Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)"Life Before Death" is my favourite episode of Touched by an Angel. Though I'm not Irish, I love almost everything that IS Irish. This episode really spoke to me because of the sufferening and pain caused by so much war. Tommy was my favourite character. My heart broke for him when Andrew revealed at the begining that he had been there to take both of Tommy's parents. I loved the scene with Tommy and Gavin when Gavin chastised Tommy and told him he should be at the meeting instead of reading poetry.
It was great watching the teenagers begin to trust each other and work together. The strife and pain cause by so many years of war between the Protestants and the Catholics in Ireland really came though in this episode as Tommy and Rose and the other children struggled to overcome years of hatred and violence. As Monica pointed out, the war is about more than religion - it's about economics and culture, too.
My favourite scene was at the end when the kids all sang "Let There be Peace on Earth". What a beautiful song. This episode shows that peace really can come to Ireland if the youth are willing to give it a chance, if the youth can see a world beyond the violence so many of them live with.
I'm not as familiar with "Such a time as This" but it was another episode that really struck me because of the power behind what it was saying and the message it held. So often we do not give out children the credit they deserve. "Such a time as This" is yet another example of Touched by an Angel at it's greatest.
