Subject: I'll be the bad guy and say it was a 4+. The reason I don't give it a 5 is because I hate the Russia storyline. It never makes sense to me, especially after Sergei shows up. We have this emotional scene and Harm meeting this (IMO) really old lady and I'm supposed to believe that she realizes Harm came all this way, she has his half brother but doesn't tell him.

2. I see Harm as the perfunctory phone call once a week guy. I'm sure Mac's name came up often. When Trish asks about Annie and realizes that Harm has "let another one go" probably after hearing about Annie for YEARS, Trish correctly deduces that Mac is a factor. I liked the Trish character, and never felt that she was stupid.

3. Second husbands of widows realize that, except for the death of their husbands, this new relationship never would have been. Harm Sr. not only died, he died in the prime of his life, he died because of a war, and he died a hero. Those are HUGE shows to fill. I think that Frank gave Trish a sense of stability that she did not have with Harm Sr. At the same time, I think he lacked the excitement and passion of the Harm Sr/ Trish relationship. Nevertheless, I believe Frank and Trish loved each other and had a happy marriage. The two marriages represented different types of lasting love for a marriage; neither is necessarily "better" than the other. It's just different.

4. This is top secret, but Mac was really a Harmy lady. She took that nightie hoping to get lucky with Harm. She thought the name of that hotel was the Manly Arms. When she didn't have a room, she planned to use the closet, like any good Harmy would do.

Bottom line, it made a good story because who wanted to see Mac sleeping in Marine issue boxers and a T-shirt?

5. Harm was emotional and he was often driven by his emotions. In fact, I bet we have more times when Harm was driven by his emotions than Mac was. That being said, I guess TPTB answer is that there was a big gorilla called career and Harm didn't see how to make it work. I think it was more that while there was emotion and there was passion, Harm and Mac were very competitive, particularly Mac. I think that was a large part of the gorilla, not that they were both JAG lawyers focused on their careers. Rather, I think it was that they tended to compete within their careers, and Harm didn't want to compete.

6. Well, it was one of DB's pseudo-paranormal storylines from the early years, and he really didn't know how to resolve it. It would have been creepy to have him alive, so it was just easier to have him dead and move the show forward.
