"Over There" Premieres tonight!
The new series about Iraq and the soldiers who fight the war. I cant wait. Looks like another winner for the FX Channel. Man, they are really starting to crank out the great shows these days!

Wow. Holy shit.
I thought that was pretty damn good...but I might be a little too close to that stuff, to be able to enjoy it. Any show that starts a firefight with a woman taking a dump, and cuts a guy in half whose bottom half keeps walking...pretty much has a grappling hook on me. |

I missed the first part of it but saw a portion of the ending. Some Thoughts....
The "Damn Straight that stuff happens" award goes to the heartfelt message that the soldier sent home and then a cut away once it gets home to his wife screwing some other dude. And the dude looking like he was in the army/marines with the buzzcut. I think anyone who has been in the military has a story or two about how some dude or some female soldier/sailor was getting "screwed" by the significant other. The "Damn I cant believe they showed that on tv" goes to at the end when the convoy stops and the truck stops on the mine and blows the hell out of the truck, they showed the medic trying to move the dude's leg and showed a portion of it detach...DAAAAMMMNNN!!! Good thing I wasnt eating. See I might have missed some of the other stuff from earlier in the show so I can only talk about what I saw but I hope they do a repeat so I can see it from start to finish. Obviously if I saw the walking lower extremity that would trump the leg detachment. |

So far it has some pretty cliched characters and one of the chicks voice is really irritating. The action sequences were well done though and overall it was much better than I was expecting.

Good show.
For a lot of people this war won't be real until there's a China Beach/MASH to 'splain it all to them.

Good Show......Im not sure if i can watch it every week as it will probably just be too damn depressing and real to watch. Its not like there is a happy ending right around the corner anytime soon...
