Mediocre Episode - And That Is Being Kind
24 February 2015
Warning: Spoilers
If you have watched several dozen episodes as I have, from first through this one, this is probably one of the worst, if not the worst, to date. Disjointed for most of the episode, with some unintended hilarity if you think about it; in scenes like the tractor scene or the machine gun scene.

Waste of time too were the third rate WW I scenes, and how did a man who ran from battle, sentenced to death for cowardice, ever earn a name on the plaque of fallen heroes? Outrageous, as nothing suggested that he was anything but what he had been convicted of. In fact it was misleading as one might have thought that there was some conspiracy maintained through several generations that would be unraveled during the episode, but it was in fact filler for feuding families and that is all, and haven't we seen that before on this show? The feuding families that is.

Any number of earlier episodes bear multiple viewings, this not being one of those, unless you wish to see what bad is over again. The denouement was pure rubbish too.
