General discussion post for The Pacific
Okay, folks. I know a lot of you are watching this, because I cannot POSSIBLY be the only one.
Although we're not going to do a post for each week's episode, anyone who wants to comment on/discuss/dissect/compare the current run of the series is MORE THAN WELCOME to do so here. What do you guys think? Good? Bad? Trading on the traditional tropes of war and sacrifice, without the emotional payoff given to us by the stellar BoB cast and stories? Better than sliced bread after a month of K-rations? Please share with the class!
I'm going to leave this post UNLOCKED, and you can expect spoilers in the comments. We'll use this post for the first three episodes (including tonight's) and another post for each additional set of 3-4 episodes.

This is the FINAL general discussion post for this rewatch, and your chance to ask questions and make comments on the tenth episode, "Points". Remember, this post is UNLOCKED.
General Discussion: Why We Fight
January 20th, 2010
This is your (belated; I'm actually wondering if we should switch to a monthly posting schedule and call it a win) general discussion post for Episode Nine, "Why We Fight". Remember, this post is UNLOCKED.
General Discussion Post: The Last Patrol
November 12th, 2009
This is your discussion post for the Webster-heavy episode "The Last Patrol." Remember, this post is UNLOCKED, so bring your very best snark about Webster's slack-jawed refusal to understand group dynamics!
I'm leaving the questions open for this week, so feel free to use the comments for thoughts, things you've only just noticed this rewatch, and questions of your own!
I know, okay? I fail as a mod on SO MANY LEVELS, especially when IRL stuff is keeping me off the internet. Still, we'll get through this rewatch, especially if you guys do me the favor of REMINDING me about things like, you know, not putting up a post for three weeks, and after that Em and I have some new stuff planned for the periods between rewatches.
Breaking Point: General Discussion
October 22nd, 2009
I've been trying to give at least a week for each episode, which means that at this point, we're actually a week behind. No matter, though; this is still the UNLOCKED discussion post for this week's episode, "The Breaking Point".
Questions to get things started:
( Just how cold WAS it?Collapse )
October 12th, 2009
Sorry this is late, folks. And for once, I don't have any snarky questions to start things off. But this is our UNLOCKED discussion post for this week's episode, "Bastogne."
Crossroads: General Discussion
October 3rd, 2009
This is the place for general observations, questions, analysis, thoughts, and reactions to episode five, "Crossroads". Remember, this post is UNLOCKED. Under the cut are this week's starter questions, but as always everyone is encouraged to go beyond these questions, and to jump into the discussion with other community members as much as possible.
( So, just where exactly WAS Nixon?Collapse )
Replacements: General Discussion
September 25th, 2009
Sorry this is late, folks. Remember, this post is for general discussion of the episode "Replacements" and is UNLOCKED. As always, the questions are meant to get the conversation started, and everyone is encouraged to add observations, thoughts, questions, and analysis along with them.
( Some questions to get us started.Collapse )
This week, IM Chat returns! We'll be viewing "Carentan" and "Replacements" on Sunday, beginning at 2pm EDT.
Carentan: General Discussion Post
September 16th, 2009
Last weekend's chat transcript will be up tomorrow; real life intervened somewhat. Today, though, is Wednesday, and that means it's time for this week's episode discussion posts!
Remember, this is the UNLOCKED general discussion post. It's the place for general comments, observations, question, and analysis. There are a few questions below the cut to get the conversation started, but please feel free to add your own thoughts, respond to the comments of others, and generally expand the conversation beyond those questions. The more that people have to say, the more fun the whole thing will be.
( A few things to considerCollapse )
Day of Days: General Discussion Post
September 10th, 2009
We're not lost, Private. We're in Normandy.
This is the place for general discussion: questions, theories, observations, beloved quotations, moments that make you happy, references that you just figured out or still don't understand. Remember, this post is UNLOCKED.
