Back where "Fathers and Sons" ended...

7.9

By Parricida, Oct 29, 2007

Maybe this is the ending what was left.. Mark and the trouble with his family is not over yet...I adore the diversity.. and the variety in that family.. different views.. the position both the father and mother is.. the soldier's family... I enjoyed viewing the troubles, they way the story is build.. the way Mark cannot find no peace.. the way he sees problems everywhere and want to solve them, only making this worser.

And Cynthia... maybe surprising but she seems to fit in.. play that perfect housewife role.. but that is not what Mark wants... and more conflict.. more not ended clues. But enjoyable episode with deeper look into Mark and into his past.moreless
