Can't wait for this. I've probably watched BoB 20 times. Greatest series ever.

So the synopsis I gathered from the trailer was:

-Guns
-Explosions
-Fighting
-Naked chicks

Did I miss anything? Looks good.

Band of Brothers was a life changing event for me, I'm very excited about this.

Same here. I've got just about every book written by all the characters after watching the series. The Pacific is probably going to be even more emotional to me, as that was where my grandfather was.

Q: Speaking about war series, do you have any info about HBO's "The Pacific" coming out this year (?) -- serialnik

A: Tom Hanks/Steven Spielberg's “The Pacific” unfortunately will not be out until next year. When you mention their previous HBO war miniseries, the magnificent “Band of Brothers,” and then mention “The Pacific” to those who work at HBO, you get this pensive and hesitant expression. It’s not that they don’t think “The Pacific” is as good (at least one HBO person described the rough cuts as amazing), it’s just the Pacific Theatre was a very different front, with brutal atrocities being committed on both sides (see James Bradley's excellent and disturbing book “Flyboys,” which makes the author’s better-known “Flags of Our Fathers” seem like a sixth grader’s essay on WWII). “Brothers” also benefits from a wider range of dramatic settings. In other words, HBO senses “The Pacific” may be a tougher sell than the original, regardless of its quality. On the upside, one episode is supposedly a single extensive battle from start to finish, a small-screen attempt at taking on the opening of “Saving Private Ryan.”
