Reply #207: 9 Hours on Baseball without a mention

of the Pacific Coast League. Methinks he can sometimes be a little provincial in his outlook: it was as if nothing existed west of the Rockies.

The Civil War was groundbreaking and effective, but I've been so-so on his works since then. I thought the series on The West was excellent, but he was the producer rather than the writer/director: that came out pretty balanced.

I haven't seen The War yet, so I won't comment. I'm sure a lot was left out: compressing the experiences of 150 million people over 5 years into a few hours is bound to leave some important areas uncovered no matter what he does. Maybe a little less sweeping a scope would have been better in this case, e.g., "Four Communities at War" instead of the whole country.
