In reply to: Hope 's message, "My love for Castle has surpased JAG. I think because they are together and the push and pull on JAG just got to be too much. Also love that Castle and Beckett work together not on opposite side like Harm and Mac did so much. I do wish TPTB could have realised a show can survive getting the leads together." on 15:14:05 07/08/14 Tue

[> [> [> It's sometimes hard to understand why some shows get to us in that special way. JAG meant so much to me for all its faults and the disgusting behaviour of TPTB. (inside.) -- Cece, 21:44:46 07/11/14 Fri [1]

It wastn't just because Harm was played by such a gorgeous actor. I was a huge fan of Knott's Landing and watched ever ep, but I can't remember DJE for the life of me.

A lot had to do with Harm as the quintessential hero, and how damn good he looked in every type of naval uniform. And how good he looked in a tomcat, or in court.

But good looks alone doesn't do it for me, and there certainly have been better written romances. I was CRAZY about Moonlighting and watched the scene when David and Maddie finally got together, 40 plus times in a row. I was obsessed, and terribly upset that the show was completely ruined by the time it got cancelled. I love it way more than I love JAG.

So, why did I spend the better part of 10 years on JAG? It was a combination of things, and aligning of the stars so to speak. At the beginning I watched it off and on with my husband and would have dropped it after S7. But a funny thing happened on the way to Lifeline in S6. I found Maeve's, and some of the funniest women I've ever met. And a few months later, 9/11 happened and our communities were set. And then we opened the HarmyBoard, (Nov. 17th 2011), and the rest is history.

JAG became much more than a tv show with a hot star. It became STEMMING, and GLOODLE Aawards and Survivor, and IMing, and various Tarts, and cartoons, and collages, and videos, and fanfic, and fights, and fanfests, and friendships, and babies born and even friends dying. It became deep and long winded discussions, and petty jealousies, and spoilers, and nasty people who didn't like us. It was love and hate, and anger and kindness, and most of all, it became fun. It became so much to so many, and to this day, the HB is still here with old and new alike. All still welcome; all still special in their own way.

I know there are and will be far better shows, better romances, better story arcs, better characters, better heroes and heroines, and maybe even better looking actors. But for me, there will never be another JAG. It became my community, my own love affair, my social life, and my online family, and I'll never forget the wonderful people I met along the way.
