We seem to go from fun, lighthearted in some episodes to deep and intense with STSNW following up with story-lines that mirror life in our world with perceptions from several centuries from now. Yet PTSD is still all too real in the veterans from the Klingon war. The deeper layers of torment from the horrors come forward in veterans under certain circumstances. It's why war isn't acceptable and is no solution with no winners, just profiteers. So it's the kind of episode that says "hey veterans, we get what your were called to do and what you've survived." In addition, there were/are nurses near the front lines that also have PTSD. Flashbacks are all too real. The character arcs and story lines unfolding throughout the series are really good.
The revelation and twist at the end was surprising. The last line is priceless. I think for some heroes that survive that line will speak to them, but I pray that it's not entirely true. In my work with veterans and active duty, I've witnessed lots of things that would contradict it. Admittedly, sadly, not always. Amazing performance by Babs. Well produced and directed.

Perhaps I'm showing my age here, but I got some great laughs out loud and thoroughly enjoyed this romp. First off, I feel like I've had these actresses as part of my life for 50 years. I mean really, Fonda, Keaton, Bergman and Steenbergen? So this isn't some great film like the ones they've done before. They play off each other well, hit their lines perfectly, look great even in silly outfits. Sure it'd be great if there could be some kind of classic film with all this talent on the screen, and so they had fun, went to Italy. I had fun watching them have fun.
How they managed to endure all the work of being on location, showing up to work at their ages, too, I mean come on, be kind about this film. Really showing that ageism is just plain silly, especially Hollywood that puts women out of pasture by age 40.
I so sick of these action films with little plot and acting; of deep dark dramas of dysfunctional people, violence, alcohol and drugs. There's something about "best friends, tough love" and going on an adventure together that's great. It's very 1st world, comedy, light, yes.
They are quite the tour de force and I'm so glad I've gotten to see them working still.
