'Project Blue Book' episode 8: 'War Games' further explores Captain Quinn's bitter realization about war trauma

This week we get to see glimpses of what communist propagator Rizzuto was talking about when he hinted at the effects of war on Captain Quinn, both physical and emotional

The promo for History's 'Project Blue Book's episode eight is out and by the looks of it, it's going to be one dark, extended detailing of instances we came across in the last and seventh episode, 'The Scoutmaster'. The previous episode that aired this Monday showed us the first streaks of vulnerability in the character of Michael Quinn (Michael Malarkey), the US Air Force captain onboard the titular investigation alongside the real-life astrophysicist Dr. J Allen Hynek, played by Aidan Gillen. And almost as if continuing along the lines where communist propagator Edward Rizzuto (Michael Imperioli) reminded Quinn of the war trauma that he underwent, this week we get to see glimpses of what Rizzuto was talking about — both in terms of physical impact and emotional distress.
