I had to find it again, but my grandfather was a B-17 pilot during the war and flew 51 missions out of Tunisia and then Italy from 1943-44 and I have copies of his logs. I just for whatever reason can’t figure out which bomb group he was a part of again

Arc Hammer posted:I don't know how I feel about some of the plotlines carrying over between episodes like the stuff with Baby Face. BoB had focus episodes following certain characters and The Pacific follows three distinct storylines with supporting members branching off from the three protagonists. But here in MOA you get stuff like Baby Face's adventure with the underground escape lines for two episodes and then he vanishes from the story until he pops up again. I don't know how you'd change it without adding a bunch more scenes or rearranging the order of events but it feels like it was going somewhere given the time dedicated to it, only for the resolution to be Baby Face showing up at the airfield again with a voiceover. I am very concerned that they are going to rush through the next two episodes pretty hard, considering they are introducing the Tuskegee Airmen along with all of the other ongoing stuff.

The CGI at the end of the episode where it follows the bombs down into Berlin looked extremely poor

James Badge Dale was like Jack Bauer’s partner in the second season of ‘24’

I’m just disappointed that a lot of the longer bombing mission scenes were front loaded into the show I expected we would get more of that but instead they have outright not shown us missions or just avoided them in favor of other focuses

This was definitely the weakest episode. The show has been kind of petering out in the last few, but here it just zooms through a LOT of historical events because they need to wrap this poo poo up in one more hour.

twistedmentat posted:I still wish they had an episode where they had to deal with a Me-262 or Komits, where they come blasting out of nowhere, take down like 2 bombers and everyone is making GBS threads themselves, and then they're gone. This is the 262, I don’t know if I ever asked him about the Komet specifically

Yes it was absolutely not ready at all but once things went to poo poo for Germany mid-1944 they didn’t have a lot of options but to throw everything they could in the air You kind of saw it in a similar manner where as the Navy made it closer and closer to Japan, the Kamazake attacks intensified as the Imperial Navy ran out of experienced pilots and also ships

I mean it’s George Lucas, I don’t think he has done a single thing in his more modern career with anything resembling nuance

The final episode was better than the previous one, but my god the inclusion of the Tuskegee Airmen was a waste. They do almost nothing in this final episode and we don't get a sendoff for them like we do with the other pilots. The editing was also weird during that POW camp fight at the end, because one second we see a lone P-51 strafing the camp defenses, but then a second later there is an entire tank column like 1000 yards away shooting at the camp all of a sudden?

jisforjosh posted:Yeah, there's a reason why you have to laugh at any one that says "well Germany could've won if x y and z". Due to structural issues like you mentioned and the reality of fighting, Germany was already heading down the road to defeat in 1941 and had basically sealed their fate by 1943.
