    The Bottom Line: "Superb"

    As the series continues and with each director change also comes a change in scenery and the travels of Easy Company. While this episode deals with Operation Market Garden. While this was one biggest Airborne Operations in history, Easy Company part was limited to their area of deployment and didn't suffer the casualties that their British Counterpart suffered. I like the fact that it was pointed out that even at the time some Allied Forces are a Rules Of Engagement orders. In this episode it shows how it cost them their lives and a quick swift victory. It also shows how tight of a group easy company was in terms of treating their replacements. In most units it was a same thing when new recruits have no time to learn (including officers) and gets killed before learning on how to survived.

    The Bottom Line: "Great"

    I am guessing with all the technology, one thing remains constant, the fragile nature of the human body. While some things kills us in an instant others kill us slowly. In this episode the fleet faces three. The usual one if the Cylons find them and wipe them out swiftly with nukes and blasts. The other is one we were made aware of in previous episodes but didn't really get into. The process of starvation and the slow lingering effects it has on people. The third is radiation. While some people are more immune to others, it eventually kills us all. This one episode does combine all thise threats quite nicely in one storyline and decisions made. There is dramatic sequences but very few action sequences.

    The Bottom Line: "Fair"

    Review this episode must have been one of the hardest for me to do. I really didn't like this episode in fact it was one of the few I would have skipped. Other than the boxing matches there was really no action in this episode. A lot of the sequences was in flash backs to events that happened sometime in the final episode of the season finale. While the idea of Military Boxing is always been part of history, to mix it up between the character development and love stories, it was hard to get really into the storyline like other episodes.

    Humor: Geekspotting

    Warning, grainy phone pictures ahead!

    For the past couple of years your intrepid writer has taken phone shots of random people in the Boston area that might be considered, well, geeks, nerds, and/or dorks. The original intent was for the Geek to Chic columns that typically appear herein, but once compiled they ended up becoming something entirely different: Geekspotting.

    Do not feel bad for these men and women. Their actions and attire were on public display, and therefore they have nobody to blame but themselves! Without further ado...

    BRING ON THE GEEKS OF BOSTON!


    I am in no way sitting this way to draw attention to myself. This is just SO comfortable.

    You know what would go great with this skirt? Spandex capris tights and flats! All men love a girl in spandex capris tights and flats; just look at how beautiful my legs look!

    Standing on the subway, eating, and PC gaming. No, he was not holding a handrail and - if you know Boston - this was the Green Line, whose ride is about as smooth and straight as an car with three wheels.

    10,000 points if you can name the game on the screen of the blurry, blurry image (click to enlarge blur).

    You know what would go PERFECT with my black pants? A black jacket, black shirt, black sneakers, and a black bag. Oh, and white socks.

    Leopard print? Really? Leopard print? Has leopard print ever looked good on anything other than a leopard?

    Every day working women face the difficult task to carefully construct an ensemble that is professional without crossing the line into sultry, sexy, and/or skanky. How do you know when someone steps over that line? When the subject of the above is a someone other than the gentleman in the center of the frame.

    Hey Mario, check out my super-awesome blue and orange backpack! I keep my tricorder and the panties I stole from the laundromat in the front pocket!

    Remember what I said about crossing the line from professional to sexy? Forget what I said. Repeat after me: Sexy is good, skanky is bad, except when it's not.
