Band of Brothers

[big_geek]

I just rented the first fiew episodes this weekend. The show takes place during WWII, the Allies invasion of Normandy. It's about paratroopers (easy company), that were dropped over Normandy and fought their way to Berlin.
I am simply hooked on it, if anyone is into WWII this is the show to watch. You can rent it at Rogers, every box has 2 cds in it, with 4 episodes, each one 1 hour long.

A buddy of mine got the box set. we are going start watching two hours every week, until done. I think it is 10 DVDs....

[Bam Bam]

i got the dvd box froma friend for christmas it is great i also like sopranos and first season of oz for that matter

[big]

they air that on tv over here now about half way through, it's pretty good.

[Zole]

It´s definitly a good TV-serie, maybe one of the best nowadays.

I haven´t followed a TV-serie so 'die hard' since The X-files started a long time ago...Maybe it´s worth buying the DVD-box and be able to watch it whenever I desire to :clap:

[OverDose]

heh, ill check it out

got series 1 and 2 of the sopranos.. that was entertaining as hell

one ive been looking for is "scarface".. no ones got it around here

[Mystic Eric]

[Praetorian]

band of brothers is the best series ever... ive read the book a billion times and im folling the serie on a swedish channel. its cool though.

[Zole]

Hey Centurion !
Don´t you have BoB in Norway yet ? :confused:

[Praetorian]

We dont have the TV-Series of BoB, no.

:(

i just watched the Bastogne-episode...man i got a tear in my eye when the Sergeant ran across the battlefield at Froy and linked up with the other company and then ran back.

:cry:

[Manveet]

Ya they aired it on TV over here too. Good show.

Are you talking about Band of Brothers? Doesn't that only come on HBO? Unfortunately I don't have satelite.

[Exnor]

Yea, seen them all twice, they were on the BBC about a year ago. Damn good series. (they used more pyrotechnics in the first 3 episodes than in the whole of Saving Private Ryan :))

[Sledgehammer]

Exnor is this box set propaganda for the US war effort?

[big_geek]

The only thing that suck about that show is that it's not very accurate historically...nevertheless I watched it for the entertainment value.

[Praetorian]

WHAT!? Its very accurate historically. Steven Ambrosa have interviewed a good deal of Easy Company, and he has done extensive research regarding the invasion. I find it higly accurate historically.

Holland was not freed up by Americans!

[Praetorian]

o? who freed the dutchs then?

[big_geek]

Canadians, and this is coming from the guy that has lived in Holland during that war and experienced it first hand.

The Americans tend to rewrite history to make themselves look like the winners, they did not win WWII.

[Exnor]

Yeah, its very americanised. But so is so much stuff produced in america. Its sure as hell entertaining though.

[Exnor]

lol Sledgehammer. Funny you should post that in before big_geek's post about how its not very factual ;)

[howsertrading]

Holland was not freed up by Americans!

You'll be telling us they did'nt swipe the Enigma code machine next........

So the Axis powers are the real winners of the war??? I'm kinda lost on this statement.

Excellent series, it originally aired in high defintion. I bought the dvd box set which is very close to hi-def visually. Anyone with a home theater will enjoy this series, and will push your subwoofer...
