Under the Rock worst ever

I thought it was fascinating, it was one of my favorites.

I thought it was a great episode. One of the marines (Damian, I think) was super hot! I sure hope nothing happens to him.

It was a good episode. I found it scary yet believable, and it was sad by the end when it was revealed some of the other Marines died after being at the outpost :( R.I.P. to them.

I really liked it too, strong episode. It's good that every episode isn't a cookie cutter style, as it makes their story more realistic

Yeah, this was the best episode of the year. It was different from the cookie-cutter formula.

My only problem with this episode is that I get the feeling that the actors needed a bit more training with firearm handling. There were a couple of times where when they were following each other, they had the rifles pointed at the guy in front of them or doing strange up and over actions - I think it's basic firearm safety to never point at someone unless you mean to shoot them or deter them from doing something.

Personally, Under the Rock was my favorite episode by far this season. Until their last night at the OP base, they experienced some paranormal happenings but nothing like some of the BS we see in other episodes. The visions and sounds they heard their last night was intense. Also, the fact that there were a handful of Marines who can corroborate each others' stories does have an air of credibility. Now, they were also in an OP base far out in the middle of BFE nowhere for two months, with nothing really to do but sit and observe, and call in any possible enemy movement. I am sure their nerves were a little on edge from a mix of boredom, fatigue from the elements, and of course being behind enemy lines in a combat zone... not to mention the history of the rock. I am sure all of that may have had some power of suggestion, especially if you are on guard duty in the middle of the night and looking into complete blackness for hours on end your mind might play some tricks on you. However, the fact that several marines all had similar experiences could mean that they were experiencing paranormal activity. Also, the last night at the OP does scream of the normal cliche of Paranormal Witness having all the ghostly encounters culminate into one giant climax right at the end. But the marines did talk about hearing a a machine gun going off and the sound or RPGs or mortars being lobbed at them. Perhaps they were actually under attack, and the enemy slipped away back into the night? But they said they found no evidence. Who knows what they experienced, but given the history and location it could be both paranormal activity with a bit of power of suggestion. Then again I am not going to call their story into question.

Slightly OT: As a World War II history enthusiast I have always wondered about possible paranormal experiences that soldiers may have had during the conflict, or right afterwords. There are hardly any stories at all, I mean besides the whole Foo Fighters thing and disappearing ships stories. I am talking front line soldiers having similar experiences to the Marines in last week's episode. In places like France where many wars have been fought for millennium, and where there were large scale battles at the early stages and later stages of World War II (sometimes on top of battles fought 25 years earlier), some soldiers must have had some paranormal experiences. I mean places on the Eastern Front where millions of soldiers and innocent civilians died from very barbaric and tragic forms of warfare must have some stories. However, although World War II is the most written about period in human history, the vast majority of veterans would never open up about such experiences - which is understandable. It would be interesting though.
