This is one of the entries that I don’t really know how to start off, but I’m going to try anyway. This is mostly because a) I always feel weirdly awkward starting entries and b) I’m going to be trying to talk (somewhat) coherently about Band Of Brothers and what it’s done to my brain/mind/heart/soul/every fibre of my being. There’s a big part of ( Read more... )

attempts at meta?, we stand alone; together

Winters is Damien Lewis. GINGER AND AWESOME AND IN LOVE WITH NIXON.

LIIIP. LIP ♥ OKAY SO BASICALLY, LIPTON IS LIKE, EVERYONE'S MOTHER. IT'S THE ADORABLE THING EVER. HIS GRUMPY!FACE OMG, SO WONDERFUL. BUT HE IS THE SWEETEST EVER AND HE HAS HIS OWN EPISODE AND OH MAN, AMAZING. THE EPISODE IS BASICALLY ALL, "SO, LIP IS WIN. OKAY?" AND AT THE END SPEIRS ACKNOWLEDGES LIP'S WIN AND THEY GO HAVE SEXYTIEMZ. AND LIKE, IDK, HE'S ONE OF THE CHARACTERS THAT JUST MAKE YOU SMILE BY BEING IN A SCENE. HE'S LEGIT IN MY TOP FAVOURITE FAVOURITES. And he has very sensible hair (ahahah, idk that felt wrong in capslock? lol) I DON'T THINK ANYONE DISLIKES HIM? IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. HIS FAAAACE. ♥!!

The one who ends up being boss of Easy Company when Ross [from Friends, y'know the one] gets a different group?

HE HAS HIS OWN EPISODE? WHICH ONE IS IT? TELL ME NOWWWWWW.
THEY HAVE SEXYTIEMZ? YES? NGHNNNN I APPROVE.
Sensible hair? As in very fair hair? LOL OMG WE SHOULD STOP MAKING FUN OF HIM.

YES, capslock-y enough. I also have the hots for Donnie's brother, Mark [he was hotter back in the day, though. ALSO, did you know Mark has three nipples? o.O]

Yes :D

EPISODE SEVEN, MY FRIEND. THE BREAKING POINT. IT IS EPIC. They have many sexyteimz in my head but, ahaha, really? IDC, THERE WAS EYE FUCKING. I SAW IT. Aww, it's so cute. He has this precious little side parting going on. ADORABLE.

Between Band Of Brothers and The Departed I am now at the point where I am blindly defending everything Whalberg. TRUE STORY.

I see your gigantic rambly post, and raise you one long and non-sensical reply, complete with shameless capslock abuse! Something a little like this:

OMG ILU FOR SRS. AGAIN. STILL.
See even your post was more eloquent that I would be able to put it. I mean, urgh, words just cannot describe the sheer brilliance and epicness of this series. Shakespeare couldn't even make words up to do it justice ( ... )

Ha, I tried really hard to pick the right words in some places but it was SO HARD to control my epic flail. SO HARD. Because pretty much, my feelings get summed up into ASDKJBAFJBK;ASFJHO;I ASDF ♥!! and then all pretence of trying to coherent flies out the window. But I tried!

I keep on trying to pick a favourite and it's impossible. I think I have a Top 10? ISH. IDK. I LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH OMG. IT'S RIDICULOUS BUT AMAZING. I think that makes it the funnest thing ever though because every time someone gets like a second of screentime I flail so hard. OH SHOWW.

I really, really don't think I've ever heard WW2 summed up better in my life than Webster shouting, "What the fuck are we doing here?" and oh God, Leibgott having to tell them they're going back. And then Webster freaking out at the locals over it. Shiiit. Shitshitshit. IT HURT SO MUCH. But it was fucking epic.

OH, GRAAAAANT *clings to him* THAT WAS HORRIBLE AND I WAS ALL IN SHOCK FOR SO LONG AFTER IT. And it was made worse by Speirs holding his hand and freaking and going ( ... )

Amen to that! That was a genius bit of writing.

And it was made worse by Speirs holding his hand and freaking and going to basically kidnapp a brain surgeon and hitting the guy that did it and everyone's reactions.AAHSGAA, I KNOW! I was like "Oh Speirs you wonderous man, how is it possible I just fell in love with you MORE ( ... )

OKAY FAVOURITE SCENES/MOMENTS. HERE I GOOO.

1. OT5 IN THE SUNSHINE ON THE EAGLE'S NEST. PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT SCENE IS SOLID GOLD. Okay because first you have the shit you don't see when Nix, Harry and Speirs getting completely shitfaced. And then Winters and Lip come in and Harry's all "HEEEY ADOLF, LOVE YOUR EAGLE'S NEST." and like, hanging off Winters and groping him or something, idek. And Speirs slurring Lip's name in the background. And then like Harry trying to force alcohol down Winters' neck ahahaha, and Winters reading the note that says "stand fast on current positions" and Harry does that ADORABLE standing to attention thing and he looks all drunkenly proud of himself and then just cracks up laughing, ADORABLE. HARRY ILY. And Nix kind of sprawwwwled out on the chair and going "standing fast" and Winters telling them about the German army and HARRY'S FACE OMG and Winters looking at Nix and going, "You. Sexyteimz. Nao." and then LIP AND HARRY HUGGING IN THE BACKGROUND. I CANNOT EVEN ( ... )

I LOVE OZ LKDJGL;;SD
I'm still not done (I'm on season 4 and Alvarez just escaped. TBH, I'll probably not watch it for a while mainly because I won't be seeing much of him BECAUSE HE'S TOO BUSY BEING BADASS FOR BOB!!!)

EXPLOSIONS EVERYWHERE. I'm making people see it but idk, I'd be like "OMG I LOVE PERCO!" and they're like "...Wait! Who's that again?"
It's so sad ;___;

IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO FINISH. I kept having to stop and take breaks in between burts of watching like, 3 episodes in a day because of ~the pain~ of it all. BUT IT IS SO GOOD, OH GODDD. I need to buy the entire boxset of DVDs, actually and then I can REWATCH.

I remember the days where characters all blended together! Ha, OH HOW THINGS CHANGE. N'AWW, PERCO. I WANT TO RUFFLE HIS HAIR OR SOMETHING. SO CUTE ♥ It makes me the saddest when people don't care about Harry. HARRY AND HIS GAP-TOOTHED GRIN ARE THE LOVLIEST THINGS EVER :D :D
