Storyline

- TriviaLieutenant Foster asks Dr. Scott for a checkup because she feels it "would be weird getting a pregnancy checkup from the HMC". HMC stands for Chief Hospital Corpsman ("Doc" Rios), and is the senior health care provider on smaller Navy ships like frigates and destroyers. Training and duty wise Hospital Corpsman are the Navy equivalent of a paramedic, they often serve as combat medics for U.S. Marine Corps units, Navy special ground warfare units like SEAL's and Seabees. More senior and experienced Hospital Corpsman are assigned as the primary healthcare provider to most Fleet units like frigates, submarines and destroyers, they often perform duties of both a nurse and a physician while at sea. They are able to treat almost any injury and illness and can even perform limited emergency surgery if needed to stabilize a seriously wounded sailor until they can be airlifted to a hospital; which is why a boat's crew often use the nickname of "Doc" for the HMC as a sign of respect, even though they are not an actual doctor. Typically only Navy bases and large ships like carriers are staffed full time with highly trained medical personnel like nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and doctors.

- Quotes
CMC Jeter: We've taken our share of hits these past few weeks. Suffered painful losses. Sometimes it feels like more than we can bear. And here we gather, united, shipmates. Every time we're called, we answer. Here I am. We enter knowing our world, the survival of our species, depends on our actions here at sea, and fully aware that we answer at our own peril. And still we answer. Here I am. I'm not gonna put a silver lining around our pain. Today we grieve. And we remember our fallen and we thank them for their service to us and to mankind. Yes, today we grieve. But, tomorrow we do press on. We continue to answer the call. Here I am.

Written by James S. Levine & Jim Dooley
Action packed episode, with some nice twists, well developed plot, and making a great use of the oil rig as a location, "Valkyrie" is a great episode in this second season. Not very deep, no, but breathless, and with some surprising emotional moments that will make the characters grow and develop in the viewer's eyes. It gives live to a show to see the characters to be more than just shooting machines and flag-saluting creatures.
