Band of Brothers Episode 7 *FULL LENGTH REACTION
Added 2023-09-11 15:00:06 +0000 UTCHappy Monday!!
I have to say, it feels like this series is getting better and better every episode. It's consistently amazing, and it feels like the states are higher each time.
This was one of my favorite episodes, and seeing it from Lipton's point of view made it all so much better. Dike was so incompetent and it always frustrates me when someone is put in a leadership position, that they have no business being in! People RELY on this guy to be smart and not get them killed.
I'm really glad that we got to get a bit more information about Speirs, he is so different from everyone else, and I like his reasoning at the end of why he doesn't deny the rumors.
Easy Company seems to have pulled the short straw every time. They keep being put in the most difficult situations, which I guess because of their exemplary training and performance, they keep getting.
This series is a lot to take in, and it's just really immersive and captivating.
For this style of reaction, you need your own copy to watch the episode. Also know there is an extension that allows you to do Picture-in-Picture in case you are interested: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/picture-in-picture-extens/hkgfoiooedgoejojocmhlaklaeopbecg?hl=en
We've entered the last year of the war... let's see how things go for Easy Company.

That's neat to know where they got the inspiration and how they came about it too, thank you!

2023-11-16 17:58:04 +0000 UTCIn this episode they said that Malarkey's best friends in the Company were Muck, Penkala, and Compton. Muck and Malarkey had another good friend, Fritz Niland, a sergeant from the 501st Regiment, who was sent home in July 1944 because his brothers in the 82nd Airborne Division and 29th Infantry Division were killed on D-Day, and his other brother was shot down in New Guinea in the Pacific theater. When Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg read the story in Stephen Ambrose's book and talked to Malarkey, the Niland brothers became the inspiration for "Saving Private Ryan", though in real life no one was sent to find him, the Army just waited for him to be pulled off the line with the rest of the 101st in July. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niland_brothers

2023-11-16 17:43:56 +0000 UTCI'm glad to hear that!! It's been such an epic journey so far, and there is more to it. I'm really wanting to see more Spielberg movies/series now

2023-09-17 09:37:28 +0000 UTCThat's what I realized at the end when I had a few seconds to think instead of trying to pay attention to what was happening on screen so I don't miss things π A lot of times when I edit I question how I didn't think of something that should have been obvious but I realize that I'm more focused on watching than thinking. It feels like some battles in war are the equivalent of bringing a knife to a gun fight, it's quite horrible
