The Pacific Looks Awesome

I often wonder what life would have been like if I had left home to battle in World War II at 18 instead of engaging in my happy life at U.Va.

The producers of The Pacific, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, sought to answer that question as truthfully as possible when they made 2001's awe-inspring Band of Brothers. The ten-part series really felt more like a movie, and has had more replay value for me than any other show I've ever come across.

We're in for another ten-part epic starting this Sunday, March 13, on HBO at 9 PM. Somehow, HBO overlooked the Cav Daily when they sent out advance copies of the show, so I can't promise that you'll enjoy it. Though, I'm gonna wager this will be worth watching.
