David Soul portrays future Chief Justice John Marshall (here as just Captain Marshall) while Danny Bonaduce clone Mitch Vogel plays the annoying tag-along Tad who nearly cajoles our band of rebels into the deadly noose because of his meddling. This one felt like an excuse to get the guest actors' names out there for promotional purposes more than the story itself.

The story of the capture of Nathan Hale is told using quite a liberal interpretation, I might add. In this version his cousin Samuel (as a British soldier) betrays and arrests him - which may or may not be true, but the story holds up for a while...at least until another overwrought ending. Brandon De Wilde's performance as Nathan Hale is not very inspiring, either.

The first episode that really digs hard into the bloody realities of war, distancing itself from the rah-rah claptrap of the previous two episodes. My guess is the ongoing spectre of Vietnam played a part into shaping the plot of this one. John Colicos guest stars as the ruthless British colonel. Compelling from start to finish.

This is the pro wrestling of reality TV. Like wrestling before it got really mainstream and ran on Saturday mornings, but even a step down from those jobbers.

I'm guessing the "unfavorable reviews" from Metacritic glossed over this is based on Andy Summers' OWN MEMOIR...but that's ok. And if it's a loose representation, it's a very endearing one.
