I thought using Brothers in Arms was risky because it was used in the perfect ending to a perfect episode of television with the season 2 finale of The West Wing. Any time that's used my mind immediately goes to "Two Cathedrals".
As to this show, I really dug it. I was rather surprised at how bloodlessly it ended. You knew from episode 1 it was going to end poorly and I'd say, all told, it was about as good as they could have hoped for. I was ok with not everything being tied up neatly with a bow, that's not how their life is. I halfway expected it was going to end with them looking at the newly opened McDonald's in Red Square, but that was a few years yet to come.
I had the same thought, although I didn't realize it wouldn't work timeline-wise.
