Evensong - a thought-provoking allegory

Dogfights - I caught a portion of this show on the History Channel, and was riveted immediately - what I saw took veteran's accounts of their own experiences, and translated them to CGI dogfights that are intense, like Top Gun, say, but with that quality that makes you want to jump up and crow and duck and tense like Operation: Red Flag and Abnett's Double Eagle. I think I may actually get the dvd's of this at some point, it's exciting, and real. The last image I saw before I had to run out the door was of a Crusader gunning through a turn back from the A-4's it was escorting to pull a rear-guard against a sky-darkening wing of MiGs, with flak and missile contrails and falling fireballs and arcing tracers flaring past the screen. Hell, my lips are pulled back from gritted teeth just thinking about it, I love things that make me want to cheer the main 'character' on.

Biggest diamond ever.
