Go drives the plotline in a second-season episode of JAG entitled “The Game of Go.”
“Harm and a Colombian drug lord play a high-stakes game 
of
go, with the prize being a Marine who was left behind during a covert
mission, as Webb and the JAG team once again butt heads,“ reports Dave
Holland.
“My recollection of the episode is that several moves were spread out over the unfolding of 
the
plot with closeups of the contested part of the board. It represented
middle game fighting. A little far-fetched for a US Navy lawyer and a
drug kingpin to be such accomplished players but good exposure for the
game nevertheless.“ Note that the moves are played inside the board
squares rather than on the intersections.
“I enjoy the EJ’s ‘Go Spotting’ column as
go has a way of showing up in unexpected places,” says Holland. “I live
in Minneapolis and recently met a young player from northern Minnesota
whose grandfather learned baduk during the Korean War. He also went to
high school with Bob Dylan.“
