Lewis Nixon III

Yeah, really warm colour.

Yeah, Nixon or someone, I think, hits his neck where there's obviously a mosquito or something on there.

And it's so bright.

And I guess it's, you know, in the sunshine, but also in peacetime as well.

And we see the way that Compton realises and shouts out for Doc Rowe.

And that gets me every time, because again, it's that additional layer that's been put onto Compton to push him to his breaking point.

We see that Lipton has to go and tell Winters and Nixon what's happened.

And Winters asks where Dyke is, as he would have expected to have got that news from him.

false optimism again yeah

exactly false optimism but you know Winters and Nixon I kind of know better than that and they're like they can't completely surrender to that feeling because the objective has not disappeared simply because everyone's celebrating they've they've got bridges to secure and I love that tension and civilians understandably experience liberation as an ending.

The soldiers have to recognise that militarily it's only part of the journey and David Nutter, the director, uses that brilliantly because he lets the episode almost become euphoric here and that makes Neuenen hurt far more when the emotional weather changes.

Yeah, an interesting fact here.

But again, we see how deep that friendship is.

you know winters has seen hundreds of men sadly die and has been able to keep going but we see a vulnerability in him almost yeah as nixon he goes down to check he's okay nixon even says to him he's like quit looking at me like that so there is we've actually seen a i don't say human because that makes it sound like he hasn't been human before but we definitely see a uh different side to winters i think

yeah and and it just goes to show that i think that the loss of Nixon would have been, I think, quite devastating for Winters.

Because there's definitely like, not so much the bromance side but they as the their relationship is quite pivotal um throughout yeah they complement each other perfectly throughout the throughout the series and you know i i love the fact that he's like quit looking at me like that yeah and it's it's almost like once again it's that moment of levity in a situation which is really serious and it it brings back that other theme that we have that people people die randomly in war yeah and it could have been nicks you know winters himself
