Tour of Duty 118+119+120+121
Jul. 12th, 2015 01:58 pmThe Short Timer... where Taylor has only a few days left of his tour and he realizes that he has nothing to go home to, that all of his friends, his family, is in Vietnam. Taylor has always been an interesting character but this episode made me fall a little bit in love with him. Because I felt his struggle and I understood his decision to stay, to become a lifer. And honestly, when you know what happens to all the characters who actually make it home at the end of the show instead of enlisting again, you realize that his decision was wise
Paradise Lost... where Myron's unit discovers a Montagnard village and inadvertently causes a tragedy. I loved the moment where Zeke decided to go back and help the people and Myron stopped him and Zeke got all angry because he thought that Myron planned on letting the people rot, when all Myron wanted was to tell him that they would ALL go, even though it went against all their orders.
Angel of Mercy... where Myron's unit captures a VC general, Myron is shot and Baker finds a frog in his pants - no, that's not a euphemism. I really, really, really loved how protective Zeke was of Myron in this episode. The way he was all, "This is my LT and you will take care of him, now!" was truly wonderful. Also, Myron and Nikki's relationship got first major cracks in this ep.
The Hill... where Myron's unit keeps storming the same hill, over and over again, and both he and his men stop understanding why, the point of this futile action. I think this episode illustrated most profoundly the frustration of the men fighting in Nam: winning ground and giving it up again, having their wives and GFs at home abandon them, having the world see them as baby killers and nothing more. Like any of that was actually their fault. Terrible. And also, Nikki breaks up with Myron. Honestly? Good riddance. I mean, they were both lieutenants. What did she expect would happen when she started dating him? That he would sit on his butt behind a desk when there were good men dying in the field? Eh. Never understood her.
And this concludes season 1 of Tour of Duty. Now what?

Las Vegas 101+102+103+104
Jul. 12th, 2015 11:26 pmBorn in Las Vegas... where Danny sleeps with Delinda, Big Ed's daughter, without realizing who she is. Big Ed threatens Danny with a fork. Mayhem ensues. The best part of this episode was the reveal that everybody in-the-know knows Danny and really likes him so that basically everybody is always willing to help him out. Also, loved the bit where Delinda's mother told Big Ed that she knew he wasn't angry because Danny slept with Delinda but because he hoarded Danny for himself, his protege, his surrogate son, and he was afraid that Delinda would take Danny away from him. That was lovely.
What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas... where Danny and Mary's old high school friend is found murdered and Danny goes on a warpath to find his killers, despite Big Ed's attempts to dissuade him from it. Luckily, the local cops like Danny just as much as everybody else and give him a pass, even when they probably shouldn't. Loved that Big Ed actually called Delinda to comfort Danny when he was so distraught over his friend's death.
Donny, We Hardly Knew Ye... where Delinda breaks up with Danny and Danny has to play the bait in a stolen car deal. I loved the scene where Danny admitted to Big Ed that Delinda dumped him. And Big Ed finally revealed to him the reason for why he didn't want Danny dating Delinda: not because he wanted to protect Delinda, but because he was afraid she would hurt Danny - as much as Ed loves his daughter, he's the first to admit that she's a flighty air-head.
Jokers and Fools... where Big Ed asks Nessa to lure out a gambling gang - and he doesn't tell Danny. You could see how hurt Danny was when he realized that Big Ed played him. Danny's whole speech about "If I were less secure in my relationship with you, I would think you didn't trust me" was said as a joke but you could see that he actually meant it.
Yes, Josh Duhamel is pretty as a picture and the reason for why I got this show on DVD. I also really love his character's, Danny's, relationship with Big Ed. It's sweet.
