JAG

So I presume Mac has cancer, or some other nasty disease? I'm guessing that's what that little bit with her questioning what she could have was supposed to indicate. ('Cause this episode apparently wouldn't know subtlety if subtlety hit it in the head with a bat. Chick living in the apartment with Mattie: Mattie is a typical angsty teenager! Harriet: We're one big gooey happy family! Mac: Webb and I had such a special connection that we're psychic! Guy on ship Sturgis was investigating: I'm a tough guy and don't have to tell you anything, neener neener! Yeesh. Are all of the eps like this? I've only seen bits and pieces before, plus maybe a whole one of the eps where Mac was fake-pregnant in some Central American country with Webb, so I have no baseline to measure this one by.) The ending was sorta sweet, but I guess I thought I cared more than I actually did. Meh.

Dude, even I didn't watch XF all the way through...although I didn't watch all fo the earlier seasons, either. But yeah, I'm still trying to forget that season 8 ever existed. Liked season 9, though.

Anyway, yeah, JAG. I can see the loyalty thing. Also, doesn't it appeal to both young men (blowin' things up) and older CBS conservative types, too, 'cause of the military thing? Winning combination there, I suppose, if you don't think too hard about the character relationships or the writing itself.

I didn't watch X-Files peroid, just heard about it from everyone else who did online. I think I saw maybe one episode out of the entire series, two at the most, and both woulda been waaaaaaaay back in first season when they origionally aired, so I don't remember much of them.

And yes, explosions are always fun. :D And I suppose JAG is pretty conservitive, though I never really thought about it. The spin off of it that they started this season, Navy NCIS (think CSI, only with millitary cases... None of the main characters themselves are millitary, I don't think) is great, though. It's snarky. And slashy. And it has Mark Harmon in it, who totally slashable with Michael Weatherly (Logan from Dark Angel). And it has a goth chemist. And did I mention it was snarky? :D
/shameless series plugging :)

The first five seasons were grand, seasons six and seven were watchable and often enjoyable, season eight sucked serious donkey balls, and season nine was redeemed by the Doggett/Reyes dynamic. The conspiracy eps were always so-so, IMO, but the Monster of the Week eps tended to be fabulous. Plus, dude. UST saturating the TV screen. ;)

Well, they are on CBS. ;)

I may allow myself to be dragged into a new fandom...getting BORED this summer. But I don't particularly care for the plots and things on JAG, or any other kind of crime show, so perhaps not NCIS.
