In reply to: Peter 's message, "No crime for people to love Mac,just like we love Meg. That's every person's RIGHT." on 03:46:44 09/03/02 Tue

True -- everyone has a right to their own opinion, in as much as everyone has the right to prove their opinion more right than other people's opinions.

Yes, there could be a million Mac lovers there versus ten Meg lovers. Mac has her good points inasmuch as Meg has hers. And it's quite understandable why Mac lovers would valiantly defend their stand. But what gets to me is people just dismissing Meg's relationship with Harm as shallow, or offhandedly saying that Harm was never in love with her the way he is NOW with Mac. What I'm trying to point out is that maybe, there should even be no comparison as to how in love Harm is now to Mac because their relationship was allowed to develop. Unlike Meg and Harm's partnership and their respective characters, Mac and Harm as a tandem and as individuals, had the full support of the writing staff and the producers to blossom into a fleshed-out protagonists and into a full-fledged romance.

Meg and Harm had that same potential, no matter how much the Bellisarius people tried to work against it. And the chemistry was more palpabale and more instant, unlike the Mac-Harm chemistry which had to be "forced" (otherwise it wouldn't have taken JAG several years to establish itself as a CBS hit).

In the end, what Meg fans have is a first season full of promise -- a promise that was never met -- and a perspective that's characterized more by "what if" instead of "what is." Mac fans have had six seasons of better-developed plotlines, characters, creative interaction, netwwork support and a stance that is more "luckily for us, JAG bombed in NBC."
