after watching his film, it seems to me that he was obedient to every role, I think a great hero to succeed!
I beg your pardon, the meaning of my message can get distorted

oches, you use Google Translate, right? I hate when it doesn't translate correctly. Anyway, Tom looks like an interesting character, and I trust that Noah can portray him well. Also, Raffy- that banner is gorgeous.

4 episodes in, and what do we know about Tom? He is an optimist, but it may well be a cover to not have to face the truth. That latter aspect starts to make him really interesting, imo. First 3 episodes, he was presented too much as the perfect hero, though with quite heavy hints that his motives can be all about his family, and not 'for the greater good'. What we know about his knowledge of History goes in the optimistic trend also. American fairly 'ancient' history. As far as I could tell, he has not yet quoted any recent events in History. His speech about smaller forces beating strong ones is highly optimistic, and very America-centered. It's interesting that Pope gave a counterpoint when talking about natives. Now I do realize that it's hard to put that in an american show, but it would have been very daring if, talking about 'smaller forces', he could have mentioned let's say... Vietnam, or talibans in Afghanistan. I don't like his seemingly optimistic and naive vision of war. "We don't shoot the kids". Indeed, that's the noble thing to do, but it's not realistic all the time. Many Wehrmacht soldiers at the end of WWII were what? 15-16?... it didn't save them. Did the Allies think twice about what to do? I'm not a huge history-buff but I didn't read things going in that direction. I really do hope that the show will tackle very tough questions in a context of war, and having Tom talk about a dark vision of war, as opposed to what we've heard him say so far, would be a good way to do so, and to give some depth to this character...
