Just when you thought it couldn't get worse

My goodness. Do the writers not understand the logic of their own show? In the last episode, Rabb landed a C-130 on a carrier and for some reason there was a news crew there who recorded it. This episode he is being fired because of that news report; his face has been broadcasted on every TV! OK? This makes no sense. For one thing, Rabb has been on TV several times before while either defending, prosecuting, or presiding over very high profile international cases. You'd think that that cow was already out of the barn.

No further case need be made for why that reasoning is absolutely ridiculous. But putting this aside, it still doesn't make sense. Why would it matter that he's well-known? He is a pilot! He flies aircraft that carry CIA assets. It is only in their nonsensical world that this makes sense, where CIA pilots are used as undercover assets because apparently the CIA cannot possibly spare anyone else.

Rabb also seems sad that his office at JAG is no longer his. Turner asks, "Didn't you know?" What? Did Rabb really expect that they would hold his office for him or turn it into a shrine for him? He's been gone for months.

It is also annoying how everyone thinks less of Rabb for being a crop duster. This is rich, coming exclusively from government workers, whose contribution to society is quite ambiguous: indeed, would their jobs exist if not for the fact that they are paid by taxpayers who have to pay them regardless of their desire? In contrast, as a crop duster, he is providing a service for which he is voluntarily paid. All their medals and prestige obscures the fact that they are paid in money taken by force.

Harm is really a spoied brat. If not that he was the star of the show, the admiral should never have taken him back. And can you even resign your commission and just get it back like that???

Adm. albert jethro 'a.j.' chegwidden finally realizes his office staff can't produce the results he wants without commander harmon rabb ... just another widget to seal the deal .... sturgis is a poor excuse in the line-up ... when he can't beat bud roberts then he should be dropped from the series
