I thought about watching something like Tora! Tora! Tora!, but I think I'll have a better time with Magnum instead. (Funny as both episodes use footage from the movie--maybe that's what got me thinking about Magnum)
I really like these two episodes; Lest We Forget is one of my absolute favorites of the entire series. The casting of Jose & Miguel Ferrer and June & Anne Lockhart is pure genius. Almost Home is not as memorable to me, but I'm looking forward to revisiting it. I do remember that Kathleen Lloyd's character in it is much more likable than Carol... The scenes at the Arizona memorial in both episodes choke me up pretty good, especially the wall of names and narration in Lest We Forget.

Mine too
I have always really liked Lest We Forget, and Almost Home is very good as well. The Ferrer boys and the Lockhart girls worked for me.

I watched Lest We Forget last night as I work my way through all the episodes (many of which I saw first run).
I was a USMC attorney based in Hawaii from 1999 to 2003. I saw Ford Island/Pearl Harbor being bombed during the making of 2001's Pearl Harbor movie.

Fantastic to have such a connection to a place when watching. This is one of my favourite episodes. Is it your first time through the series?502-to-right wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 10:58 pm I watched Lest We Forget last night as I work my way through all the episodes (many of which I saw first run).
