I recently learned (because someone had checked Wikipedia, and I had not) that there will only be 9 episodes, not 10 like the other series :'(

Rules:
  1. Don't be a dick. Specifically (but not limited to):

    1. Not liking something is fine, and negative comments are fine. Please do not directly tell other participants why the thing they like is bad or that they are bad for liking it.

    2. Kink shaming will be deleted.

    3. Racism, homophobia, transphobia, antisemitism, misogyny, etc will be deleted.

  2. Discussing material from the books is fine, but if you're going to discuss something that happens in future episodes, or the fate of historical characters, please put it under a cut and title the comment Book spoilers! or something similar.

  3. Likewise, wanting to treat the show as a self-contained unit and not engage with the books/history is perfectly valid.

I thought that this one was probably one of the stronger ones, given that the whole plot was we fly the planes, which fit into a fairly coherent structure. Plus the flying the plane bits are the most coherent parts of the show.

But the amount of men and material the army spent on all this really is staggering, especially as the submarine pen raids did bugger all, and they knew they did bugger all.

I really don't know why the women in England both American and English don't get more screen time. It's just really shallow?

Very sad about Curt :(
