-Over There- Episode 1

Well lets see if i can keep track of what happened in each episode. OK tonight was the premire, and it was pretty neat. The soldiers were sent out, and you got to learn some of their stories. The guy with the glasses is having some trouble with his family, and leaves yelling at his wife. The lady that they call "double-wide" has a nice family, married with a 1 yr old boy. The one kid whos always asking about other peoples names he has a wife and a little kid. And thats all the family stuff u learn. Then you see them fighting in a desert field (or plain) and they are in trenches. The Insurgents are located ahead of them in a group of buuildings. When asked wat they are waiting for the sarge tells them the Al-Jazirid is with the insurgents and the general doesnt want to look bad on the news. They stay put. One of the two women, Ms.B (i think thats wat they call her) goes off to the side to use the bathroom. And of course she is spotted and a new firefight erupts. In the thick of combat the guy with glasses and the kid who doesnt have a nick name (Bo, I just remembered it) go out and rescue Ms.B . All three of them make it back to the trenches alive. The next day a sandstorm engulfs the plain, and the insurgents see it as the time to strike. The whole lot of them come running down toward the troopers, but supporting motar fire drives them back and in a full frontal assult the Troops retaliate and take the village and a number of prisonars. The Insurgent leader is loaded into a Bradley and taken off, not before screaming into the AL-Jizard camera about how the American will fail, etc. Later The troops are able to send video emails home. While they are at the camp "Angel" tell Bo that hes in a choir back home, and wrote a song about being there. The song used "over there" alot so you figure thats the main title theme. O yea "Dim" is the nickname of the guy with glasses. So they are being sent somewhere else and are traveling in a convoy over some highway out in the desert. Dim and Bo start to talk about Bo's name. Suddenly one of the drivers spots "some kid who just dropped something on the edge of the highway" they become suspicious and pull over. Unfourtunatly running over a hidden landmine. The landmine blows Bo's lead up pretty bad. (Really gruesome images) I couldnt tell if it was seperated, but if it wasnt its was barly staying together. This was probally the most dramatic scene of the whole episode. Bo's screaming in pain, the troops are telling the medics to give him more morphine, the medics are yelling that they cant for sum reason. (I also noticed that one of the medics is played by the red head boy who played the goalie in "The Big Green") A small medical helo shows up and gets Bo outta there. The chooper flys away and the credits start showing up on the screen as Angel's song is being sung. This show looks great saw the previews for the rest of the season and reconized one of the soldiers we havnt met yet as the guy who played Bull Randleman in "Band of Brothers". So far so good.
