JAG 2/18. beginning of the end?
so far seems like the beginning of the end for Harm
hey, it's Admiral Cartright and Hamid Karzai
doesn't seem right to have harm and sturges going at each other

It will be a day to remember, indeed, when JAG goes off the air...
...provided of course, that it happens on a day when something else happens that anybody gives a damn about.

The funny thing about JAG is that all of the sudden characters hate each other. WTF was all that btwn Sturges and Harm?
I just wonder if they offer closure on Mac & Harm if they decide to continue after this season.

Well, I think they did their best to ensure I won't be watching next year. No more Admiral, no more Harm, little to no Bud anymore = no sale. The new guy is boooring.

It started out with a boat heading towards an oil platform. US helicopter warns them off in english and arabic but the boat keeps going to the gunner shoots up the back of the boat to disable it. That gets Harm, who is also going through the steps to get qualified on F18s, sent to the carrier the chopper was based off of. After the investigation Harm gets permission to do the carrier part of qualifications and while he is airborn a cesna type plane starts heading for the same platform and the regular CAP is farther away than Harm so they send him in. He tries a few things to get the plane off course but it goes back to heading at the platform so he shoots it down seconds before it would have hit, without specific orders to fire.
Sturges comes out to investigate the shoot down and him and harm act like enemies and almost come to blows. There was an important Iraqi on the plane that was supposedly on a survey type flight.
There was some sort of twist at the end that I'm not clear on, I think someone who supposedly died had the death faked in order to get his family out of Iraq safely and that Harm was in on it but I'm not clear what was going with that. It was at the very end. I think maybe the shoot down was staged or something

From TV Guide's Matt Roush's Q&A this week:
As for JAG: Next to Arrested Development, the announcement of Elliott's departure generated the most mail since my last column. In the Feb. 27 issue of TV Guide, we follow this story, reporting that Elliott's contract was not renewed for economic reasons. A decision on whether JAG will even continue has not yet been reached, and how the Harm-Mac relationship will be resolved is being kept under wraps for now.

I believe he signed that after CBS didn't renew his contract.

That is so stupid. I gave up on this show back when it was announced that DJE would be leaving. The only reason I stuck around this long because I was waiting for them to get Harm and Mac together. This season has sucked with less of that dynamic, without the Admiral. I think for me it actually started to suck when they brought in the girl that lived with Harm for a while Maddy.

Unless they turn this into JAG/Baywatch there is no way they are going to make a large gain in younger market share. I think this is a great show, but guess what, I started watching it with my in-laws who are in their late 60's, early 70's. I doubt I would have watched it on my own and most others won't either. They are too busy being force fed all the reality crap which isn't even close to how good this show can be.

Yeah - I don't see it happening either. Plus it sits in the Friday 9 pm timeslot, so I don't know exactly where these younger viewers are supposed to come from. Hopefully, the programming suits will realize this and not renew the show, which would allow Bellisario to craft a satisfying series finale.
