Just wondering who here watched The Pacific-Episode Two tonight, well last night? What do you think of the series so far? Pros? Cons?
I really like the show, has exceeded my expectations.Although I loved Band of Brothers I figured it would basically be that but it's not, which is good because the PTO was a whole different war.The battle scenes in episode two were something intense, the hand to hand combat was well done and realistic.The banter between the Marines is also quite amusing.
I onyl have two things that are suspect to me....
Sgt Basilone during battle held his 50 cal machine gun kind of "rambo style", did this really happy or just theatrics? I know he won the MOH for taking out a bunch of Japanese troops and all but the way he was holding it for a second was a little ramboish.
The Marines stole some Army supplies during an air raid once the Army arrived on Guadalcanal, just wonder if this really happened.
So far I give the show an A+ though
