    Why not go straight to the essentials?

    Just as things were getting interesting, they decide to bore us with another useless character centric episode. True it wasn't as whiny and filled with self indulgent bs, like that Hen episode was. But still, that's not why I've decided to keep watching. The thing with this show, is that it takes itself so seriously sometimes, it's very off putting. Which lacks honesty too. Obvious bait and switch...

    Wow just wow

    This episode has to be the best of the entire series in my opinion. It was so emotional it made me shed some tears.

    Kenneth Choi's Emmy Nominee episode (or should be)

    This episode highlights the range of Kenneth Choi's skills as an actor. I'm not a regular viewer of this show, but I'll watch it if nothing else is on. It was refreshing to see an entire episode about his character & back story. Kenneth Choi was the best part of this episode and I'm excited to see more of his work in the future. The second best part of the episode was Lou Ferrigno Jr. ;)

    SECOND BEST BEGINS EPISODE

    I LOVE THIS EPISODE AND IT MADE ME CRY BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED.

    Give Chimney the love he deserves!

    Hen vs. Chimney

    I get doing the back story thing. But did we really need to see Howie go through basically the same thing that Hen did as a rookie? Last year's episode Hen Begins was much better and more compelling.

      At the funeral, the flag handed off should have been tightly wrapped with no wrinkles and the end should have been tucked. The flag here had wrinkles and was not tucked.
