Band of Brothers

[bigboobedcanuck]

Burned through the rest of Band of Brothers on the weekend, and I'm rather disappointed in myself that it took me 10 whole years to watch this show. So, SO good. Obviously heartbreaking at times, but also a beautiful testament to the power and bond of friendship. I thought it was amazing. Great, great cast. Damian Lewis, Ron Livingston, Scott

Well, fab! He is v. v. talented. He plays Jacob Wheeler and he goes out into the world for more adventure in his life. It's so different than his character in BoB ... who is a little terrifying.

I think compared to BoB, The Pacific didn't have the camaraderie that was seen in BoB. In Band, you started out with the troop at the beginning and you followed their journey through the end. It made those characters memorable. Plus, you did have the friendship between Nix and Winters. Nix was great with the laughs and Winters was a strong leader. The Pacific didn't have a strong leader type. The war was very different in Asia than it was in Europe. The Pacific followed individuals and I found that difficult to follow and difficult to care for them as a whole because one minute I'm following someone back home in the States and the next minute I'm following someone in Japan and then Australia. It was a different feel. It wasn't as solid. It didn't capture the spirit of Band of Brothers. That's just how I felt about it. Still give it a watch!

Ooh! Fab on the upgrade. It is phenomenal in HD. And plus you get the DVDs, yay!

Boys being worried about each other = GOLD.

ALWAYS. Omg, he ran straight after him. He loves Nix v. much. Now I wanna watch these when I get home! :D
