Did anyone feel sorry for Captain Darling?
Did anyone else feel any sympathy towards Captain Darling in the final episode when he learns he's going to be sent to the front line to go over the top in the next big push? I know he was a slimy, brown nosing suck up but when I look back on it I can't help but feel just a bit sorry for him. Just watching him break down is quite sad and in a way quite haunting. It's so sad during that scene when there's just no laughter what so ever from the audience. Yes, Melchett's being oblivious to the fact that Darling doesn't want to go over the top that could be seen as a attempt at humour but still, never the less.
