Review Part two is about the rude awakening Hastati Squad gets for it’s failure on the training field.

Immediately after the first scene of Cortana in thought, the episode cuts to Tom Lasky in bed.

Startled the squad gets dressed and heads out into the main hallway. (Let me tell you folks, it happens like this in boot camp. I recall being woken up like this or worse at 4am. It’s not pretty and you are very disoriented. Again, I know this form being in the NAVY.)

Orenski plays the part of a company commander well as she is barking orders at the freshly woken cadets.

Now in this next pic we see General Black. This is one thing I’d disagree with. It’s definitely not usual to have a commanding officer of a base be at a wake up call like this. I’d have to guess because it’s an officer cadet base and a smaller base that he would be there. Again though it’s not the norm for a commanding officer.

The squad is finishing up getting ready in a hurry.

Silva finishes getting ready first.

Vickers is next, but comes up short as he’s not completely ready.

Chen just completely fails and General Black calls him out on it:

Lasky is admonished from a,sight by Black regarding his brother Cadman being a real soldier.

The look on Tom’s face is very telling. He’s getting pissed off and frustrated by constantly being compared to his brother and living under his shadow.

This whole scene is completely believable, but for Black being there, but I can forgive that as important characters need to be present.

That last shot of Lasky makes me feel like there is going to be a change in Lasky and it happens in a scene coming up.
