Masters of the Air: Episode Discussion 5

In which we (hopefully) welcome directors Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck!

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.

The end scene with the men helping to put together the personal belongings of the men who hadn't come back was very well done.
You mentioned above the music in this ep, but I also really enjoyed how they used silence here! It made it all so grim and heartbreaking, as it should be.

This was like the aviation equivalent of watching "And Then There were None".
Such an apt description.
