The Last Episode of JAG

Once upon a time I was a JAG fan. That was many a season ago when the series was really about JAG lawyers. I drifted away after two or three seaons.

Tonight was JAG's final episode. The off-and-on romance between Mac (she) and Harm (he) was about to be tested. Harm was to be billeted in London, and Mac in San Diego. I watched to see if Mac and Harm finally got married or what.

What was more like it. After much hemming and hawing in "You know how I feel about you" and "Tell me when you are ready" flashbacks, the two JAG officers declared their true feelings for each other. They eked out a sort of engagement party at a local pub.

Once they made up their mind to marry, Mac and Harm were full of indecisions.

One would think lawyers like to tidy things up at the conclusion of the case - their case no less. Not Mac and Harm. These two brilliant military attorneys couldn't decide if they should cross the "t" and dot the "i", much less sign on the dotted line. They had to toss a coin to decide which one was going to resign his or her commission. The tossed of the JAG coin was suspended in midair, thus marking the end of the episode and series.

After nine years, the viewers are still not quite sure what's to become of this JAG couple. The conclusion of the series was not the ending I expected.
