Well I don't know what so many people on the internet (Amazon.com, other reviews, etc.) were all complaining about, but Lee and I just got done watching the last episode minutes ago and both of us were very impressed and very touched my the story. We both gave it two thumbs up.
After watching epi 9 tonight, and waiting for the next one to start, I went in the kitchen and cried and washed the dishes and scrubbed the stove to get my act back together. It was touching and made my stomach twist. To think of all my buddies who fought in WWII, just broke my heart.
I thought of Rocky fighting it out in the mud and each of the men who shared their stories with me during the last 6 years. That's what it's supposed to do. Tug at a heart string!
I sometimes think people are way too critical of things. I plan on buying the set and watching it again and again.
One thing I hear from so many people and after watching the entire thing I have to take it back; the character development. By the end I had no problem. Guess I had to give it a chance. And all who compare it with BOB...well, how many times have you seen BOB? Come on? I've probably watched it 25 times. No wonder we know the characters. If you watched Pacific that many times, the characters would be inside your eyelids.
Anyway, I just wanted to say BRAVO to the writers and producers and the actors. Top notch. You did good and you brought the war home to us once more.
