The scene where Sledge finds the badly wounded woman in the hut on Okinawa and she begs him to finish her off, it moved me to tears - humanity, redemption, love, tenderness - beautiful acting from Mazzello and Kaoru Sato. Bravo! There was no dialogue but both actors conveyed so much despair, pity and connection. It was the jewel of a scene in a well crafted episode in a beautifully constructed series. I also think Rami Malik as Snafu Shelton was an amazing character who lived in the skin of the part. So many great cameos made the whole series a delight. High production values. My only gripe is that I think the writers back-projected 21st century values into the period too much and this was, at times, unwarranted.
