Thanks for the thread. Glad Hetty is in the episode.

I am a bit worried for the team! Callen and Sam on the submarine and Kensi and Deeks trapped with Sabitino. The season premier should be a pretty good one!

(Is it wrong that I enjoyed having to watch the last scene of the NCIS finale before this ep started in my recording? )

Interesting person coming in to help Eric in Nell's absence... poor Eric feeling displaced

Love the power of Sam Hanna as a (former) Navy SEAL

more JAG music to introduce Mac...

9 years is so long for Harm & Mac to be apart. That's mean for the JAG fans - but Mac is clearly heartbroken over it though I think, even if she plays it as happy with how her life turned out

Hetty: "I like it burned on the outside, bloody on the inside. Like my enemies"
Mac: "She's funny"


Harm looks broken up to see Mac again to me I know I don't know the characters though, but that's just what I'm getting from their scenes & interactions... could just be some wishful thinking for the JAG fans though

Mac is fun & obviously already knew about the fetish given her leash comment earlier in the ep...

interesting playing two countries against each other... not good & horrifying to think something like that could be (& probably is) true

Nell Love how Hetty sends Eric to her regardless of what else is going on

of course it ends with everyone in danger

I never watched JAG, but I completely agree with this. I feel bad for the fans but it did seem like this ... and same with Harm looking broken up to see Mac

I guess in a way I was hoping for the fans for them to do justice to them because I know if it were me I'd want that. But then I had already read before watching that they weren't but actually hearing the 9 years part is heartbreaking. That's so long. But at least it did seem like they still cared about each other. I get that lives drift apart, but hopefully they can also find a way to bring these two back together? People can make long distance work. Maybe seeing each other again & working together in a way will make them see they've made a mistake? Make them try again? I'm still holding onto some hope as that's just so heartbreaking for the fans. Especially since they were one of those will they or won't they couples I think so after finally reaching a moment where they were now that's been taken away again? Not nice

[maplezbear]

I agree with you Chelle. Hopefully it will make them want to try again.

Hopefully. JAG fans deserve better!

The second part of the season finale made much more sense, at least case-wise. Once again Russians are behind the latest mess at the Persian Gulf... I really liked how Mac and Hetty handled the Russian politician (?)... They made a damn good team, Mac can be just as ruthless as Hetty when needed... I was kind of surprised that the scriptwriters dared to include a few actual political comments as part of the Russian guy's opinion...

Pavel's warning makes much more sense after watching the finale. Something really went wrong, I didn't think that the ship had more than 2 spies on board... I'm not really sure how the team is going to solve everything...

JAG-wise, it's sad that 9 years has gone by and that Mac and Harm couldn't stay together. It kind of makes sense tbh, throughout JAG they were known about being both carrier-oriented and pig-headed when it came to their personal life so it's not that surprising... I have to agree with Hetty though that it's not yet "the end for them", it's clear to see that they still love each other.

Also it was funny to see the Chechen guy commenting about needing a lawyer and Harm saying that he used to be a lawyer and his professional advice is that the guy is doomed

I'm really unsure about Nell and Erik, hopefully they'll stay at the show and won't be written off... Oh, and I have no idea about who was working besides Erik, I just can't recall her... At least she had a point about "not mattering who's in charge as long as they solve the case"...

And I almost forgot about Sabatini... It's never a good day when he's back... He's such a shady guy, though for the moment he's on NCIS' side... At least according to him... We will see...
