Faux Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e99B80crU3E premieres Sunday, March 14 on HBO. First of a 10-part series. Can't wait, I loved Band of Brothers and enjoy the pacific side of the war more than the european one. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy500fan Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Yeah I've been waiting for this for a while. I wasn't actually a huge fan of Band of Brothers, but I did think it was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I bought the entire series of Band of Brothers for my father for Christmas. He and I are obsessed with the show. I hope this is just as good. We'll have to wait for it to be on channels like Spike because we don't have HBO. Last.Fm My Bloggy Proud to have served on Tip.it Crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriegsmier Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Watched the first episode. Was good, but not as good as the first episode of Band of Brothers. Its already evolving to slow as far as introducing characters go. I have no idea who is who like I get with BoB. Also they were instantly dumped into the action, no build up. Hope it turns out good....but right now Band of Brothers still has the upper hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atestarossa Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I liked the first episode. It's hard to compare it to the BoB one, since I've seen that several times. But I think it was good.I hope that they manage to get the focus down on the main persons a little more though, I think this episode focused a little much on the outside of the company, and on those two japanese soldiers, if you have seen it, you know which ones I mean. Anyways, I have hopes for the rest of the episodes. I think they can be very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the first episode, it would have been boring if they did it the same way as BoB (training day/character intro for episode one). Give it another episode or two and you'll have most of them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Lord Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 My grandfather would have probably liked to see this, but he's dead. Anyway, I would watch this if I had HBO. It looks like a very good show. SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriegsmier Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Boring? No way. That set the tone for the entire series of BoB. You gotta know who you are watching. You shouldn't read the book if you thought the first BoB episode was boring....the book goes into a lot more detail. I think this will pickup, but i'm not sure how much of a personal relationship they are going to form between us the viewers and the characters. Its supposed to focus on 3 Marines specifically. But even then, according to IMDB, none of the main characters appear in more then 6 of the episodes. We shall see. I'm excited being a Marine, a lot of the names in this are names out of Marine Corps lore. Like John Basilone and Chesty Puller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfilc23 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I called Dish last night to order HBO, since the first ep is re-playing every day I can catch up. I was eligible for 3 free months of HBO and Showtime package...I'm very excited! Already cleared off the DVR for the eps and all the movies I'll be recording :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azvareth Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I've really enjoyed it so far. Especially the latest episode since we got to know the characters a bit better. Also, goddamn Basilone. What a badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giordano Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Pretty much. War isn't pretty. I still have to watch this. I liked Band of Brothers so I should like this...and as of late I've been watching a lot of WW2 Pacific documentaries; The Pacific would only be the icing on the cake. First episode of BoB boring? You nuts? It was funny as hell! "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azvareth Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Really liked the recent episode. They really do a good job of portraying the utter chaos and brutality of war (or rather how I'd imagine it being). Also, Chesty [bleep]ing Puller is a badass.
