[Afamilyatwar-list] Don’t Mine Me

[Scott Filderman]

In Episode 38, in which the military man and civilian woman stroll down the (signed) minefield and, in spite of Tony’s agonized shouting to come back, get themselves blown up, I wondered if this was a “metaphorical” death (relative to the many relationships in the series that blow up) or a “realistic” one (strange that a military man should ignore such a plain warning and head toward a Wagnerian Liebestod)? Yes, people die all sorts of unexpected ways in war, but this isn’t a documentary, it’s a planned series, and so.... (And again, to say what a wonderful series Mr. Finch created!)
