quang Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 I just finished watching the 5th episode. IMO the BEST since the beginning, perhaps of all the series. But hey, it’s only me Jan_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I’ve watched through episode 3, but haven’t had much desire to catch up. Just don’t care about any of the characters. They’re all interchangeable and not interesting to me. Oldbaldguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s where you got it wrong. The characters did actually exist and (I think) even wore their real names in the film. I’m sure they wished they were interchangeable and unfortunately they weren’t as you would have discovered if you watched episodes 4 and 5. Spoiler? Moi?

Shoggz Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Yeah, the characters are really standing out to me. 'Bucky' - John Egan in particular, seems like quite the lad.., whereas his good mate Gale Cleven is much more solid and dependable. Haven't watched episode 5 yet and I'm looking forward to it! (Has a long way to go to beat episode 3, for me!) quang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind that the series is based on real characters and their feats during the war. Even the B-17s (names and serials) mentioned in episode 5 are authentic or so I guess. I’ll have to wait until I read the BOOK (thanks @Christa ) Edited February 16 by quang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they wished they were interchangeable and unfortunately they weren’t as you would have discovered if you watched episodes 4 and 5. Spoiler? Moi? I didn’t get anything wrong. Not particularly caring for the show is my opinion, and not “wrong”. Never said the characters didn’t exist or weren’t real. That has nothing to do with it. I watched Band of Brothers and enjoyed it immensely, and those were real historical characters. Maybe it’s because it’s only a 6 episode series, or maybe it’s because a lot of it is in the air, where once they put their oxygen masks on, they all look the same and lose a lot of individuality, but the characters aren’t developed enough to be entertaining. All I know is Elvis is flying a B-17 and is apparently one of a few guys named Bucky, and there’s a navigator that pukes a lot.

Whatever you say Dave. Though you clearly missed what’s the first half of this series is all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dashotgun Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I am very interested in it not enjoying it if you get what I mean. 6 weeks was reportedly the est life span of a crew. Far different then the ground war in that they did not really have the normality of the base in bweteen the episodes of terror. The part where the boy felt so guilty for not dying with the belly turret gunner when teh door jamed was gut wrenching. I am looking forward to episode 5. I am getting into dcs and it is interesting to see the stratagey from the lufwaffe pov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
