Listening Log January 2025

Totally skipped December but I'm trying to get back on the rails here. I've honestly just been enjoying some quiet time over the winter. December and January are busy months for me, so I've been prioritizing rest in my down time, and the new year is slow for new music anyway. That being said, here are some albums that came out in January:

genre: metalcore

It's nice to see some bands that have been kicking around for a minute finally blossom and receive their flowers. I consider Tragedy of the Commons to be on par with the last 156/Silence and LMTF records in the way of “tasteful derivativeness”. Clearly looking back to that ~2010 Warped Tour era of metalcore but through a matured lens, putting a few cool spins on the formula and sprouting some grey hairs in the process. If you don't already have a soft spot for melodic metalcore, this album won't win you over, but the exceptional riffs and vocal performance certainly make this release stand out in a sea of microplastic pollution.

genre: post-hardcore

Vacant Home are really doing a solid for everyone who still loves that ~2010 style of emotional hardcore that blew up with bands like Pianos Become The Teeth, and Defeater. Throaty yells and pretty post-rock guitars that blur into charging down-stroked power chords — the classic ingredients are here, but this is the best I've heard them assembled in a long time. There's just an urgency to Vacant Home's music that feels genuine and worth listening to.

genre: post-metal "The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel."

The first sentence of William Gibson's 1984 cyberpunk classic, Neuromancer. Also the title of the first song on this record. Combined with the fact that the band itself is named after a 1994 cyberpunk point-and-click PC game, and the album cover features the dark and tightly packed corridor of a dense urban sprawl, it's pretty easy to pick up what the band is putting down, at least aesthetically. There is nothing overtly sci-fi about Beneath a Steel Sky's music, but Cleave does excel in conveying a sense of detachment, isolation and sorrow that are implicit in a hypertech world (perhaps one we are already familiar with). It's in this way that Beneath a Steel Sky manages to create post-metal landscapes that feels so close to the heart. I think fans of Devil Sold His Soul should check this out pronto.

genre: harp-prog or whatevs

Emily Hopkins (youtube's favourite harpist and effect pedal reviewer) has teamed up for a surprise collaborative EP with Chris Allison, most notably recognized for his work with jazz-fusion outfit Plini, and Dan Briggs, the low-end groove technician of Between the Buried and Me fame. Together, this harp, bass, and drum trio offers up a fresh and ethereal take on instrumental progressive-ambient-harp-jazz… metal? Yeah. Read my full review if you want.

genre: rock

I am not familiar with this group's previous work at all — despite sharing stages with acts like Muse and Placebo, they have seemingly not received much fanfare outside of Europe — but these guys have clearly mastered the art of knowing the right tools for the right job. This album is full of impressive dynamic sensibilities and restraint. III is haunted by a poltergeist of anger that is very meticulous about when it allows itself to show, although it is almost always felt bubbling beneath the surface. There are some noise and post-rock elements going on, but at its core this is a tried and true rock album. Excellent.

genre: metalcore

I haven't listened to STYG since The Hope Division came out in 2010, but I don't regret my ignorance of their output since then — now is probably the best time ever to jump back in to being a fan. Keep Planting Flowers retains almost everything I remember loving about this band back in the day. They have put a distinct stamp on the way they balance the line between melodic hardcore and metal, so while they aren't exactly pushing any boundaries for themselves, this album is about as tight and focused as you can get, and unmistakably STYG.

genre: grindviolence/metalcore

Athousandangelsandseven's debut EP is an absolutely maniacal and violent mash of everything-core that refuses to rest on the laurels of its influence or become complacent. This is one of the most refreshing takes on chaotic screamo that I've heard in a long time, and one of the things that really sets it apart is how well it's produced. These songs are absolutely blistering, with nailgun riffs flying at you faster than you can keep track, but every skronk and stab of the guitar comes through so clear in the mix, making sure none of the bands character is obscured. This is a band to keep an eye on, mark my words.

genre: indie-folk

UK based singer-songwriter John Patrick Elliot wrote, produced and recorded this album as a celebration of life. Whether that was the birth of his new baby boy, or the shedding of Winter's frost to Spring's evergreen, February Songs really embodies that sense of light coming into your life and filling you with warmth. This album is a slow burn at times, but it's beautiful, full of heart and atmosphere.

genre: black metal/shoegaze

Calling Pale a blackgaze band almost seems unfair. You just can't put this band in a box, no matter how many prefixes and suffixes you add to it. I have never heard Pale before this, but this album reached in directions I absolutely did not expect. Black metal, shoegaze, hardcore, and noise elements are all combined in a creative way, but the most surprising aspect of the album has to be the NWOBHM influence. I absolutely did not see those classic heavy metal riffs or clean vocals coming on "Almost Transparent Blue". Probably not my favourite moment on the record, but it shows how far Pale are willing to go to avoid being pigeonholed, and I respect the hustle.

genre: emo

weet Pill revisits some choice cuts from their last EP and their 2022 debut LP. This EP is far from a lazy collection of "stripped down" acoustic songs to fulfill label contracts (although I'm kind of suspicious of how much Hopeless is pushing them to release content). No, Sweet Pill really sat down, fully deconstructed these songs, expanded upon and created new stretches of space in the arrangements, and then pieced them back together into something wholly revitalized. Sweet Pill used this EP as an opportunity to flex their chemistry and venture into new territory that would be really cool to see applied to new material. Bravo.

SR-71 OL-Griffiss AFB

OL-Griffiss AFB

Rome, New York

1973

Yom Kippur War

The Yom Kippur War SR-71 operation provided a series of 11.4 hour round-robin sorties to the Middle East. Plans were originally made to fly these flights from Beale AFB to the Middle East and recover at Mildenhall, United Kingdom. Upon arrival at Mildenhall to set up recovery operations, Colonel Patrick Halloran, 9th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing Commander, was informed that the British Government had second thoughts about the operation and denied authority to operate from the United Kingdom. The UK's reasoning was a possible Arab oil embargo against their nation. Two SR-71's were assigned to performed the historic 11.4 hour flights, tail numbers #964 and #979. These flights to the Middle East were code named:

"Giant Reach"

(Photo courtesy Tom Pugh)

On 13 October 1973, Pilot Jim Shelton and RSO Gary Coleman in #979, departed Griffiss AFB on the first of a series of flights to the Middle East. After 11.13 hours of flight time involving 6 refuelings and more than five hours of flight above Mach 3.0, Jim Shelton landed SR #979 back at Griffiss AFB, NY. The "Photo Take" was highly successful and provided Defense Analysts and the President of the United States with information about the actual Syrian military situation.

On 25 October 1973, Pilot Al Joersz and RSO John Fuller flew SR #979 on another 11.13 hour non-stop round robin sortie to assess the ground situation around the Sinai and Galilee.

On 02 November 1973, Pilot Bob Helt and RSO Larry Elliott in SR #979,flew a similar Trans-Atlantic sortie to the Yom Kippur War zone in 11.22 hours of flight.

The last flight from Griffiss AFB was 11 November 1973. Blackbird #964 was flown by Pilot Jim Wilson and RSO Bruce Douglass and landed at Seymour Johnson AFB, North Carolina. This sortie lasted 10.49 hours. As snow fell in Rome New York, Colonel Pat Halloran opted for a warmer climate and moved operations to Seymour Johnson AFB, NC.

These SR-71 Reconnaissance flights were instrumental in defusing the war and provided positive intelligence photos to the deeply distrusting Israelis and Arabs. With the shooting war over, OL-SB, Seymour Johnson became the base of operation for continued surveillance of the war zone to insure compliance with the peace accord.

OL-SB

Seymour Johnson AFB, North Carolina

SR-71 "Giant Reach" Operations

On 02 December, 1973, Pilot Jim Sullivan and RSO Noel Widdifield flew the first SR-71 to the Middle East from the Seymour Johnson AFB location. In aircraft #964, this crew flew the round-robin sortie to the Sinai region and returned to Seymour Johnson in 9.56 hours.

On 10 December, 1973, Pilot Pat Bledsoe and RSO Reggie Blackwell flew SR #979 to the Middle East and back in 10.0 hours.

On 25 January, 1974, Pilot Buck Adams and RSO Bill Machorek flew SR #971 in a around-robin sortie to the Middle East in 10.04 hours.

On 07 March, 1974 Pilot Ty Judkins and RSO John Morgan flew SR #979 in 9.45 hours

The final "Giant Reach" flight occurred on 06 April, 1974. SR-71 #979, Piloted by Lee Ransom and RSO Tom Allocca flew to the Middle East and returned to Seymour Johnson AFB in 9.46 hours.

In all, four Sorties were flown from Griffiss AFB, NY averaging 11.4 hours each flight and five Sorties from Seymour Johnson AFB, NC averaging 10 hours each .

SR-71 pilot, Colonel Jim Wilson's recollection of one of the historic SR-71 flights to the Middle East during the Yom Kippur War in 1973 is reproduced below for the Blackbird Community.

Mort Jarvis adds: The whole history of this operation is pretty interesting, like flying the Detachment Package into England and than saying the SR can't land in England and turning around and going to Griffiss, NY. If the SR was still flying with the Real Time down link of Recon intelligence, which the SR was modified to carry prior to retirement, the target take could of been in the command function hands within seconds of the take. I still think the SR-71 could do a better job than what Intel is being obtained now.

Col. Jim Wilson, USAF ( Ret.) Writes:

On Oct 6th 1973, Egypt and Syria opened an offensive against Israel on two fronts, launching a coordinated series of air, armored and artillery attacks into the Sinai and Golan Heights . The preemptive strike came as a result of a failure to resolve territorial disputes arising from the Arab-Israeli War of 1967.

Since no diplomatic progress was being made toward peace, Egypt 's Sadat was convinced that to gain legitimacy at home, he must initiate a war with limited objectives.

Along the Suez Canal, 80,000 well-equipped members of the Egyptian army crossed the Suez and attacked fewer than 500 Israeli defenders. And in the Golan Heights , approximately 180 Israeli tanks faced an onslaught of 1,400 Syrian tanks.

Initial Israeli military losses were significant. And assistance was requested from the USA .

At that time, our reconnaissance satellites didn't have the capability to provide the intelligence needed to sufficiently assess the situation. So, we were alerted to prepare to fly SR-71 missions over the area of conflict, then recover in England . It was a mission within the design capability of the aircraft, although such a long, logistically-difficult mission never previously accomplished.

Within the first few days of the conflict, the supporting Arab nations initiated an oil embargo, making oil a weapon of war and contributed to a decision by the British government to deny us a recovery any place in England .

A Plan B was rapidly drawn up to fly the SR-71 out of the East Coast, then recover back in New York at Griffiss AFB. These newly planned 12,000 mile missions would require (5) five air to air refuelings from (16)sixteen KC-135 tankers based in Spain .

In the utmost secrecy, we mobilized and deployed. A few days later, our first photo/electronic reconnaissance mission was successfully completed.

I was a fairly young pilot in the squadron, with only 120 hours of SR-71 time under my belt. I was assigned to fly a backup SR-71 and to stay at Griffiss in an alert posture, and be prepared to fly follow-on missions. Then I served as back-up alert on two more successful missions.

My turn to be the primary aircraft came up next. The excitement level was high. And I certainly wanted to be part of another success.

Takeoff was at 2AM on a brisk and clear autumn night with about fifteen inches of snow already on the ground. It was peacefully calm . . until I lit both of the 34,000 lb. thrust afterburners.

The first 450 miles had to be flown subsonic at .9 Mach, since we had to clear the commercial aircraft flight tracks off the East Coast before I could safely re-fuel. Most pilots don't know the true meaning of dark until they've been in a situation like this. You might compare it to refueling in an inkwell. I then made made three radio silent electronic rendezvous with three tankers out over the North Atlantic before dawn . . taking on 10,000 gallons of fuel.

After completing a few post-refueling checks, I lit the afterburners and started my acceleration to a leisurely Mach 3 cruise across the Atlantic . The airplane performed flawlessly, thanks to the extra special effort by the maintenance guys.

About 2000 miles across the Atlantic , I watched with excitement as the sun came up right in my face, giving me a nice vantage point.

The next refueling was a couple hundred miles north of the Azores . I took on another 10,000 gallons from a couple more tankers.

I started my second acceleration and headed for Gibraltar . At 80,000 feet, cruising through the center of the narrow straits with clear weather and 100 miles of visibility on both sides. Spectacular.

Then I proceeded down the Mediterranean toward Israel where the weather was becoming worse as per flight plan's forecast.

The third air refueling south of Crete , although in poor weather, went along as scheduled. Now packing in a full load of 80,000 lbs of JP-7 fuel, I lit the afterburners and started the acceleration toward the target area.

At maximum fuel flow in full afterburner, a RED engine oil quantity low light illuminated steady on my emergency warning panel.

In almost unbelief . . I momentarily stared at it !

I instantly scanned oil pressure, rpm, exhaust gas temperature, nozzle position for other indications of trouble. Although there were no confirming indications of problems, I couldn’t just ignore the situation and continue on into the target area with the possibility of an engine failure at supersonic speed out over the Sinai.

We had no viable emergency airfields that could handle the SR-71. And I certainly did not want to be a no-notice, no-flight plan, single engine emergency arrival at David Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv. Especially, since the Israeli government had not been told about our missions, and they were focused on major battles for their own survival.

I took the engines out of afterburner to access the situation, and think about the best course of action.

Then I had a pleasant surprise.

After coming out of afterburner the critical red warning light went out. I became fairly-well convinced that it was a false momentary indication.

But it had cost me roughly 400 gallons of critically needed fuel. My tankers were now 80 miles behind me . . and they were moving further away each second. And re-joining them to top off fuel, would present a whole new set of problems [ I won't get into.]

I decided to re-light the burners and press on. I had a 5 second flash of the same red light during acceleration. Then it went out. Stayed out.

My flight track went down the Suez past Cairo before making a left turn at Mach 3.15 to cross the battle lines in the Sinai. With panoramic and specific point cameras providing imagery of hundreds of targets on both sides of the SR-71, I flew North across the Dead Sea and Golan Heights . Approaching Lebanon , I made a sweeping right turn out over Syria and then back to the Sinai on a parallel flight path for maximum coverage. The airplane was running well. I pushed it up a bit to Mach 3.2 before exiting Egypt near Port Said .

Once out over the Mediterranean , I started a descent to 25,000 feet to hit my fourth set of refuelers.

But as fate would have it, I was not only beong low on fuel because of my previous oil low warning problem, but now a thunderstorm had reached up and it was now enclosing the air re-fueling contact point.

Using our internal electronic azimuth and distance measuring equipment, my backseater got me to within less than a mile behind my tanker. But now, visibility was so poor that I could not see it.

In lousy weather, very low on fuel, I continued twenty miles down the refueling track. By this time, there was just one-half mile and 1000 feet of separation from the tanker.

Small break between the clouds. Hooked up.

I had less than 15 minutes of fuel left, when we made re-fueling contact with the tanker and started transferring. The nearest emergency runway was roughly 100 miles away on Crete .

Needless to say, I was very thankful to my tanker buddies, backseater, and good equipment for that rendezvous. What a relief ! It gave me an entirely new meaning to ' finding a gas station ' . . when I really needed one.

We completed a fifth 10,000 gallon air refueling near the Azores before proceeding on a leisurely Mach 3 flight across the mid-Atlantic to a landing at Seymour Johnson.

Within 20 minutes, our people had the photo and electronic intelligence equipment downloaded, then onboard a dedicated AF courier flight to a Photo Interpretation Center in D.C.

Including 6 hours 41 minutes of supersonic speed, the round-trip flight covered more than 12,000 miles in 10 hours 49 minutes.

After landing, I remember wondering what Lindbergh would have thought about the amazing advancements in aviation technology.

These missions were not declassified until the early 1990's when the SR-71 program was closed at the end of the Cold War. Most of the remaining birds are now in various museums.

The one I flew is the centerpiece at SAC's Air and Space museum near Omaha .

SR-71 Photo Archive taken at Seymour Johnson AFB during the Yom Kippur War Operation "OLSB"

Entire SR-71 crew at Seymour Johnson AFB, North Carolina during the Yom Kippur War 1973.

The following personnel participated in the first missions flown out of OLSB. Additional crewmembers (not listed) also participated in these missions. This is the manifest for the Wing Staff personnel on the left and Maintenance on the right.

The following photos are the only ones known to exist of the SR-71 Operations at Seymour Johnson from October, 1973 to April, 1974. At the time, Seymour Johnson was in the process of an ORI (Operational Readiness Inspection) with their B-52's and KC-135's. The Seymour Johnson Wing Commander was not the least bit impressed when we showed up with a DOD directed mission (Yom Kippur War Flights). He was irate about usage of his facilities (We cleared out one of his large hangars and put the two SR's, KC-135Q and our mobile film processing center in the hangar). Additionally, he complained of fuel usage from his facilities by the 9th SRW. A phone call to the Pentagon by 9th SRW Commander Colonel Patrick Halloran resulted in the following, as Pat said: "The problems just went away". The critical war assessment missions were flown as scheduled and we departed Seymour Johnson in April of 1974. I am sure they were glad to see us go home.

The photos show the trailer which was purchased and moved into the hangar for SR-71 Operational Control and the Photo Processing Center which was comprised of 2X4's and plastic sheeting to keep the dust out. The two SR's were parked side by side in the hangar with the KC-135Q tanker opposite the Blackbirds. The flights lasted 10 or 11 hours and in one instance, the Pilot had to be assisted out of the Blackbird. The photo reconnaissance "Take" resulted in conclusive evidence of the location of Arab and Israeli forces. The photos provided the President and Defense Analysts with firm decision making capabilities to help defuse the Yom Kippur War.

Well the fun thing about fiction, especially fanfiction is that you can give anybody any genitalia with or without rhythm nor reason so it doesn't really matter what I do or don't think any of the character have going on in their pants but here's some of my own personal thoughts.

As always with HCs, take what resonates, leave what doesn't. Just have fun.

Characters that could have dicks, clits, both, tentacles, things beyond comprehension or whatever:

Part/Kryptonians: Clark Kent, Conner Kent, Zod etc

Bizzaro?

Other aliens: Martian Manhunter, Lobo, Kilowog, etc

Part/Atlantians: Arthur Curry, Jackson Hyde, Garth etc

Miscellaneous: Any Clayface, Swamp Thing,

Trans energy:

Tim Drake

Axel Walker

Guy Gardner

Oliver Queen

John Constantine

Maxwell Lord

Oswald Cobblepot

Harvey Dent

Less trans energy but I imagine it sometimes anyway:

Michael Carter

Harvey Bullock

Roy Harper

Lex Luthor

Edward Nygma

Honourable mentions:

Vic Stone (Might not have anything?)

Patrick O’Brian (????)

Thomas Elliott (Could and would give himself a pussy if he believed Bruce Wayne had one?)

Joker (some, usually older portrayals give trans.)

Based on a True Story: The Conjuring and Writing Real Horror

Art and Words by Charlotte Elliott - Instagram: c.elli03

The Conjuring Franchise has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. There has always been something oddly alluring about the cursed doll of Anabelle bearing a bloody red grin; the shape of The Nun forming in the shadows of a dark abbey; a possessed child rasping in tongues while Ed Warren condemns the spirit back to hell. It’s a classic example of modern mainstream Hollywood horror.

When people learn I’m doing my PhD in horror studies, they often keenly ask me for recommendations. In blank panic, unfortunately, I forget every ‘good’ piece of horror media to ever exist. I forget my beloved Gremlins or Midsommar or The Thing. Never once have I admitted that The Conjuring has always been on my comfort list. Honestly, it’s kind of embarrassing.

It’s not the cheap jumpscares, or lacklustre storytelling. Sometimes, it’s nice to indulge in predictability. And sure, there’s the not-so-subtle message of conservatism. I can look past that, albeit grudgingly.

As a writer, the reason I feel weird about liking The Conjuring is its fabrication. Of course, no one expected Ed and Lorraine Warren - played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga - to be as perfectly vanilla as their on-screen counterparts. I’m certain most people roll their eyes as supposed demonologist Ed performs a house-shaking exorcism, whilst Lorraine has a convenient vision that reveals the last piece of the puzzle.

But who could blame Hollywood for ramping it up to make a profit? Isn’t that the crux of what horror and entertainment is all about? Profit, profit, profit. Facts go out the window when there’s an audience to entertain.

When I first became interested in horror based on ‘truth’, I tried my hand at writing my own dramatic short story based upon an alleged ‘real’ haunting. My source of inspiration was the Ancient Ram Inn in Gloucestershire, England. The Ram Inn self-proclaims to be a location of numerous historical true hauntings, presented as indisputable fact. The Inn’s website says there are Norman French records of the 800-year-old property, citing the Gloucester Records Office.

When researching, I couldn’t find any public records on the local archive database. Many websites described the Inn’s ‘true historical crimes’: a woman burned for witchcraft, a man murdered after his head was forced into the fireplace, an innkeeper’s daughter killed upstairs - if you believe hauntedrooms.com. In The Daily Mail, the former owner’s daughter, Carole Humphries, recounted “people running out of the house screaming”, stating “objects move… we used to hear the ghosts of murdered children''. Her father John told the BBC eight guests had to be exorcised.

The website boasts that the Ram Inn is built on ancient Pagan ritual grounds excavated by Bristol University. However, no academic records exist. I even contacted Dr. Stuart Prior, who is responsible for excavations in the Gloucestershire area. He said this claim is “certainly not related to any of the archeology [here]. I’ve never even heard of the Ram Inn''.

Not unlike The Conjuring stories, localised horror legends that claim to be based on truth are milked to generate profit. During my writing, I came to the conclusion that the Ram Inn’s original alleged victims cannot be vouched for. Especially thanks to questionable internet sources. Whatever the truth is in Gloucestershire, the Ram Inn still helped to inspire a (very average) short story. And it isn’t hurting anyone by claiming a spooky history.

The same cannot necessarily be said about The Conjuring. It’s not about the filmmakers ‘tricking’ the audience into thinking these events occurred. It’s not about the desire to profit from a fanciful story. Presenting ‘truth’ in film is dicey at best (where do you draw the line?). But this isn’t a criticism about cinematic accuracy.

My big issue with The Conjuring is not its extreme creative licence. The Nun II seriously goes as far to imply Lorraine Warren is a descendant of Saint Lucy. Sure, whatever. What I find uncomfortable is that The Conjuring presents the Warrens as the perfect Godly couple. In reality, they were crooks taking advantage of vulnerable people.

The latest instalment of the franchise, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021), covers the trial of Arne Johnson. In 1981, the Warrens did try and get off a man convicted of manslaughter by using demonic possession as a defence. Although an interesting premise for a movie, The Conjuring unquestionably excuses Johnson’s actions by literally presenting ‘the devil made me do it’ argument. The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2 merely follow ghostly hauntings; the third film takes it one step further by disrespecting a real victim, Johnson’s landlord Alan Bono.

When I researched the Ancient Ram Inn, it seemed that the ghosts were so far back in history that no one knew the whole story anymore. Perhaps now, you can just claim anything. Unlike the Inn, The Conjuring films take place between the 1970s-1980s. It’s recent enough that we can decisively analyse the erasure of the ugly truth.

Ed and Lorraine Warren were terrible people that should not be given grace. They conducted paranormal investigations to scam people by citing false ‘scientific methods’. Ed had an affair with a girl who was only fifteen. Allegedly, Lorraine encouraged the girl to have an abortion (resulting from her relationship with Ed) to protect the Warrens’ reputation. There was also alleged domestic violence in the family.

The Conjuring has contributed a false legacy. For a couple so devoted to Catholicism and denouncing evil, the Warrens had no problem profiting from fake science and baseless clairvoyance. Meanwhile, they were supposedly engaging in domestic abuse and pedophilia. It is clear from any basic Google search that the Warrens were not even close to the wholesome power couple we see on screen.

For anyone writing about horror “based on a true story”, I encourage you to think about The Conjuring as an example of how storytelling can be harmful. Very few people believe in an exaggerated - well, downright invented - ghost story. Especially when you swear it really happened. Deep down, the audience knows the writing is for profit and entertainment. Even my silly little Ram Inn story was mostly fictitious, despite all that research. When depicting real subjects, writers have a responsibility to be considerate when real victims are involved. On top of that, it should go without saying that it’s in poor taste to glorify dreadful people, criminals, and/or con artists. Shamefully - although I like to flick it on for an easy watch - The Conjuring contributes to the problematic legacy of the Warrens as heroes against the horrors.

Nancy Drew Games: all the romance

Here is a list of all the romance.  I put this together so I’d have something to refer to while making my queer headcanons.

1. Connie likes Daryl but Daryl likes Nancy.  Hulk alludes to romantic interest in girls.  (Nothing with Hal.)

3. (Nothing with anyone.)

4. Jacques and Isabelle got married.  Prof. H likes Dr. Bakhoum.  Lisa thinks Jacques is cute and says he's washed up now skiing-wise but at least his looks haven't gone down the tubes. (Nothing with Dexter.)

5. Not sure.  Nick and the demolition boss’s daughter?  Simone and Georgie?  Brady branded as heartthrob?

6. Henrik had a wife.  (Nothing with Joanna, Alejandro, or Taylor.)

7. Red had a wife.  (Nothing with Jeff or Emily.)

8. Elliott may like Poppy.  (Nothing with Ingrid, Joy, or Harlan.)

9. (Nothing with anyone.)

10. Tex and Mary like each other.  Dave liked Nancy.  (Nothing with Shorty.)

11. Linda is married.  Mrs. Drake had a husband.  Jane has a celebrity crush on Brady.  (Nothing with Ethel or Nigel.)

12. Jim has a wife.  (Nothing with Emily, Jane, or Richard.)

Lori and Tino dated.  (Nothing with John or Charleena.)

14. Heather likes Dieter but Dieter likes Minette.  (Nothing with JJ or Jean.)

15. Mike had a wife.  Not sure about Pua and Quigley.  Mike makes it sound like Pua went out with some guys, and it sounds like Quigley might like that movie producer.  (Nothing with Dr. Craven.)

16. Ollie has a wife.  (Nothing with Bill, Lou, Lupe, or Yanni.)

17. I hope Henry dumped Summer.  Dr. Buford alluded to a romantic past.  (Nothing with Lamont or Renee.)

18. Colin liked Nancy.  Margherita had a husband.  Helena says it’s a shame about Colin’s personality because he’s not bad looking.

19. Kit liked Kyler but Kyler married Matt.  (Nothing with Donal.)

21. Izzy and Leela liked Jacob.  (Nothing with Rachel, Mel, or Corine.)

22. Frosty likes Lori.  Pa had a wife.  (Nothing with Chase, Debbie, or Scott.)

23. Takae had a husband.  Miwako and Rentaro dated.  (Nothing with Yumi.)

24. Karl likes Mildred.  Anja and Markus dated.  (Nothing with Renate or Lukas.)

25. Alexei liked Maggie.  Toni liked Tommy.

26. Lily likes Dylan.  Dylan had a girlfriend and Lily is his type.  Dr. Bakhoum had a wife that he divorced for being tactless.  (Not sure about Jamila.  She says she’s going to have a daughter but there’s adoption.  How can she be so sure she’s going to have a girl unless she’s going to adopt and can choose the gender?)

27. Mason went on dates.  (Nothing with Ryan, Ellie, or Grey.)

28. Savannah and Wade like each other.  Colton likes Lexie.  Clara and Austin.  Jessalyn had boyfriends.  (Nothing with Harper.)

30. Bess likes Sonny but Sonny doesn't care.  Leena and Patrick like each other.  Kiri has been on dating shows.

31. Grigor alluded to romance.  Xenia and Thanos power couple?  (Nothing with Niobe.)

32. Elisabet and Magnus like each other.  Gunnar had a wife.  Dagny liked Alicia.  (Nothing with Soren?)

The Legacy of JAG: Exploring the Impact and Careers of the JAG TV Show Cast

The JAGs cast, featuring a talented ensemble, and the show’s iconic courtroom drama and military themes continue to resonate with fans. The JAG theme song stirs patriotism and perfectly encapsulates the series’ blend of military courtroom drama, romance, and intrigue. Created by Donald Bellisario, known for other hits like Magnum P.I. and Quantum Leap, JAG became a cultural phenomenon, paving the way for the NCIS franchise. With ten seasons of compelling storylines and a talented cast, the series remains a favorite among fans of military dramas.

Throughout JAG, Captain Harmon Rabb Jr., played by David James Elliott, and Major Sarah "Mac" MacKenzie, portrayed by Catherine Bell, developed a captivating chemistry that kept viewers invested. Elliott transitioned into other legal dramas after JAG, while Bell became a Hallmark staple following her role. Karri Turner (Lt. Harriet Sims) and Patrick Labyorteaux (Bud) also made lasting impressions, with Turner participating in USO tours and Labyorteaux advocating for youth charities. John M. Jackson (A.J. Chegwidden) and Chuck Carrington (Jason Tiner) continued their acting careers, while Zoe McLellan (Jennifer Coates) starred in NCIS: New Orleans. The legacy of the JAG tv show cast lives on, highlighting the show’s impact on military-themed television and its dedicated fanbase. Who was your favorite member of the JAG team? Do you watch any of the NCIS spinoffs?
