Default The Pacific

I am sitting here at "work" after just finishing a conversation with a co worker on different tv shows and Band of Brothers came up, which we both enjoyed.HBO's The Pacific will come on next week, just cant' wait since it's PTO.Anyone else? Thoughts? Hoping someday Hanks and Spielberg will touch on PTO WW II subs

I knew it was coming, but haven't paid attention to it..Can't wait to watch it. If it is anything like BOB's..should be great.

Thanks for reminding.

Online ..
Are talking hulu or a torrent?
Previews look great. I'm thinking they oviously can't cover the entire island hop campain so we'll see a few battle scenes on Sipan or some other island who knows. Eastwood already did Iwo. Looking forward to it.

I also think it's important history be remembered even though through a mini series it's still hollywood and u-571 ish.

I usually catch things on hulu if i miss them on tv, they seem to have everything one day after the show aired.If not, easy to find online with a search.

One reason I am looking forward to The Pacific is Hanks and Spielberg are at the helm as they were in Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan which were great and not hollywood bs.One of the few hollywood types that do not muck up war movies/shows.From my understanding they wrote the script from books like The Old Breed by Eugene Sledge.Sledge is featured as one of the main players in the show.They also based it on Robert Lecky(sp?) and John Basilone.The show will cover the entire war from what I understand.6 days.I rarely look forward to a tv show but am looking forward to this one.

2 episodes have been played now on HBO/ I have only seen the first episode thought. (I have also been playing Silent Hunter 5 haha.)

In the first episode they show a ship battle at night near Guadalcanal that has some really nice special effects. I am PTO noob so no idea what that battle was - I don't want to spoil anything either for people who haven't watched and don't want to know about it. So nuff said.

The naval battle in episode 1 was The Battle of Savo Island, not the US Navy's finest hour.
