a macro
When Generation Kill was airing I watched bits and pieces. I've got vague plans to watch it in its entirety some time soon. Preferably with my navy friend, because complaining about the stupidity of US generals is great sport, and Operation Iraqi Freedom offers so many, many opportunities. "Hey guize, let's send our amphibious specialists to do policing, okay?"
(See also: The time they sent Rangers to do peace keeping making, oh god somebody plz think of the civilians, are you seriously on drugs now?)
(See also also: The ridiculously high numbers of civilian and ally casualties they consider acceptable, so long as they get to keep flying their planes and bombing stuff, oorah, hoorah or whatever nonse word they prefer in the air force! And on a related note: The very idea that they can Save The World through carpet bombing.)
Band of Brothers first though--another mini I've never seen in full, and am now catching up on. I love HBO miniseries for the HEY IT'S THAT GUY casting, and you know, a multitude of other reasons, chief among them quality. Anyway, I'm on episode three and Easy Company is about to be sent back to France to die some more. Thoroughly enjoying it so far, although I'm not really clicking with the characters.
I am also horribly behind on Supernatural (yes, again). Which tells you how invested I am this year. I don't dislike the season. It's fun, interesting, a little bit different and refreshing, but... it's not effectively competing for my attention (in my limited free time), not when there's ~*~Walking Dead~*~. idk SPN, you are lackluster somehow.
