Especially when both of them represent a peculiar type of force in the US Armed Forces.
On the one hand, Prince is intuitive, well prepared and full of tactical knowledge. On the other hand, Bambi understands the underlying structure of the mechanisms that move military systems behind closed doors. Together they make a caring duo.
There is also a tight-knit team about to embark on a risky rescue that could result in the death of a member of their select group. During the first few minutes, echo 3 makes it clear that what happens next depends on what binds people. This creates an interesting and well-constructed view of how you understand each other.
Importance of links in echo 3
But, in addition to all the similarities between the tactical shadow organization and military officials, they have something else in common. Before leaving for Afghanistan, the Prince marries Amber (Jessica Ann Collins), Bambi’s sister. little by little scenario echo 3 manages to build a deep and well-researched vision of what a new dimension of responsibility could mean. Bambi is not just traveling in the company of a colleague.
He is also a relative who explores the idea think about business decisions. Will he act the same as if the Prince were a stranger? echo 3 embraces a reflection on the essential importance of the subjective in action. More eloquently than other arguments in which violence and emotion are linked, the series finds a balance point of surprising interest. “You’re my brother and I can’t forget that,” Bambi insists, aware of the responsibility he bears.
Little dark places in despair
echo 3 it also talks about violence and how it intersects with all kinds of perceptions of collective identity. “Remember, it’s not just someone else walking in your company,” Amber says to a worried Bambi. The Prince then becomes a symbol of what can withstand desperate actions. “He is also my husband and he must return to my side.” A phrase that might seem sentimental and even melodramatic takes on a new meaning when the plot extrapolates it to new spaces.
Months after the wedding, a real tragedy that will support the plot echo 3. Actually, everything in the argument is built, thought out and connected with the premise. how much each character can risk for the other. Particularly when Amber is kidnapped in Colombia in the middle of a difficult mission. Radicals on the border realize that the American woman is an asset that can change the balance of power.
Despite the fact that the character is not related to any military crisis, which makes her more vulnerable.

Unlike many TV series and films about risky rescue missions or missions bordering on the impossible, echo 3 know your limits. Enough to sustain the first two chapters on the feeling of an unbridled impulse to justify a moral duty. “She’s my sister, but also a target,” explains a confused Bambi. “That his death is not an option,” Prince insists.
Excursion to the terrible places of good and evil
Ember, as the central character in the conflict about to unfold, carries with her the sensitive weight of a complex story. The bond with Bambi and the Prince alone makes her a valuable trump card.
that’s when echo 3 show your true intentions. The story of her abduction pushes her brother and husband to the limit, opposing the perception of morality as a driving element. Will both characters make the same decision to cut off their familial and emotional connection to Amber?

That the Prince and Bambi, one with tactical savvy, the other with political savvy, are plotting to save Amber? With his refined and peculiar vision of the military world, echo 3 this is a well-thought-out construction about duty and the need for protection. Also about invisible and less obvious duties. Undoubtedly his best point of balance between two equidistant places on the same subject.
