JAG (TV series)/YMMV


  • Alas, Poor Scrappy: Loren Singer.
  • Complete Monster: Mustafa Atef a.k.a. Mohandesh, the in-universe number 3 in Al Qaeda captured by U.S. Army Special Forces in Afghanistan who was given the death penalty by a military tribunal.

Mustafa Atef: (to Chegwidden) Want to know what I say about September 11? Every single person who died that day got exactly what they deserved!

    • Charles "Charlie" Lynch from season 4 is a remorseless psychopath who kills at the drop of a hat for any reason. He begins in "Nobody's Child" by stomping, beating, and strangling a five-year-old girl to death, solely because he feels she may have disrespected him. After the murder, Lynch opts to target her sister for fun. While initially stopped, he later returns in "Goodbyes" to kidnap said sister and hold her hostage to torment her mentally before he plans on murdering her as well; we are also told that he killed his Master Chief and two other women, stomping one to death.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: At least in the first season, they appear to use the theme music much to the effect of the Indiana Jones theme.
  • Mary Sue: Sarah MacKenzie skirts dangerously close to this. Harm dances back and forth over the line as well.
  • The Scrappy: Lt. Loren Singer is disliked by a good portion of the fandom.
    • No doubt intentional, as most of the cast didn't like her much either - she was a lying, manipulative, power-hungry bitch and something of a Smug Snake. And then she died and Harm got accused of her murder in the NCIS pilot episodes. He's lucky Gibbs was investigating...
  • Tear Jerker: At the end of season seven, Bud accidentally steps on a landmine, blowing his leg off under the knee. Season eight's opener almost has him die as a result. This is something of a Kick the Dog moment as well, given he was trying to warn a young boy away from landmines that the boy was fully aware of. Kid even tossed a rock at him.
  • The Woobie: Both Bud and Harriet may qualify for this - Bud especially after the seventh season finale.
