HBO Signature is re running The Pacific starting tonight. If you haven't seen it, it's well worth the effort to check it out.
Episode 1, 2 & 3 tonight, 4, 5, 6 & 7 Thursday night and 8, 9 & 10 Friday night.
Set your DVR. :rock :salute :rock

Too bad we don't have HBO at school. I have the DVDs at the house, so I guess I'll have to watch it some other time. Pretty awesome miniseries! Band of Brothers is still my favorite, though.

Caught it just as first episode started. Thanks for the heads up.

Good series but some of the fictional drama stuff like the father/son conflict between Sledge and his father was needless.

There wasn't so much a father-son conflict between sledge and his dad I thought... His dad was behind him when he decided to enlist despite his heart murmur. He was really behind him when he got home.
If there was any father-son conflict, I'd say it was between Leckie and his dad.
Great series :salute

It'd be neat to seem them make an 8th AF series, or a series about pilots, that would be awesome. :pray

I'd flip for some ETO aerial combat with the style and quality of BoB/Pacific. :aok
The Pacific was ok, but i liked Band of Brothers better for its cast and characters.

It was taken from Sledgehammer's book unless I'm mistaken. This series differed from BOB in that it showed the homeland effects.

It was based (loosely) off of Leckie's and Sledge's memoirs.

I was talking about the relationship between Sledge and his Dad. Thought that was in his book. Looks like I was wrong. But, Hanks and Speilberg did say they wanted to show the effects on the homefront and quite a bit of the series covers that.

The guy that played "Snafu" did a fantastic job. If you ask me, he captured the essence of a Man that was beaten into submission by years of inhumanity.
