Berger: I think hopefully they're along for the ride with the larger Vietnam story that we've done this season, and I think that if you're going to embark on telling a war story throughout a season you have to not be afraid to let things get dark sometimes or you wouldn't be telling a truthful version of the story. But we've tried to make it feel in the world of our show, and we tried to give the audience that glimmer of hope in terms of seeing a son not make the mistakes that his father made, and make a new choice, and hopefully move his family toward healing and in this new direction as we move forward. So, yes, this got very dark, but we hope people will stick with us because there's a lot of light still to come.
Aptaker: And I think they will. I think audiences are so sophisticated nowadays and they have so much choice that people give up on a show not when it takes a turn into something a little darker than they were expecting, but when it starts to feel false or it doesn't take risks. Hopefully people will feel like we've told a story where our characters behave in a way that's very organic to the people we've presented up until now, and that while this one was an episode that's maybe the heaviest we've ever done, there will be episodes that are lighter than we've ever done. The show is about the experience of being a human alive in the world, and that comes with really, really dark upsetting moments, and really, really joyous ones. The show covers all of that.
All of our writers on the show are heavily and deeply formed by tragedy. It’s, like, a prerequisite.
