"Honour thy father"

[hindsonevansmike · 7/10 · 15 July 2021]

Looking at this from 2021 (24.5 years after first broadcast of this episode) you are able to see how far America (and the Navy) have come in so many ways.

Harm and Mac place their fledgling friendship at risk, while Bud Roberts settles into his role of learning to be a great lawyer under Harm's tutelage. Mac informs Harm that a Marine never ducks - she just "takes cover". Harm's apartment is developing - he now has power to his refrigerator.

The family issues surrounding the story are well-covered and sympathetically-written. Harm proves his accuracy with a glass (full) of beer.

"Heroes"

[allmoviesfan · 10/10 · 15 May 2024]

Ahh yes, the famous episode where Harm earns the ire of the court and Admiral Chegwidden by firing a loaded Heckler & Koch submachine gun into the ceiling in order to make a point. It's one of the most seminal moments in JAG's ten-year run.

"Heroes" is also notable for the first real tension between Harm and Mac as the former prosecutes and the latter defends a member of SEAL Team Five who has been charged with deliberately killing a fellow team member on a mission to recover some Semtex. Har and Mac really go at it, and Mac appears to take it personally.

As Harm learns, things aren't as they seem, and it's ultimately quite a heartbreaking story about fathers and sons and hidden, uncomfortable truths. I guess it was just the way things happened in the US Navy in the 1990's - thankfully it is a thing of the past now.

4 episodes in and she's still not a player

Catherine bell will never be the lawyer that tracey needham was and all she seems to care about is making a rift between the jag staff ... wait til karri turner (harriette sims) comes along and sets her straight ... plain and simple she doesn't fit in and never will
