This episode is ending my interest in the show. I have no idea why a Coalition medical unit would favor treating local nationals over a coalition soldier (Deltas over Alphas). The woman who is always trying to save everyone suddenly is cold and wants to kill off officers. Even with the missed episode, everyone else is operating backwards from before. Skipping an episode to show us this was a big mistake.

Many thanks to you, Mr. Petrie. Your explanation was as appreciated as it was unexpected. I don't think there are many Execs. that would take the time to offer such an explanation.
I sure hope this doesn't hurt CH's chances for a second season here in the US.
I don't know what it is about this series that stimulates my tear ducts. The only other show that has the same effect on a weekly basis is Flashpoint. Must be a Canadian TV show thing. IMO, both series are among the best shows on TV. If both are canceled in the US I just might move north of the border.

I have really enjoyed this show and hope it comes out on DVD. Also - if anyone has seen Episode 11 - can someone provide a spoiler? I would love to know what happened. I feel confused about this week's episode.....too many unanswered questions Thanks!!!

This is really shameful. ABC should do the right thing and broadcast the missing episode. Those of us who invested our tv viewing hours to ABC should be respected and appreciated by the network. This is no way to treat your viewers.

Thank you C. Orlando for letting us know about the Brothers in Arms episode that did not air on TV! I too was confused after watching last night's episode. Just finished watching the Brother In Arms episode on megavideo. It all comes clear to me now ....
I can't believe that they didn't show the Brother in Arms episode. From everything I read it seems to be a good episode. I am truly upset cause I really like this show!!!

I came across this series accicdently on line in the UK and have watched every episode. I am soo very disappointed that episode 11 was not shown (in the US) and hence my not being able to download from Icefilms. I enjoyed episode 12 greatly, but was very much frustrated with not knowing what happened with Simon/Rebecca etc... Araf was back, considering only last week his uncle had taken him.. Is it true that CH has been cancelled? I have really enjoyed the series and the characters have grown on me, especially Marks.

Dear Producer,
I, along with the thousands of military and civilians who lived and fought from KAF would like to see the series continue. It brings back memories, some good, some bad of the time I spent with the medical teams at KAF in 06 and 07. I was at FOB Scorpion which was between KAF and Kandahar City and took my patients to KAF and did some training for the medics that worked there in the Emergency Department. Seeing the depiction of the Board walk, the hospital, the TOC all remind of those times and great comrades and friends.
I hope the series continues and is sucessful. I know Canada is leaving KAF and even Timmy's has closed recently, but some fine Canadian troops fought and gave the ultimate sacrifice there and I believe it fitting for Canada and the States to get a glimpse of how hard we fought to save those injured on the battlefield.
Thank you,
Doc

Damn it ABC. It's probably something on Irene, AGAIN. Network TV news specials are universally terrible, anyways, why do they bother?
I'm one of the Executive Producers and the so-called "showrunner" of Combat Hospital. Thank you so much for your thoughtful reviews of our show across the season. I'm sorry that you were frustrated by ABC's decision to skip episode 11, but when they realized they would have to end our season a week early (they told us that this was because of a news special) they thought it would be better to skip episode 11 than to skip last night's episode, 12, or next week's, episode 13. Global TV, our network in Canada (where the show is much more popular) decided to air episodes 11 and 12 back-to-back last night. Naturally I wish that they'd done that here in the US, but that was not to be. Episode 11 will also be available on Global's website, but only to Canadian viewers; I hope it will be available here in the States, but I don't know that as of now. In spite of your very understandable frustration with the missing episode, I hope you will tune in next week for the season finale, and I look

And I think that next week would be the finale, because I think I remember that they showed a preview after yesterday's episode.

@Sue Ann: This was the finale, that's why ABC moved it up. Consider it a SERIES finale, despite no official announcement made.

Ms. Orlando, is the next episode a season finale or a series finale? I gave up on watching this program some weeks back, but I do enjoy your reviews of it. My question is because short failed series usually do not come out on DVD, but longer-lastfing series do. Episodes which were not aired for whatever reason often show up on seasonal DVD's, as did the unaired episodes of Firefly some years back. You may eventually have an opportunity to see the missing episode, and reorganize your thoughts on the flow of this military medical soap opera. I hope so.
