On a purely superficial basis, I’m sure Harm was attracted to the Princess. She was a cute, feisty imp, but much too young & immature for Harm. Her shenanigans would have worn thin in a very short while. I can’t see the 2 of them EVER being in a serious relationship or even a fling, as she was much too young. The most important aspect to Harm was that she was a case & a person he needed to protect.

No, I don’t think they ever saw each other again.

Yes, I think Mac was a romantic at heart, but I think her losses in the last 2 seasons of JAG finally took their toll on her romantic side. She ended up needing to protect her heart from anymore hurt or abandonment. I think there were “brief” glimpses of Harm’s romantic side, but they were few & fleeting. Now, once H&M got married after FW&FS, I can see Harm letting his romantic side come out more often with Mac.

I don’t think Harm saw Mac as his sister, but at this point I think he viewed her more as a friend. This episode occurred mid season-2, after “Full Engagement.” I suspect Harm was attracted to Mac, because she was definitely beautiful, but I don’t think he wanted or was ready to “go there” with her yet. Those “deeper feelings” developed later in their relationship for Harm than they did for Mac.

It seemed as if they both came stag, or perhaps agreed for expediency to come together. They were both on assignment, so I can’t see either of them wanting to bother with entertaining a date.

[> I meant to post this sooner, but I've had a lot of distractions this week. I give this one a 5. It's one of my favorites. It represents all the best things about JAG: drama, action, humor, romance, etc. Inside -- JAG Junkie (Ronda), 13:26:15 07/03/09 Fri

2) I think he found her attractive, he's a guy after all. LOL But I don't think he was seriously interested in her. She was too young, too "out there", and too much of an assignment like he said. He needed someone a little more grounded and mature that could truly be an equal. Someone like...Mac.

3) I don't think there was much future interaction. He probably still treated her like an assignment.

4) I think Mac was a romantic that wanted to believe in fairy tale endings. I think her home life probably caused her to escape to fantasyland a lot. As she got older, alcohol replaced that, but I think the romantic in her still yearned for the happily ever after ending. That's why she stuck it out with Mic, she desperately wanted to believe it could work.

5) I think he thought of her as a best friend and maybe something more. He just wasn't ready to admit to himself (or anyone else) how much more because it scared him.

6) I think they were too busy working to worry about dates. They might have some together for convenience sake, or they might have come alone. I could see either happening.

Thanks again to Araninda for keeping these going. It really helps to keep the board alive, especially now!
