JAG (TV Series) Recovery (1996) User Reviews

"Now even space belongs to Harmon Rabb"

(Apologies for plundering the tagline of the 1979 James Bond 007 film "Moonraker".

Harm gets to play with space shuttle technology and Meg Austin (unknowingly approaching the end of her first and only season of "JAG") supports his investigation in her usual competent style.

Happy landings!

"Recovery"

[allmoviesfan · 7/10 · 4 May 2023]

JAG's season one - winding down now, this being the nineteenth episode - covered plenty of territory and so reaching for the final frontier of space eventually made sense.

Harm and Meg are called in to investigate the murder of an astronaut involved in the launch of a new space shuttle featuring specialised technology.

A good premise (even if you put aside the fact that Navy lawyers are investigating murder), but execution let "Recovery" down, resulting in one of the season's less engaging episodes, not even with the threat of further sabotage/loss of life and potentially foreign bad actors and even one of Harm's old rivals involved.
