the story line - we usually get better than that... (NT) -- Chris k - trying to remember what she saw besides the preview, 19:56:58 04/25/05 Mon
- Some Mac stuff was cut out also. The reason she and the LT didn't get along was because she was relating the LT's experience leaving the little girl before she died to her leaving Lylyana in Indonesia years ago, and having to make tough choices. There were a couple of exchanges about that between them, and Mac was supposed to lose her train of thought in the middle of questioning the CO. But that got cut also (NT) -- Barbie, 19:59:36 04/25/05 Mon
- They could have cut some of the music and written a story! And how much *better* would the A story have been if Harm, who has a tie to Vietnam MIAs, had been the one investigating, not Vic? They wasted a wonderful opportunity here, and I'm not happy about it. (NT) -- nancyeddy, 20:04:56 04/25/05 Mon
- Judi, I immediately thought of you when Graves told him a girl doesn't feel special if he hits on everyone he sees. I didn't like that they took up screen time, but I liked the dialog of that conversation, simply because it outlined all the things that we have said about Vic-head in the past. Whoever did the editing on this one, needs to go back and take some courses, this was very pieced together and choppy and without resolution for the B story. They cut out a good 5 minutes of script and it showed. (NT) -- Theresa, 20:07:44 04/25/05 Mon

- They are trying too hard for us to like Vukovic and Graves but its not working. Both stories are well meant but it feels half baked. The new gang should borrow the talents and chemistry of HAE and MAE (NT) -- JosieW -the promo wowed me but made me tearful, 20:11:33 04/25/05 Mon
- I still don't like or trust vic - I could have done with fewer v/g scenes but I did enjoy the A story. It would've been great had it been Mac & Harm trusted to that situation &Vuk against Bud without a 2nd chair. THen it would have been a fabulous ep. It also would've been nice if they'd let Harm join Bud & Mac - it wouldn't have required more time or change in dialogue to have him say Sure, then stand near Mac for the rest of the conversations. Oh well - I guess they edited this one before they were told the show was cancelled, cause it sure looks like next week - they got the message! (NT) -- Chris K - still laughing at the two singing sisters - that was a hilarious scene., 20:12:48 04/25/05 Mon
