I know most of all the Powell episodes must be taken with a grain of salt and some of them are not to be taken seriously, but this is the episode that I really liked the most.
While the underlying message is a political statement itself, it is really interesting at first. I know the Powells never had the same warmth we see with the Pembrokes, but the statement here really seemed pretty interesting to me. I know, they don't have the emotional impact when explaining politics in general...but here is what I liked.
I liked how Sarah felt strongly about nuclear weapons by both ships carried them. She felt it was wrong. Even when Charles' statement goes something like: "If you are not proud as to what your country is doing, protest." She followed his advice and the message is really interesting. Even if you disagree with the government handling nukes, you have every right to disagree with the government since the Constitution gives you the right.
While this is unbelievable and I agree, some statements are a little hard to swallowed, but I thought the episode was interesting to. I know it is more Russia/USA nuke years, but it almost held an interesting message at the end. While Scott is a conservative Republican himself and I am not sure he wrote it, but he did a great to make me think about as to who has the bigger nukes now in this day and age. While this show is dated a bit and I agree it is, but the statement intrigues me still. Of course, this may not be everyone's fave episodes. It is just the way the show presented itself in this episode. I found it interesting, but you can all disagree with me on that. I am not going to argue and I am not going to say you are wrong.
