An enjoyable piece of "fluff", not to be taken seriously

Warning: Spoilers
An episode which demonstrates a woeful lack of understanding of European politics and geography (so soon after the Season Two episode "Trinity" had blundered through Northern Irish politics), but still provides entertainment for dedicated JAG viewers.

Harm's task of protecting/escorting/distracting Princess Alexandra gives us a re-hash of the Gregory Peck 1950s film "Roman Holiday".

The minor side characters include DJE's real-life wife Nanci Chambers, hiding as likeable reporter Meghan O'Hara whilst being, in her real character, the hired assassin (a useful range of acting challenges which Chambers performed well). This was some years before the actress returned to JAG as the memorable character of the devious, spiky, self-centred (and ultimately doomed) Lt Loren Singer.

Harm makes his famous "I regard you as a sister" comment to Mac and our Dynamic Duo eventually thwart the assassin's plans. Finally, Harm gets his six pinched by the affectionate princess.

It helps to pass 45 minutes if you want enjoyable fluff. I don't think that any of the actors (apart from Chambers) got out of second gear at any point on the journey through this pedestrian script. And obviously Romania is not a monarchy!

Patrick labyorteau once again shows what a complete putz his is and will be and he screws up his first date with karri much to her dismay ... this episode is about political intrigue and assassination by david elliot's real time wife nanci chambers which fortunately fails ...

completely wrong
pedestriancow6 February 2018
Romania is depicted as a monarchy. It is wrong. By the time it was filmed, it hadn't been a monarchy since after the 2nd WW. It is quite offensive that they couldn't do basic research and imply that the king could make decisions on behalf of Romanians.
