Anyone else looking forward to The Pacific on HBO Sunday?
 

Being a huge fan of the Band of Brothers mini series I am really looking forward to seeing The Pacific when it airs on HBO Sunday night.

I've watched a few of the trailers - http://www.hbo.com/the-pacific and it looks like it's going to be really well done. I actually ordered HBO just for this, told directv i was thinking about switching and they gave it to me for $4.99 a month.

:thumbsup

Huge fan, I'm very excited for this, esp seeing how it covers Marines

I am looking forward to it.

Band of Brothers set the bar, so hopefully measures up.

I got HBO just for the series so I hope it measures up.

getting hbo decoder at monday especially for that

i expect first episode or two to be fairly boring though

I'm looking forward to when it's not on a "pay extra" channel.

I'm looking forward to it, but not expecting much since HBO's shitty writing is rather prolific lately, even fucking up the latest season of BIG LOVE. I hope this is good though.

Sure thing. There was a lot of advertisement on that. And the creators, a-list.

yeah looks great

Definitely looking forward to it!

Yeah I want to catch it but will most likely end up waiting on DVD so i can sit down and see the entire thing

Yes I have the DVR all set and ready to watch. Loved Band of Brothers, this should be great.

You guys should check out Eugene B. Sledge's: With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa

"The Pacific" is based (mainly) on his book.

I love HBO shows but this thing has been done to death already. Give it a fucking break already. WW2 is over.

I'm glad you mentioned it. I'd forgotten to set my DVR.

Thank You, I am so sick of the fucking commercials for it every 2 seconds. I'll be glad when it finally starts, so I dont have to look at Speilberg and Hanks:disgust

Yeah but it's the last time America kicked ass and really won a war. So we have to revel in it. I honestly doubt we could muster that kind of a fighting force these days. We have become a nation of Blackberry checking, iPhone talking, porn watching wimps.

Isn't it the only time too? I guess second if you count the revolutionary war
