JAG (TV Series) True Callings (1999) User Reviews

Workaday episode, with implausibilities on display

[hindsonevansmike · 6/10 · 10 March 2021]

There are several highly suspect storylines in this episode - as other reviewers have already commented.

Harm supports Skates during her dose of "feeling mortal" and they pull off a supreme feat of airmanship (paying tribute in the end-titles to the "Pardo push" of 1967).

But Harm is running out of sky and the time is coming for him to go back to a lifelong legal career - making a bigger difference by helping people helping people.

This episode was heavily contrived

[brbrknndy · 1/10 · 7 November 2019]

The subplot where Harm pushes an aircraft to friendly territory I give a 10/10.

The subplot where the soldier smuggles a girl on board I give a 1/10. The writers of the story want the viewers to believe the soldier was a hero for doing this. Did they forget the episode on the Tiger cruise where a girl pretending to be pregnant came on board with friends and killed several people? This soldier should have been charged with several serious crime. Badly researched and poor writing for this part. This would not happen in rel life.

Office Manager

This series was always border line believable. What the originator of the series and the writers know about the military could fit in a thimble! Here we have a combat marine, an E7 Gunnery Sergeant taking charge of an office operation. Good God what a joke that is. I have been in charge of offices in the military, the reason I was in charge is my specialty was Administration, I went to school for it, I served on several vessels and shore units to earn that. Here we have a combat marine coming in to run an office. What a joke. This whole series stretches credibility.
