Anyway back to the original topic at hand. I hope that series will be absolutely amazing as in the first. I'll buy it.

You have to remember that what made the original Band Of Brothers so great was that it was mostly a true story. I'm sure some elements were given a hollywood spin, but the base of the tale was about a group of very real people who did extraordinary things in the face of war.

I'll be interested to see who they follow in the island hopping, though I think it'll be the 28th Regiment, 5th Division (who I think were the guys involved with the infamous raising of the flag on Iwo Jima).

Infamous? Typo? I thought it was famous.. wasn't aware of anything bad associated with it. Not harrassing you if it is a mistake, just curious.

Pacific BoB sounds very interesting. Wonder what the characters are gonna be, I think they might make some of them related to the old characters.

Eh - I meant it more like ubiquitous... that pic is EVERYWHERE, especially when people talk about the Pacific Theater. There's nothing WRONG with it, it's just a bit played out in the WWII visuals.
