they're replaying BoB on network TV here, on monday it was the one where they had the raid over the river so I think we have the 2 most depressing episodes left and then the pacific, so it's gonna be pretty close to up to date as well as free to anyone with a TV
Yea. Read them if you haven't. I got to meet the author not too long ago. Very cool guy and very much still in contact with Winters...who is unfortunately, not aging all that well anymore.

wooooo
Wait. What? Is someone other than HBO showing the Pacific?
I'm also eagerly awaiting Sunday evening. But has anyone else read any previews of it?
I can't remember where (or even if it was a TV or in print), but I remember hearing that they toned down alot of the grittiness of BoB and substituted a more cheerleaderish "we're the good guys, they're the bad guys" feeling (which I can't remember ever feeling while watching BoB). The rationale was that BoB was created pre-9/11, when the American public was more comfortable with the grittiness.
I have absolutely no idea how valid that point is, or even how trustworthy the source was (as I can't remember where it came from). But it definitely seems like something right up Spielberg's alley. I'm still really excited, but I have a tiny bit of doubt creeping into the back of my mind.

Man, I hope it's more like BoB than Saving Private Ryan.

This sounds untrue and I certainly hope it is definitely not true even a little bit. Because that wuold be dumb.

Llama doesn't live in the US (he's a New Zealander).
In Australia The Pacific will be shown free-to-air in HD, but it won't start screening until April.

So, pretty much the same as BoB.
I think by the 5th or 6th time I watched it, I knew everyone's name, and it brought the series to an entirely new level for me.
Spoilers
I don't know if the soldiers in The Pacific can top my love for everyone in Easy Company, but if it gets anywhere close it will still be amazing
Satans..... hints.....
