After re-watching Band of Brothers over the long Christmas weekend, I watched The Pacific over the long New Years weekend. Definitely very different shows, which I'm chalking up to the differences in source material. The books that were used to create The Pacific were both written by soldiers that served in the Pacific theater of war and focused much more on what the soldiers went through and less on the overarching objectives of the US armed forces.
I still prefer Band of Brothers since the pacing is a bit quicker and it ties in better to the historical record, but The Pacific was also quite excellent.

Season 5 of Buffy is disapointing arc wise. I spent all this time waiting for them to deneuter spike, instead I get an extra dose if that masturbatory whedon humor in the form of an irritating blonde who has fucken awful delivery.
Season six better have a way cooler big bad.

I still remember the scene where Spike fucks Buffy from behind in the rafters of the dance club. Then he tells her to open her eyes and look at her friends dancing below while he fucks her. I'm sure they got away with it because the script just said they were dirty dancing. But the way it was shot...
I'm not complaining though :)
