NBC did not air the episode at the time, and the basic storyline and most of the original shooting (including Andrea Thompson's parts) were later recycled in "Death Watch" (episode 3.19). NBC never aired this episode due to cutting the show from their lineup. When CBS picked up the show, not all the characters came with it; as such, the second part of the story was never made, and the "Death Watch" episode takes the story in a different direction. | ||||
This is the first season broadcast on CBS. The cliffhanger from the previous season is simply ignored, though the first episode of this season has flashbacks to the previous season's finale that establish that Lt. Schonke (a guest character last season) and Major MacKenzie (a regular character from this point forward) look the same (both are played by the same actress, Catherine Bell).
All episodes of this season have between the teaser and the opening credits a prologue with voiceover explaining Harmon Rabb's backstory, that he used to be a pilot but because of his night vision problems he transferred to JAG.
