Subject: The only problem with Harm and Mac being undercover together is that who would rescue Mac right before they fire up the car battery? Harm had to be the hero to swoop in and rescue her, BUT, after that it went all wrong. INSIDE....
In reply to: chris k 's message, "I always thought we were robbed - what a phenomenal arc it would have been had it been Harm undercover with Mac not Webb - such a missed opportunity- but with DPB angry at DJE there was no chance in hell for any more good Harm scripts." on 17:22:16 05/08/14 Thu

Instead of a deeply grateful "Thank You" from Mac, and an "I'm so glad you're alive!" from Harm, followed by a brief, adrenaline-fueled hug, we got "Oh, it's you" from Mac, and "tamp down my feelings" from Harm. PHOOEY! And I'm not even a Shipper, but I was rooting for that! I could see the writing on the wall and KNEW that post-rescue moment should have been better. After that, it was awkward and just went downhill. I didn't believe either of them really. "I forgot how beautiful you are"?? Really? Ugh. What a LAME line, Harm. HOW could you forget? Could have been "Suds look good on you." Could have been a playful, "need help washing your back?" (but then they couldn't have shown it on Prime time! LOL) There was no "intention" in that line, just regret and resignation. IMO. I've not watched it in ages, but that's kind of how I remember FEELING about it.

I understand that the end of the cliffhanger had to put some space between them again - it was their M.O. I think they were going for a redux of Adrift 2 where Mac is left standing in the rain at the end of the ep. This time, the writers tried to get them to face their situation, but it was awful and clumsy and awkward - AGAIN. Made no sense. Harm is left standing on the curb and what do we remember? Not any achingly beautiful emotion of unrequited love or anything like that, but a stellar cameo appearance by Commander Winkie.

Paraguay is why I will never buy any DVD sets past Season 7.
