The Pacific, Band of Brothers "Sequel"

@slob
The actual name is "The Pacific".

@br55 and ilft99
I'm sure you'll be able to find it on the internet before too long. Somebody will record it and put it up on youtube eventually.

it will be 6 months after the last episode before it makes it over here, have to find another way to see it, BubeTube might work

HULU has it I think...or if they don't, they will soon.

I'm looking for it online also, since I missed the first few episodes.

Crap...I missed it completely. How much does HULU cost.

hulu is free..can't believe you haven't heard of it yet o0

Best yet? its legal!

If you live out of the US your kinda SOL then.

FOUND IT!!!

http://www.hbo.com/the-pacific/episodes/0/01-part-1/video/part-1-full-episode

FULL EPISODE. FREE.

You have to register for the HBO thing...bit it takes all of 2 minutes.
Totally worth it. WAtching as I type...badass already!

I have heard of HULU just haven't tried it out yet...thanks for the info.

Yeah hulu is pretty cool you should check it out. Thanks for the HBO thing durkee! watching it right now.

...I signed up, went to the video, but when I hit play it goes for five seconds then freezes. Rinse and repeat. No sound either.

Wow.

Beautiful.

Spielberg kinda put that psych-artistic twist on this that I like his films for...the way he really focused on emotions rather than just trying to make an all out gory war flick.

Real good. I'd say its right up there alongside the good ol' Band of Brothers.
Liked how they brought Tom Hanks back for the narration in the beginning.

YOU ARE MY HERO!!!! Free interwebz cookies for you.

Any idea if we can get part TWO on that link?!
I missed it last night, don't ask

I just watched episode two tonight! Pretty good, better than the first IMO. I was happy because Chesty (my hero) was featured a lot this episode!

Did you watch it online? I can't seem to get it on HBO's site.

No, I watched it on tivo. It'll probably show up on youtube or hulu or something eventually.

Yeah part two really blew my mind, that was a really good installment, I wonderif they'll be able to top it!! I'm willing to bet that part two is the 'Carentan' of this series though

I hope so. I liked the Carentan part.

So did I, and what I meant by that is
Carentan was obviously the most action-filled installment in B.O.B. , So by that I meant that Pt. Two may have been the most action we'll see

I don't know, I'd expect Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and Pelileu to be the better than Carentan. I mean, they're some of the bloodiest battles of the whole war.

Just looked at my "The Pacific: Newsletter", and apparently, part three is just going to be a part where they're on leave in Melbourne. Great.

Thanks for the heads up though Jarhead
I agree you're right. I did think of Iwo and Okinawa, but I was thinking "you never know what the directors might focus on", but that seems silly now

Well I don't know..you have the movies on Iwo Jima..so im wondering if there will be much of a focus there...but we will see

I don't know, I'd expect Iwo Jima would have to be good. As a Marine officer said after the battle, "The flag raising on Iwo Jima means a Marine Corps for the next 500 years." Think of that quote, which shows just how bad the battle really was. It's gonna be hard not to have a good episode about Iwo.

Oh well, that won't surface until episode eight anyways.

@M14
Don't mention it!

Being a little prophetic I see. Or just "in the know." Or just guessing. One of those.


Caught half of a re-run of episode two on Friday night. Liked it a lot, although I should go try and see episode one first....

@br55ftw
Just "in the know"

I'm definitely going to buy the set when it comes out on DVD or Blu-Ray

Definately. It'll nbe upwards of $80, just warning you.
but I'm willing though

Yeah, I reckon at first it'll be the same price Band of Brothers was when it first came out, but I don't mind.

Part three recorded last night, gonna watch it when I get home tonight.
