    If this is anywhere near a good as Band of Brothers, then sweet. Been waiting a year for this.

    Time to order HBO again. Are they doing this in HD too? I might have to take the plunge for an HD converter box.

      I'm definitely checking this out. I originally missed watching Band of Brothers, and am resolved not to make that mistake again.

        I've never watched Band of Brothers. I hate WWII shit. Well I don't hate it, but I was epically burned out by the time it hit. Worth going through for someone that doesn't give a shit?

            Rob FAILS. Hard. I can understand being burnt out on WWII flicks (kinda) but this series is great. Granted I'm not a huge war movie/series person myself but WWII is my weakness. I've spent hours on the History Channel watching their WWII docs.

              The best thing to come from America's WW2 fetish is Band of Brothers. By like a bazillion.

                  Oh I realize I apparently fail. But I've never been huge into war/military type movies/television. If this is on blu, I'll give it a chance.

                    Band of Brother is not a war series. It's a story about men on a mission in a horrible situation that happens to be war, and how they are fucking badasses, pussies, heroes, cowards, and how cool it must have been to take over Hitler's private vacation home. To call it a war show is being short sighted.

                      But it's the setting for this awesome show. The setting of anything makes a huge difference. I know that this is an awesome show (it's not like I'm comparing this to Sliders), it's just that I'm not sure if I'm in the mood to get into another show at the moment. But I'll talk to my bro and grab the set from him this weekend hopefully. Give "updates from a n00b".

                        Also, thanks for the tag Howard I added a better one.

                          Couldn't resist. There aren't too many opportunities where that tag can be legitimately used. The one you added is good too. Except now I want to watch Up! again.

                            Up! wasn't as good as everyone said either.
