reminds me of that TNG episode where Worf goes Sliding around the galaxy

I didn't care for this episode a whole lot. I had to laugh at Bud's rug though. It's interesting how Mattie doesn't show up in Harm's dream in any way considering this is a universe where everyone seems to either get or have what they want.

I don't think what we saw was what Harm was thinking of. Why would he day dream of him & Mac getting a divorce and Bud and Hariett not getting married? Seems odd to alter other people's lives in his day dream. Harm was probably thinking just how he and Mac would be if they got together. What we saw was an what altered reality would be if choices were made differently. In that reality, Harm wouldn't have left the Navy so he wouldn't have met Mattie (although I did wonder why she wasn't at the dinner since both Coats and Harm are the closest people to her).

I think it was "office only" at the dinner.
AJ Roberts wasn't there either, although a teenager would have been more justified to be there than a little kid since she would, presumably, be better behaved
