Over There, Week 2 The second episode of "Over There" still suffered from some Hollywood flaws, such as the torture sequence at the beginnng—it was a dream, right?— but I have to say, I found much of it gripping. The scenes involving the soldiers manning a roadblock were really unsettling; you certainly got the feeling of how easy it would be to shoot an innocent civilian, and how easily it would be to get killed by someone who looked like an innocent civilian.

I know the ratings for Week One of "Over There" were strong; I don't know what last night's were, but I hope they held up. This may be an imperfect depiction of war, but it's better than what the network news is showing—when they show anything at all.  ¶ 3:37 PM
