Kevin Biegel Reveals Favorite "Enlisted" Moment

[JamesG]

I’m most proud of the final scene in the last episode of "Enlisted". That show was real personal, and I didn’t make any secrets about bringing some of the heavy stuff from my own life into it.

That last scene of Pete and his brothers and then the rest of his platoon and Keith David on the beach was damn near cathartic. It sums up a lot of how I felt, how I felt Pete’s character felt, and brought him and those around him to a place of actual hope (which is just regular hope with the acknowledgement that things still suck and that healing will take time).

It also served as a pretty good end to the series!





And while it was real personal, it was also funny! And I did get that creator’s dream of writing the show off into the sunset. Of course there was collaboration (Mike Royce had the idea that Randy ran into the water, and I was like, great! And the rest can jump in, too!).

And hell, the show go to go out on a big hopeful joy bomb and Lori Laughlin is in it and Mel Rodriguez runs to her and M83 was cool enough to let us use the song and Keith David says something I believe to my core: “It’s OK to feel guilt. It’s OK to feel joy, too.”

That’s something I certainly needed to hear. And now it exists out there in the world and everyone else gets to hear it forever. If they want, you know… "Enlisted" DVDs are available at Amazon right now.
