[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 326417, member: 23"] [CENTER][B][SIZE=6]The Punisher[/SIZE][/B] [I][SIZE=5]Kandahar / Resupply[/SIZE][/I] [/CENTER] It strikes me that each of the four episodes to date have been different in tone and theme from one another. [I]Kandahar[/I] has numerous flashbacks to Frank’s time in Afghanistan with the troops dovetailing with Micro’s history, all linked by present-day scenes of Frank holding Micro prisoner. Almost every character seems to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder of some kind or another. These would seem to be the ties that bind. Lewis, with his foxhole in the back garden and firing a gun at his father after waking from a nightmare, is the most representative of this angle, and it’s very well done. One can almost feel his detachment, and the fact that he’s desperate to claw himself back onto a mission because he can’t deal with life on Civvy Street is tragic, poignant and very real. The threads are coming together very slowly, and I’m interested in many of these characters, even if I don’t actually [I]care[/I] about them. It’s certainly well-made enough that I feel I want to keep watching. [/QUOTE]
