Default Band of Brothers - the next chapter

Well, I don't normally look foward to Tv progs, but Pacific starts tonight, which if you don't know is the sequel to Band of Brothers

I hope its as good, the trailers seem to suggest it might be

Can't watch it, we don't have the channel access and I'm too tight to pay for it on top of what we have!

Hope it's not too long before the Blueray is out!

I have just watched up to the 4th Episode via the magic of tinterweb.
I too feel it's ridiculous that it is only on Movies so am watching as it comes out in the US then will be buying it when it comes out on blu-ray.

So far though it's a bit lacking in the actual battle scenes we know and love from Band of Brothers. Episode 3 has none at all Episode 4 has one short and barely visible scene which is lit only by strobe lighting and is just a bunch of japs running aimlessly into the machine gun...bit dull really.

Still I shall persevere.

Really? I didn't even know about this. I typed in pacific on imdb though and it didn't come up with anything in 2010, just some other stuff from 2006?!

According to the vets whose memoirs this is based on, there was an awful lot of waiting, and when action did come, it was confusing, horrific and violent. And then back to waiting, the horrible drudge of daily life, trying to deal with the horrors of an enemy that will accept death rather than surrender.

cant wait for this, already have the sky plus set for series link.

Its not really a sequal as such though to band of brothers, its just the same writers/director crew. its a diff cast and everything else like that aint it.

Oh I know that they have based it pretty much spot on reality and give merit for that but it just doesn't make for good viewing the way Band of Brothers did.
