This episode felt familiar within the first fifteen minutes. And cementing it within the following five.
A new take of the classic series' first season episode, 'King of the Hill'. With Adam Beach replacing Yaphett Kotto as the damaged warrior in question.
PTSD replaces flash backs and shell shock suffered by Kotto as a Marine returning to Hawaii on leave. Realized in full force in Mr. Beach's performance of a SEAL who comes back from a jog to find his wife, whose sordid past is discovered after Mr. Beach flees onto the USS Missouri and in a panic, takes hostages.
Considering the source material, Ho'apono pans out and is executed quite well. With veteran actor, Robert Loggia as a tour guide and walking map of the battleship. And plenty for the rest of the team to do while McGarrett saves the day.

There is a reason why 'Masters of Science Fiction' didn't last a full season when first trotted out on ABC.
There's nothing in the collection of short stories badly translated to television that the original 'Outer Limits' and scant few Sci-Fi oriented episodes of 'Twilight Zone' from the 1960s didn't deliver with infinitely better precision.
'Masters of Science Fiction' more closely resembled the consistently bleak and down beat, over all inferior episodes of the re-vamped 1995 'Outer Limits'.
Though 'Masters of Science Fiction' no doubt boasts better talent and larger budgets. The screen writers, directors and cast should remember that when trying to deliver a 'message'. The subtlety of a feather works far more favorably than bludgeoning with a brick!

Considering that Steven Bochco was the brains and the muscle behind "Hill Street Blues", I had very high hopes for "Over There".
I was sadly disappointed. Maybe Bochco was looking for the anonymity of Hill Street by focusing on an unidentified Active, Guard or Reserve Unit sent to Iraq. Having been in Active and presently Reserve duty. The idea that no one knows one another's name or nickname within a unit is ludicrous.
Whoever is the "Technical Adviser" to the series hasn't a clue as to distance and interval while approaching an objective. Nor about Convoy Procedures (The vehicle in the lead is to be chased. Slowing down and pulling over is verboten! And in the case of an lamely marked IED actually going off; a Defensive Perimeter is immediately set to protect the stranded vehicle!)
That said, "Over There" is a lamely written and researched re-hash of "Combat!" or "Tour Of Duty". Though "Combat" and "Tour Of Duty" were infinitely better!
As soon as I heard that "Bo" had been a Quaterback in High School, I knew that he would lose a leg through some mishap. I wasn't disappointed.
The "Mosque" that was the squad's objective could have easily have been the Machine Gun Nest/Bunker/Listening Post from "Combat!" An essential, possibly Pyrrhic Victory.
In other words: Nothing really new and very poorly executed!
My suggestion would be to send a team of writers for "Over There" to either Letterman or Walter Reed Army Medical Center and talk to wounded returning soldiers from Iraq. Instead of depending on a hack's imagination!
