Did they have to set a whole episode just in Australia? It's

The Pacific failed so hard to recreate BoB's success.

>character is killed
>long emotional sequence while guys react
>music swells
>slow motion carrying the body away
>I have no idea who the fuck died because nobody was developed

I could name a dozen characters from BoB after one viewing, I could name 3 or 4 from The Pathetic.

They should've just focused on Sledge and Co., instead of starting with one set of characters (Basilone etc) and then having Sledge, Snafu, etc.

bob is pampered special forces waltzing through fat conscripts on the last year of the war

pacific is children going through hell

one is a cartoon, the other is a show about war

They focused on Sledge and Leckie for most of it, and you were supposed to get to know their squadmates.

>>82590318
Did Leckie really meet an Aussie chick like Stella in Melbourne? Surely after the war he would have contacted her again.

Poor Sidney didn't realise the girl he was banging was actually a transformer.

I agree, the all around German Army was crappy. To say nothing of the "Air Force" or "Navy"

Why? She'd probably have moved on already after assuming he died or returned to the States for good

They wanted to show the soldiers' connection to "real life," but they went way overboard. I feel like I remember something coming out at the time about how they felt like they needed a change of pace from BoB, and part of that was showing what happened on the homefront. But that wasn't really happening in real life, and what limited amount was happening was taken care of by Basilone's story. We didn't need a whole shitty episode about them bumming around Australia.

Literally no one ever has said "I'm really interested in WWII history, specifically the Pacific Theater, but what I REALLY want to know is what the soldiers did during their R&R."

so tru

Easy Company got their name because they had a very easy time thanks to the Canadians and British forces doing all the heavy lifting, yet Americans don't know how to fight so they got mowed down by German reservists and the German elderly. Really makes you think.

Sledge's story had the potential to take over BoB in another direction but instead we got stuck with that shitty medal of honor guy and Leckie just so they could show off more islands.

Sledges character development was 10/10 and the post-war scenes were incredible.

They'll spin it somehow. The "we killed more of them so we won" excuse always gives me a chuckle.
