After being in the military for a while, I wonder how many military folks Aaron Sorkin spoke with before writing the play. He got the Marine ethos down pat, but some of the stuff is completely eye rolling. The “cocksucking” conversation that they have with a female officer is farcical even for t...

[quote] Beth just gets worse[/quote] She’s terrible. She goes on these manic diatribes where she blathers on and on but essentially says nothing and makes no point. And she’s a psycho. I’m on episode 2.4 and I really hate what they have done with Jamie’s character. Costner is a little eas...

I enjoyed watching it. I’d only heard of it and didn’t know anything about it until a few years ago. It was really good IMO. I’m not sure how much rewatch ability it has, but I liked it. And like the above poster said, it is in a beautiful setting. ...

The wife and I started this last week and have finished season 1. I was pretty underwhelmed. First of all, is all this horrible stuff happening in like a month? I remember them saying it was April at some point. They just straight up murder people. Most are folks who haven’t really done anyt...
