The official endorsement is supposed to be why they are actually more than halfway accurate about AF protocol. The job that Jack had in Wormhole X-treme kinda exists.
Mal: Zoe, why do I have a wife? Jayne: You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining. How come you got a wife?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It was Air Force in the original movie, so they went with it. :-)
The only armed force less likely to show up in a TV series is probably the Coast Guard... or maybe the Merchant Marine.

None of the other armed forces makes any sense either. Maybe they're the ones who offered Katherine's father the most research support?
It seemed like every time I turned on La Femme Nikita, it was either a) Nikita angsting over Michael, b) Michael angsting over Nikita, c) Michael using Nikita's love for him for some Section-related intrigue, or d) just after such a betrayal, Nikita putting on a brave face and leaving that life behind, after which a). Which isn't to put the show down. It just... well, it made me think Nikita was really damn stupid. But I liked Burkhoff.

Oh, she was. The show hinged on it.

Oh, and Callum Keith Rennie. Although come to think of it, his character was rather... eh? Nice, and all, and cute-little-girl-having, but hardly memorable except for having architectural models in his house.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Well...yeah. What's your point?
What, you wanted plots that made sense? Continuity that didn't make you want to put your eyes out?

Missing in action since 2002...
Except I don't think joining the Navy makes you automatically 6'4", beefcake, and Canadian.
One, I don't believe that anyone on any of those shows are actually 6'4".
Two, what if you're already two of three?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
But I liked Burkhoff.
He's the techie guy, yes? The young one, rather than the ponytailed one?

Oh, surely they've shown up. On Baywatch, or Miami Vice, or some other show that would incorporate drugrunning.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
They've shown up on CSI Miami.

There you go!
Now, the Merchant Marine I have more trouble with.
