JAG: T.V Review (Draft 2):

Introduction:

This T.V review is based on one of my favorite T.V shows: "JAG". "JAG" is a Military-Law-Drama about a group of lawyers who defend the men and women of the Navy/Army of the U.S.A, in and out of the courtroom. I have chosen my favorite "JAG" episode for this review. It is called: "WEDDING BELL BLUES".

Plot:

I have to shorten this version of the plot down a bit (in the first draft it went for approx. 3 1/4 pages), so here it goes:

In the first scene we find out that all of the major characters except 1 are in prison. Which includes : The Admiral, LtCmdr. Harmon Rabb J.r, and soon to be married man Lt. JG (Junior-Grade) Bud Roberts Jnr.

Once Major Mackenzie has bailed them out of jail we find out how the three-some ended up on their way to "Death Row".

What happened was that while the Lt. was out partying with his fellow officers at the "Fantasy Island Strip Club", the Lieutenants father (a retired Master- Chief) started harassing a pregnant stripper (who is also currently taking classes at law school as the Lt.). She tried to fight back but missed, and hit Bud who fell backwards and knocked the Cmdr, who knocked someone else, which caused a chain-reaction and also started a barfight. The police were then called and took them away. That's when the Major had to bail them out.

The next day the Lt. and his fiance (Ensign Harriet Sims) get married and the last scene is where the two newly-weds walk under a arch of swords and the last words said are: "GO NAVY!!" Which is said as the Cmdr hits Harriet on the Butt while she walks with Bud under the swords.

Characteristics:

David James Elliott, Catherine Bell and Patrick Labyorteaux are the main characters in the show, they play (in order): Lt.Cmdr Harmon Rabb Jnr (Harm), Major Sarah MacKenzie (Mac) and Lt. JG Bud Roberts.

Co-starring is: John M. Jackson (Admiral A.J Chegwidden), Karri Turner ( Ensign Harriet Sims) and Steven Culp ( Mr. Web. He helps the team out whenever possible, but gets on the Admiral's nerves. He belongs to the FBI?).

Although this is a Military-Drama-Adventure show it isn't as boring as most shows with the same topic. Don't get me wrong, it can get boring at times but the jokes that come intermitently breaks the dullness. The stars of the show get into their characterisations very well over all.

F/X:

The clothing used in this episode is almost the same in every other episode which is the Navy dress code os either the white or brown Navy uniform seen in all american military movies/ T.V shows.

The only difference is the JAG insigny on the shoulderboards, which is only worn by the members of the JAG core. They also wear normal/casual clothes when they aren't working (like in this episode at the strip club).

The scenes used in this episode of JAG are:

  • The Judge Advocate General (JAG) offices.
  • The JAG courtroom.
  • The Laundromat (when Harm was searching for his dress-whites for the wedding)
  • The "Rocketman" Strip Club.( Where the Hen's night out was held, and where Harm found his uniform, which was being used by a stripper upstage).
  • The "Fantasy Island" Strip Club.
  • The Church (where the wedding was held...duh!!).
  • The Hotel ( Where Harriet and Bud were staying).
    and
  • Harm's appartment (where Bud went to ask his superior for advice).

    The thing that I like about this episode is that it's funnier than all the rest, and you get to see the characters out of their JAG offices. In a nutshell, you get to see the character's private lives without the complicated courtcases.

    The End!!

    Why not have a look at these too!!
