Art, exploitation, and the myth of authenticity push the Captain to a breaking point

Has it really only been one hour of television since the Captain was tossed the script to The Hamlet by a cadre of RDJs? “Give Us Some Good Lines” reinvents this constantly evolving show once again, bringing in a bunch of new characters, a new setting, and the same old shit for the Captain to deal with. Look, we all know Hollywood sets in the ’70s were totally fucked.

It is funny watching Nico throw a tantrum about none of the extras speaking Vietnamese and the Captain feeding hardcore revolutionary lines to the villagers, knowing full well no one else knows what they’re saying. On the flip side, we get a reminder that there’s no outrunning your demons as Oanh and his indicting grin appear to the Captain several times accompanied by some terrific, terrifying musical stings. Even with all The Sympathizer’s signature flaws, it’s a densely-packed episode.
