Band of Brothers Episode 1 Reaction

The ones who committed suicide that the E Co vet was talking about in the beginning couldn't enlist at all. A person who is 4F has some disqualifying factor that means they cannot join the military at all. Typically it is a medical or mental health issue that would make them unable to perform their duties as a servicemember, but it can also be because of some crime they committed. Regarding the E Co NCOs (sergeants) being shot for turning in their stripes, the UCMJ (United States Code of Military Justice) prescribes execution by firing squad as an acceptable method of punishment for desertion, sedition, or severe insubordination during a time of war. It is no longer used, but I believe it is still in the code.

Can you imagine if this series dealt with ptsd before the world knew how serious it is?

did they mention anything about full-length? I never watched this series before kind of wanted to do it with the fl. I assume it's gonna be up just if they said anything

This series is very very very accurate. Down to the man. There are just a couple things in the series that aren't quite right. What an amazing series.

Super looking forward to more of this :) I know that Winters was a really in easy company but i'm not sure if there's any other parts that they did fabricate for the purpose of drama. I think the show is pretty faithful to reality.

Ross got isekai'd into 1935, he knows about the war that's coming, and he does everything he can to prepare his friends

After finishing Band of Brothers, I strongly recommend watching the documentaty on Easy Company called "we stand along together". It is a sibling production but the same production company at HBO meant to be watched after Band of Brothers. It's fantastic.

If you enjoy this show then you should consider The Pacific as well. Same type of show but it focuses on fighting the Japanese

full length tonight as well?

i wasn't expecting to see him either. i can't stand ross and i didn't like david's character here either.

This show was something I used to watch on VHS whenever I visited my grandfather when I was younger. It was one of the only videos he had, he was a veteran of WW2 as well, and he let me watch it even though I was only like 8. I don't think he ever actually watched it with me, in hindsight I don't think he could watch it, he just let me watch it everytime. The opening credits always makes me so sad now cause it reminds me of him.

Yay! Been looking forward to this!

Want to hear something wild......I watched Friends a little bit when it aired, but I was never that into it. When I see David Schwimmer on TV, I might be the only person alive that thinks of him in Band of Brothers before I think of him as Ross.
