Can't wait to see this, comes out march 14th, follow up to the now immortal and glorious Band of brothers, hopefully it will not disappoint but Spielberg and Hanks are back on this one so it should be good. Dont have HBO but gonna have to get it just for this series!

A follow up to the greatest thing ever put on Television? Yeah, I have March 14th marked off on my calendar.
 
Saw some of the making of the original band of brothers and how the actors and extras actually went thru ww2 boot camp with Capt Dale Dye to recreate the grittiness, realism, and comraderie generating the greatness of the show, if the attention to detail of first one goes into the Pacific I will definitely have to buy the box set as soon as it comes out. The Pacific though looks to be differernt from BOB in that instead of following a group of soldiers, it will tell the story from the eyes of 3 main characters and their journey thru the hell that was the pacific theater, trailers all look great, first class cinematography.

even if its only half as good as band of brothers it should still be pretty awesome.

watching the making of shows how intense and how authentic the producers wanted things to be, so far as having the actors/extras go thru pretty real bootcamp

Unfortunately I do not have HBO here on campus :(.

I loved Band of Brothers. Judging from the trailers and having done no readings on it I believe they focus on the home front quite a bit where as BofB didn't. Should be interesting.
