Faith in the humanity restored.
Now, I have to watch Band of Brothers again. Best series ever.

I liked Band of Brothers but I didn't like The Pacific. I hope they can do something similar to BoB.

So it's gonna be about the fly boys? Awhhhhh..........They should just make Band of Brothers 2 by following a different company or something. I wouldn't mind a Generation Kill 2 either.

Well yes, nothing is going to be at the same level as Major Richard Winters (btw his birthday would be in 2 days from now [21])
But I hope they will get the correct and best actors for this, it has to be AT LEAST at the same level as The Pacific.

I thought The Pacific was good, but only after I watched all of it. Not as good as Band of Brothers of course, but that's quite a hard thing to achieve.

I thought The Pacific was good as well, although for obvious reasons it was different from BoB.
Would be interesting to see how this thing turns out. I read the book and its scope is huge. I'm really not sure what they're going to focus on. I doubt it'll be something like 10 episodes of Memphis Belle

it can be good if its about pilots and naval battles with carriers and airstrips and subs and convoys,
but it will never be good as a series about inf in ww2 or iraq!
