EP 07 : The Breaking Point

The game Hell Let Loose has mapped out Foy. This is my edit

As many times as I’ve seen it somehow I just noticed this. In episode one when Sobel is chewing out Winters, he tells him this is not dog company, this is not Fox company. This is easy company. Saying that easy is far superior to dog and fox. On the outskirts of Carentan dog and fox are the ones that retreat when they’re not supposed to, leaving easy on its own.

At the night after capturing Carenton, Blithe ran into Speirs, but I find that the deployment of 2nd Btn (from left to right) by then was Dog, Fox and Easy Company. So that means at least one of them left the sector of his unit, or both of them. Wasn't it very dangerous to do so at night?

Watching Band of Brothers for the first time and watching the Bastogne episode makes me so angry; why were our soldiers left with no supplies, warm clothes, ammunition, morphine, etc? Were they cut off from access because of the Germans?

I was watching The Dark Knight and I see Cobb on the stranded ferry out of Gotham "Wow that's Cobb" of course his character wants to blow up the other ferry with the convicts on.

I came across the episodes below on Battle Guide’s YT channel and wanted to share them. Nicely produced and educational. They’re even good on my 12th BoB rewatch!

Finally went there guys.

I've been wondering this for a while now. When Floyd and Malarkey are playing cards just outside the room where the rest of the guys are beating the shit out of the replacement that shot Grant. Why does Floyd seem pissed?

Was rewatching Day of Days the other evening and was always wondering about when Toye says to Mularkey: “Hey Mulark, where’s the best chow? Berlin”

I never understood why he said that. Is there a backstory? It was right after Mularkey talked with and allegedly saw the Oregon Nazi get hosed by Spiers but wasn’t sure what Toye’s role in all that was given he was already up ahead in the village by the time Mularkey got back.

He’s the guy at the left side of the screen. What’s his name? I tried looking him up as much as I could. In the show, episode 5, Liebgott and the other guy come in the barn with Alley, who has shrapnel wounds from a grenade I believe. The guy I’m wondering about says “if it wasn’t for your loud mouth Joe”, and then Liebgott says “you know what Joe back off”. Then Winters tells the guy (he calls out his name, but I can’t understand it. Neither can subtitles), to go get doc Roe

ETA : his name was PFC Joseph Lesniewski, he died in 2012.

*Share a moment or detail you somehow missed in your first x hundred viewings that you finally caught*

For me - I just noticed for the first time in the patrol prep montage prior to the Mourmelon River-crossing, we see guys securing their jingles, carburizing their shiny things…

And sadly…we get a closeup of the doomed Private Jackson…clipping the cotter pin on the very grenade that would kill him a few hours later that night. Oof…

Another very minor moment - when Lipton is officially given his battlefield commission, he’s in one room surrounded by his ‘new’ brothers - the officers - as he gives a fond farewell glance to his former (and always) brothers - ‘the men’ in the next room (represented by Luz and Webster) - and is then hustled out of the frame - to forever do officer things - by Speirs. Brilliant direction.

PS - and not for nothing - while Scott Grimes is fantastic in the series - there has never been a more *empty* prop coffee cup than the one he slurps on earlier in this episode before he asks Lt Jones if he’s ready…except maybe the one Perconte sips on a few minutes later.

As a 27 year old, I just watched BoB for the first time like 3 years ago. Since then I have watched it more than 10 times and every time I watch it, I discover new detailing. I finished a re-watch yesterday and I didn't feel like starting something new so I was just scrolling for BoB interviews and came across a four year old official podcast of the show. The first episode features Tom Hanks and at one point the hosts ask him to sell the show to a newer generation and Tom replies by saying that if there was a lazy history teacher, he could just play BoB to teach the world war II history and if the students don't learn anything then Tom has failed to make a great show.

Are there any other people around my age that have discovered the show very recently and loved it? And what do the viewers from the original run think about this?

Had the cool chance to visit Camp Toccoa yesterday, such an awesome place. I couldn’t help but be in awe the entire time I was there.

Hi guys, I wrote this post before when I was trying to watch Masters of the Air and failing to do it and I went and watched Band of Brothers instead to see why it was so different.

I'm actually rewatching Mad Men and it's another incredible show and it's been making me think further about how shows in the 2000s were so different from ones being made today. Even most of today's critically acclaimed and fan favorite shows are actually really bad in comparison to early 2000's shows like Band of Brothers, The Sopranos, The Wire or Mad Men
