Howdy folks,

First of all, thanks for the warm welcome Dave. I am flattered. I get most of my knowledge of OTR from listening, listening, listening! That and the fact that I spend WAY too much money building up my OTR book library (36 books and counting). Anyway, enough about me....

Since we are supposed to be honest in our evaluations of the episode, I will try to be from the start. When the show first started and it was revealed that this was a "war incident" episode, I thought to myself "oh, man, not another one." I think the "secret among war buddies" stories have been overdone to the point of being just plain boring, especially since Vietnam. That was my general thoughts on the episode for the first two acts. The third act, however, was when it all came together and the mystery unravelled. As much as I was initially turned off by the war buddies theme, by the time the third act got under way, I HAD to hear how it turned out! That, I think, is what makes a good story good. It holds your interest until you reach the point where you just have to know what happens next. I knew something was up with the lawyer (Tom) and that he was more central to the story than just the so-called "voice of reason". I didn't think of it until Dave mentioned it in his review about how Eddie would have murdered an innocent man had he accomplished what he set out to. Obsession can be dangerous and blinding, as seen in the character of Eddie. Overall a pretty good episode. One I will "remember" (and no, I'm not dead) :?
