- GoofsThey claim the US could do daylight bombing because of the Norden Bomb sight. The sight was imprecise in real use, and the company was brought up on charges of fraud. However, at the time the events take place the Army Air Force believed that the sight was accurate and chose its daylight aerial bombing strategy based on the notion that this secret tool would assist them.

Creating Connections - Episode 2 - "Part Two"
As always, this review is spoiler-free.
Episode 2 of the TV Epic Mini Series continues the story, as told through the diary of Harry Crosby. It does something to a greater extend than what episode 1 attempted to do: create connections. Not just between on-screen characters, but also between characters and the audience. By the end of the episode, most viewers will share a closer connection to the show's limited key personas. Understandably so, episode 1 left little time for in-depth exploration of the likes of Buck and Bucky. And while that exploration is more than welcome, it also reminds me of a more surfaced exploration, if you will. If episode 1 received 7 knots out of 10 rounded up from a 6.8, episode 2 earns a 7 rounded down from 7.2.
Improvement, yes, but little so. The show remains safe on character development, story archs and connecting with its audience. While having to stay true to source material, I have accepted that the present actors put on a mask, making any kind of emotional storytelling hard to pull off. And, of course, we have not yet been through the grief with this battalion. My heart longs for more dramatic events that allow the show and, as such, its audience to share a journey. Until that time arrives however, episode 2 feels like a shallow and, at times, tediously slow continuation of an already mediocre start.
