Easily the best episode of the series, for the simple reason it focuses on the most interesting character arc. Seda's perfect hero and Badge Dale's warrior/poet are, from a purely narrative point of view, not nearly as compelling as Mazzello's Sledge, who faces here a nightmarish transmogrification from decent, idealistic young man into something truly frightening. Rami Malek is likewise phenomenal as Sledge's caustic friend "Snafu".
Even if the last scenes focus on hope and the recovering of humanity, I certainly didn't expect the series - fairly conventional up to this point - to portray the ugly face of war (and its effects even on good people) in such a disturbing way. So, kudos for that.
8,5/10
