That was like an actual hour of television with dramatic tension and emotional stakes and characters the camera could identify and follow. Crosby gets kicked upstairs to send his friends to die! Rosenthal pilots a bomber like an ace and can hum a memorable klezmer besides! Lemmons remains good with kids! The shots of the bunks and gear of all the men who won't be coming back for them are appropriately somber without being slushy. This may in fact be the first episode in some time where I can remember taking note of specific images as more than plot information: the wall of German fighters, the air full of fragments of falling B-17s. The music was also nicely welded into the clusterfuck and it wasn't all Shepard tones. What took the show so long?
