I definitely have a lot more excitement going into this episode than the previous ones. I really think that a lot has to do with Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck.
My thoughts:
Great music in this one as well.
Landing in German territory and having the citizens be openly hostile was really interesting. Great tension there. When it escalated to killing the POWs while under German guard, that genuinely surprised me.
Love the humor of american english v. british english in subaltern.
A woman with a speaking role! More please. I haven't seen Bel Powley in anything for a while, so it was nice to see her here.
The contrast of the flack house and Bucky's experience was well done and highlighted the complete opposites of genuinely being in fear of Bucky's life and Rosenthal's desire to get back (even though he absolutely needed time off). I like the discussion between Dr. Huston and Rosenthal and working through Rosenthal's feelings about how he should be able to keep everything in.
"Baseball is still a bit of a mystery to me." Me too.
The train scene with the women was so hard to watch, but I'm glad that they included it.
Bucky seeing Buck at the end felt very emotional. It was well done.
It was interesting seeing that the luftwaffe controlled the POW camp. In the US (I believe) it was all administered by the same department, so I'm surprised that it wasn't the same in Germany.
I still think that the show is trying to do too much at once and follow too many people. I think I would have appreciated it more if they had stuck to one main character (or at least one main character per episode). But while I did like episode 5 better than this one, I do think that these two felt cohesive together and I enjoyed them more than 1-4.
