A Most Telling Line....

I agree with so many posters that this was one of the best episodes yet. It was so dense with story and character and was a lot to absorb. There is so much to comment on, but one line in particular really resonated with me. When Greg tells Joan he's joined the Army, he says that he will be sent somewhere, maybe Viet Nam, "if that's still going on"....A very pointed piece of dialogue, that says without saying, what was to come; a 14 year, never-declared, senseless war.
