I'm going to be so pissed if anything happens to George. He's so set up for tragedy but please show please.

Goddamn that was not what I was expecting but it was super good. I was not expecting them to do a whole episode focused on a character we kind of knew about and then all the stuff with Atticus being kind of a total bastard in the war

Yeah I spent a moment trying to convince myself it wasn't him but drat.

Good episode and I've always liked Jamie Chung so it was cool to see her carry an episode like that.

Its especially weird to complain that Ji-Ah developed feelings for Tic when she very clearly expresses she is tortured by and struggling with that exact internal conflict.

Almost as if shes a complex character or something.

It's frustrating. The entire second half of the episode is about two people who's environments have turned them into monsters they don't want to be, and clinging onto each other in the hope that they don't have to be that.

And it's not accidental that every other American solider besides the three involved with the nurses is a white rear end in a top hat. The MPs that watch the hanging, the solider who refuses the nurses, and the soldiers whistling at Ji-ah when she goes on base.

Nice omission of the only other soldier character with a real speaking part, Tic’s Korean-American friend, who we see go to lengths to both protect his cred with the Americans (out of self-preservation no doubt) and to help Tic out with his mystery date.
Yes he is one of the three I mentioned who also went at the nurses. The point being the military turned two otherwise good people into monsters.
