I agree completely. It felt like they had an idea for the apache scene and had to figure out a way to shoe horn it into the story line at the end.

For S3 can we dispense with the looking up in the sky and crying after every battle because she misses her family?

Either quit the job or whip some ass. I felt like she got weaker in S3

Pretty sure that was by design. Not disagreeing that it was kind of annoying. But I think it's a bit of possible foreshadowing, or setting up for her to become a "desk jockey"…and maybe her finally realizing that's what needs to happen to save her marriage. Who knows though.

Can't star this enough. Jo acted like a belligerent ******* when talking to senior operators/officers but then walked around with tears in her eyes and boo-hooing after every operation. Act like the leader you're supposed to be. It's also amazing that her life-threatening wound healed up fast enough for her to participate in chaotic combat. Other than her character (and I know she's the main character), I enjoyed watching the series.

We didn't even get that. All of the talk about an Apache Pilot and she only ever flies a Little Bird and Blackhawk. Those are both bad ass, but they're not an Apache.

Just got done watching this. Loved a lot of things about it really was entertained, despite some of the highrolling moments.

I also learned something new about Taylor. Sheridan

I got a free Paramount sub this week and was trying to get through at least season 1, made it through about five episodes and that's about all I could take.
My biggest gripe is that he has no idea how to truly write tough female characters here. His answer in every single argument or conversation is to just drop an F bomb, not a single other swear word is ever used, just F this F that. It's comically lazy writing, anyone who swears throws every word at you. And F bombs don't equal "tough" anyway. His backup plan is to make sure they're in charge of everything. As if power equals toughness.
Then there is the fact that they spend more time discussing top secret stuff in restaurants than offices (does anyone even have one?) to try and make it interesting, including trying to woo a senator or congresswoman that they could, I don't know, do a formal committee brief for? Zoe's character is literally two different people home and away in a way that isn't all all realistic, her surgical husband has time to be a stay at home dad I guess, except the one time he's actually at his job and can't do it well. And that's before all the girl power stuff. I don't mind female centric movies or roles and actually enjoy a lot of them, but we are beaten over the head with it here. But good news is I got to that point before my free sub was up. So 8 dollars saved. I'm rich!

I did not like episode one, except for first few and last few minutes.

I tried to like this show & I even know some people that were extras on it, but I just can't get into it.

Main character gets tons of people killed disobeying ordersl, zero consequences.

Main character said she outranks anyone on any military base she is standing on...

Cruz can beat any 225lb Delta Operator that she encounters, in a fight.

Sheridan puts himself in the show.....as a Delta Operator....of course.

It is extremely laughable in many situations. You could tell a great story about women doing these kinds of missions if they didn't go so hard into girl-boss mode all the time. It gives me whiplash going from Zero Dark Thirty-like stuff and them jumping into MCU-like stuff.

It's like... make up your mind. Are we going gritty CIA grounded stories or is Black Widow running around kicking everyone's ass like a super-hero?

ETA: Spoilers for the end of S1: I actually liked the assassination scene of the HVT. The full-on surprise and brutal stabbing is the type of **** someone like this could really pull off well. Not man-handling a Delta operator. I remember being impressed with that scene. No hesitation... it was shocking and brutal.

Agreed, I could see the ending of S1 happening as well....some of the rest of it, not so much.

I was really disappointed in this episode. I do not want to watch 40 minutes of Taylor playing army. I guess this is his new version of the spinning horses.

And I am really confused about the kidnapping. Was that to take part in the past or in the future?

The kidnapping is present day. Everything else was a flashback.

Do you have trouble following the plot in episodes of Bluey too? Jesus.

I thought the first episode was really bad. So bad I may just give the show up.
