EPISODE REVIEWS

I liked how the episode showed the different perspectives of the characters. Some people wanted to save the lives of the soldiers. While others were willing to sacrifice lives for a greater purpose. As the story approaches its conclusion, the tension and the problems faced by the characters continue to intensify.

This was a breakthrough but more importantly it's a reality check for the people involved in the war. Sad and emotional for some, cheering up and staying positive for some. Don't expect any fights or strategies, just go with the flow.

Bleak and depressing. That's pretty much the entire episode summed up. But somehow they manage to cheer up and make it positive towards the end. I think episodes like this are necessary in between to bring us back to reality. Like, it didn't even have any other politics. Just people recovering what was lost.
