Episode two - stuck on the set, not the high seas.

A claustrophobic episode, set and shot largely within the confines of the Admiral's office and the JAG HQ bull-pen.

This illustrates the new-style focus of Season Two, on CBS - more court case and legal arguments after the increasingly-implausible "Action Man" antics of Season One.

The acting is tight and the camera work is impressive. Definitely a new approach to JAG, at CBS. The actual case story is near-irrelevant.

"Secrets"

Warning: Spoilers
Following a prison break in the pre-credit sequence, the action in "Secrets" takes place nearly exclusively at JAG's Falls Church, Virginia headquarters. There, Admiral Chegwidden (and, later, Mac and Bud as well) are taken hostage by the prisoner who escaped. He believes he was wrongfully incarcerated and decides that the best way to prove his innocence is to take an admiral hostage. Not sure that checks out, but anyway.

There is plenty of intrigue afoot as Harm (with some assistance from Clayton Webb) try to talk the hostage taker down and rescue the admiral, Mac and Bud, all whilst fending off a strike team who - for various reasons that play out as the episode goes along - are very keen to silence the hostage taker.

A very good episode.
