Jinx

Episode Number: 25    Season Num: 2    First Aired: Friday January 17, 1997    Prod Code: 0203
Harm risks his life to prove that an F-14 squadron is not jinxed after there have been six fatal mid-air accidents, including one that killed his best friend.

During Mac and Harm's investigation into the "curse" of the squadron, they learn that the rumor of a jinx stems from an accidental bombing of an Iraqi mosque during Desert Storm. Now only one of the fliers involved in the bombing is left, and Harm has no choice but to fly with him in order to restore the squadron's confidence. However, when a mid-air refueling goes awry and Harm is seriously injured, it seems that the squadron may be jinxed after all.

Quotes

Bud: Does that mean you're not mad at me anymore, sir?
Harm: I was never mad at you, Bud. It's Mac that's always complaining about you. (edit)
Harm: If we eject, this jinx lives on forever! (edit)
Josh Pendry: What do you think my call sign should be? Snake, Spike or Fang?
Harm: I don't know, let me see you smile. No fangs, how about Munchkin?
Josh Pendry: What about when I grow?
Harm: Change it? (edit)
Bud: A black cat? Interesting mascot. (edit)
Harm: (to Lt. Ayers) If God was seeking vengeance, you'd be dead. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Goof: After arrival at Miramar, Bud apologizes to Harm that Mac just informed him that the pilot in the previous F-14 crash was a good friend of Harm's. That poses a question as to how Mac knew that information, since Lt. Austin was Harm's partner in that investigation, not Mac. (edit)
Goof: After Harm's cockpit canopy is smashed, he and Ayers continue to fly with their masks off - one would have thought that wearing oxygen masks would have made things easier in that situation... (edit)

Allusions

add »
The pilot whose call sign is "Spock" shares the name with Leonard Nimoy's Vulcan character on "Star Trek." (edit)
