To be fair band of brothers isn't perfect, the strength of the episode depends on the strength of the subject. Famously it goes from Dick Winters the super Charismatic Leader to Blithe the guy who dies but didn't actually die in real life which makes the third episode somewhat of a buzz kill. None of the masters of the air episodes have felt like they are about anything just a collection of anecdotes from the war. Hopefully it ties together. Still enjoying it though, but that's just my thoughts.

Not as good as last time, but it would be a real great twist If all the big stars get shot down I think by comparison, this episode did a lot of the same stuff as the Winters leads the attack on the crossroads/then goes to Paris and PTSDs a bunch, with the difference that that episode was only half on the home front and half in combat, where as they went for the whole episode being on the home front which didn't feel as good. Also them Just teleporting back to England felt a bit off as we've seen them fly everywhere else.

Arc Hammer posted:Yeah inverted flight with a Mk1 spit or a hurricane is a good way starve your engine and crash. When James Cosmo's character does an aileron roll at the very start of Battle of Britain you can actually hear the engine sputter and burp some black smoke after it goes inverted. It's no wonder Christopher Plummer immediately chews him out. You can teach monkeys to fly better than that.

Show really hit its groove, that's a good episode. Edit: reminds me that the equivalent episode in Pacific is really good too with Sledge. algebra testes fucked around with this message at 00:39 on Feb 24, 2024 |

It's just strange they're going to half rear end a james bond story line, and also half assing a resistance storyline, and then half assing a prison storyline. It feels like it would have been better focusing on less people but more thoroughly?

Arc Hammer posted:Stephen Graham, Dexter Fletcher, Andrew Scott, James McAvoy, Donnie Wahlberg, Colin Hanks, Tom Hanks twice... I never believed the second cameo to be him but I'm no Tom Hanks expert. Edit the first being the paratrooper in Crossroads, second being the French soldier who shoots the German prisoners?
