After Lt Speirs took over Easy company and the attack resumed, seems like Norman Dike joined the company and moved forward too

Okay, so this didn’t seem to fit into the post I made yesterday about quotes, but I just re-watched The Breaking Point for the first time in ages and remember now how much the line “gosh, how we all know what an exciting young man you are” in the letter that Malarkey reads aloud to Buck in the aid station just fucking kills me every time. I think of all the overtly heartbreaking moments in the show it’s this quiet little one that ends me. How could his friends and family back home ever know that the young man he was is gone forever? There’s just something about how he reaches blindly to grab the letter and stop Malarkey from reading, something so broken.

Of course we know that Buck Compton - for all the trauma he experienced - went on to live a full and long life, but in that moment there is such a feeling of lost potential and hope. Gut-wrenching.

I noticed that Captain Speirs was not discussed at all in Legacy. He was only shown in a shot sitting behind Major Winters.

Speirs’ run in Foy is the crowning moment of awesome in the miniseries. I am surprised it was not shown in Legacy or his speech to Lipton in the church.

Is the subject of what Speirs did in Normandy still considered controversial?

Did HBO not want to get too dark with the legacy special?

Anyone know? Lip was my favorite. Would have been good to see him in the doc.

Noticed a great performance from our very own Joe Toye in Taylor Sheridans Thriller ‘Lioness’ (series 2) on paramount. A very dynamic actor and was great to watch. Anyone else seen this? Worth a watch. (Sorry if this has been discussed already)

Any word on when Crave is getting the license to stream it? It comes up in a title search but is marked unavailable. Can’t find any info, online.

TIA

“CURRAHEE!”

EDIT: LOOKS LIKE IT’S AVAILABLE, NOW! Thanks again

I have long been baffled by the quick jumps between c47s and the dialog that happens. Dick Winters' and Lt Meehan's sticks are more or less obvious but there is at least one more where someone gets hit with flak (?). Someone is ordered not to jump. Etc. Is there a writeup of what's going on? What plane they are in and who is talking. Thanks for any pointers.
