I've seen a few episodes, and it doesn't do much for me. I find the history of WW2 very interesting, but I get bored easily with all the movies/TV Shows/Games that depict the war. Dunno why.

Damn those crazy Australians. If I were Basilone i would be pretty pissed that i was going home. Also bad move by Leckie pulling a pistol on his Lieutenant.

Thoughts by anyone else?

I think last night's episode was the best so far.

Four was quite good too.

I've actually worked with a guy who is in the Pacific as sort of a background guy. But he went through boot camp and met Tom Hanks. Apparently he actually gets to do something in the next episode. He said he'd be operating a radio somewhere near Lecky.

From here on out the battles get very intense for the marines. It will be interesting to see how they portray them through only a few marines.

I really thought last weeks episode (Pelelliu Hills) was the best episode so far. I also think that this series is a bit better than BoB, but that may because this is their second attempt at such endeavors.

I like The Pacific more, personally. It deals more with the psychological aspect of things, rather than just the one platoon and their friendship/troubles amongst themselves as BoB did.

Plus it's covering part of WWII that isn't covered too much.

I knew i recognized the guy who plays Sledge. He was also in another little Spielberg project by the title of Jurassic Park, as the little boy.

I was the saddest when Snafu left.

I don't why I like him so much since he's completely fucked in the head.

Agreed.
I've actually been thinking about that constantly over the past couple days, and how crushingly depressing that actually was for two reasons:

1) You've spent a long time with this guy and made a great friendship, then you just wander off a train with no goodbyes and carry on your pre-war life with no contact

B) You've spent a long time with this guy and made a great friendship, then you wake up and your friend is gone, and you don't speak or see him for 30+ years.


I liked how it ended, with going over the real people and whatnot. Even if they weren't major characters, it paid tribute to them.

I thought it was very fitting, not only was the actually physical war portrayed in earlier episodes, but also the social and psychological tolls taken by these guys.

I agree that the saddest part was when Burgie and Snafu left, its basically like parting with your brothers.

Well played Hanks and Spielberg, well played.
