JAG 4/29/05 **Series Finale**

Not too many dramas last 10 years, let alone survive a 'cancellation, so I have to give credit to the producers. Never one of the best shows on television, but the characters were quite likeable and it felt like a show that you would see in the 1950s.

Needless to say, Catherine Bell is one of the hottest chicks to ever grace the small screen, and nobody can fill out a military uniform like she can.

Any predictions on tonight? I think Harm leaves the Navy for sure. As for Mac & Harm, they obviously confess their feelings for one another, but I am still not so sure they are heading down the altar.

My understanding is they filmed three different endings and only a few people know how it will actually end.

I agree, but sadly that wasn't enough to sustain my interest long enough to finish a single episode.

I'm surprised they didn't do a 2 hour show. Don't see how they are going to do all the flashback, wrap things up, say goodbye, etc in an Hour.

While I was getting tired of the "reality" type stories, I did like that they were really developing the other characters and giving them solid story lines. To bad it has to end.

Any news on what DJE will be doing? I just read he was doing "projects".

I'm going to miss not watching this every tuesday/friday night. I had a feeling this would happen though with NCIS's quick buildup. Lets hope it gets an ending it deserves.

If that's true, I can't wait for the DVD....

I didn't think it was all that bad of an ending. I actually kind of liked it. I thought the episode overall was just passable, but did like the ending.

Just because nothing else was on, I watched this series finale. I've never sat through a single episode of JAG in the past decade, and I can't say I would have enjoyed this show had I watched them in the past.

I thought the show was sort of a yawner, and the ending was a little lame.

Did Catherine Bell lose the implants?

I know they really didn't know the future of the series too much when they filmed this, but far too much focus was put on the new guy for a finale.

I normally skip the opening credits, but for one last time: I watched this weeks. How long has Sturgis been in the opening?

Mixed feelings on how they ended it: great that they're getting married, but hate the open question of "who's leaving the military".

At the last commercial break I couldn't figure out how they would wrap it up without it feeling forced, but I thought they actually did pretty good job and I liked the ending. Too bad there was any Vukovic in the episode. He is just a really unlikeable character. It's a completely different show anytime he is in there.

Sad to see JAG go. Been there since the NBC days. I did wish they had a few more cameos in it. They got Harriett and Mikey back for the finaly. Chedwiggen should have had a cameo at the bar scene since he was a big part of Harm & Mac's life. Not sure how they would work it in but have Webb appear for a scene.

The schmaltzy ending was so JAG but I liked it. Mac looked awesome in that dress in the end.

I guess the ending might have been the best that could have been presented. I also sense the potential for a "reunion" movie. Nice to see consistency with previous locales, good touch on the re-use of the bar. I "guess" the ending was appropriate since Harm and Mac's relationship has been so undefined throughout.

Not much left for Friday nights once this season of Enterprise ends.
