"Some men value their enemies more than their friends"
hindsonevansmike12 July 2019
Harm's comment, as the last act of this episode (the penultimate episode in Season Two's short run) provides a rational view of the rivalry between the two ships' captains.

Tense action sequences, Mac using her Russian language skills and a useful look back at the old Cold-War rivalries make this an above-average 42 minutes of action.

The Bellisarius policy of recycling actors gives us a first glimpse of the friendly Russian face who will, over the years, appear as Capt. Alex Volkonov / Pilot / Commander Yuri Kretchiak.

Most of the characters survive the adventure. The final denoument in the explosive finale uses stock footage of a Falkland Islands explosion on board a Royal Navy ship back in 1982.

"Cowboys & Cossacks"

Warning: Spoilers
In "Cowboys & Cossacks", the penultimate episode of JAG's second season, Harm and Bud are on a Russian warship whilst Mac remains on the USS Cayuga as war games exercises take place. The two opposing captains have a history - and we learn a little about Rabb's career as a fighter pilot, too - and are seemingly hell-bent on using the wargames as a way to settle a score. But the Russian captain goes too far: a plot device I've seen used a time or two before. It's up to Harm and a sympathetic Russian to save the day and prevent an incident that would lead to World War Three. A good episode with a few funny moments throughout.
