    The Pacific Sucks and So Does Your Face

    I am a huge Band of Brothers Fan. Great actors. Great story. Great everything. Might be the best miniseries of all time.

    Been waiting for years for this new Band of Brothers. Saw the preview on Youtube and came instantly. BOING!

    Waiting…..Waiting….Waiting…

    It comes out. I have seen all of the ones released to date, which I believe is 6 episodes. Then it hits me. I have no fucking clue who anyone is in this show. The only person I do know is Lecky, and that’s only because his name is somewhat rememberable.

    I remember that the first Band of Brothers received a lot of negative remarks when it came out due to the first episode being somewhat slow, but that was necessary IMO to build the storyline.

    In The Pacific, there was no story. Some tiny intro, then on the beach we are. No matter how hard I try, I cannot get into this flaming piece of shit. I keep waiting for it to get better, but it never does.

    Hanks and Spielberg must have listened about the first Band of Brothers, which is why the first episode was right into the action, but then on the 3rd or 4th episode, the whole fucking deal is about them being in Australia relaxing? The fuck? I want to see historical shit, not an hour full of that crap.

    So…this 10 part miniseries blows because…

    No character development.
    No Navy Scenes (yet)
    No story about why they are doing what they are doing. I know tons of shit about WW2, but in this movie, they barely touch on why they are going to a certain place….it’s just to KILL THEM JAPS.

    Fuck The Pacific. But I’ll still watch the last 4 episodes.

        I agree with you about not knowing the characters I even thought Lecky's name was Lucky. I do find it interesting just because my grandpa brought my grandma home from Australia in WWII (she was a nurse) and now I know kinda how it happened. Now the new guy we will get to know is Sledgehammer. I think like Band Of Brothers it may need to be watched a couple times.

          When is the show Your Face on? It sounds much better than The Pacific.

            I feel the same way about the names.

            I either want to remember the names of the people and have them actually stick, or I want it to be such a good action show that I could give a fuck what their names are because they are dying by the dozens each episode.

            When the japs shot the one guy in the face last episode, I couldn't figure out who he was. I still don't know who he was or what his story was.

              I agree. I just finished watching the 6th episode and was expecting there to be a lot more character development then there has been. The action scenes are about the only kick ass thing about this series.
