This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I always thought that Mac had some doubts about Harm's innocence and that they were justified from her perspective. When the investigator tells her about the work Manetti did for Harm, the way her expression changed was extremely telling about her state of mind. (IMHO.) For me, it at least explains why she followed orders to stay out of it, and why she was open to going to going on a mission for Webb.

And IIRC there were also outside circumstances that couldn't be controlled -- CB was extremely pregnant. ;)

- I don't think we can assume a character didn't do something that would have been logically consistent with their characters, just because we didn't see it happen. The writers have only so much time, so they focus on the main point. We never saw anyone at JAG worrying about Harm, but it doesn't make any sense to think that they didn't. But the focus was elsewhere. (Inside.) -- Cece, 20:37:56 03/03/07 Sat
  - I think out of character is not only dialog, but actions as well. For example if Harm came home and beat up Mattie. Now come on, we know Harm wouldn't do such a thing, so it's out of character. Eventhough he's done some pretty bizarre things, his character (as do all characters) still has basic elements that never change. (NT) -- Theresa, 21:43:42 03/03/07 Sat
    - Well that is extreme, though I imagine somewhere there's a sadist fanfic writer out there. But in general, people are capable of a lot of behaviours. If Harm were to do something so bizarre, there would have to be a reason (like he was high on crystal meth that someone had slipped him.) What I'm saying is, if language is consistant, and the story is well told, we would be convinced. We may hate the story, but that is a different matter. (NT) -- Cece, 22:43:26 03/03/07 Sat
