watching gladiator now, before i go watch gladiator 2 with my crush tomorrow afternoon. and now teagan publishes ep3 of BoB, i guess i know what i'll watch after dinner, i love the intro and the bloopers. greetings from europe

Dan M

I knew this one was going to be hard hitting for you because it focuses on the struggles of one particular man to come to terms with the horror unfolding around him. His inability to cope with all the chaos and violence around him is so psychologically devastating it leads to temporary blindness. I can’t imagine the level of stress, anxiety, and suffering it would take to cause your brain to shut out the images all around you. The scene with Malarkey picking up his laundry is so sad, realizing what it means that so many bundles of laundry have not been picked up.

Greg

the scene where the tank rolls over a german soldier, was filmed like that. apparently the stunt team put a coffin into the ground, and when the tank rolled over the actor, he got pushed into the coffin as the tank rolled over him, making it look real. at least that's what i read

Loving your reactions to this series so far!😁 just wondering if you've ever looked into other sites for posting the full length reactions? Other patrons I follow use sites like vimeo and sync.com that way they can post the full unedited/not blurred video with the reaction. They just post the thumbnail on patreon with a link to the other site. Just a thought 🙂

You're quite correct, they had dug a narrow trench and the stuntman shoved himself down into it, though I'm not sure they would have used a real tank because it still would be incredibly dangerous. We just see a portion of the tank in that scene so it might have been some replica with just one track for the scene's purpose.

Small happy fact: the man in the building that blew up, Tipper, survived his wounds. He lost an eye and had to relearn to walk with a cane, but he went to college, got married, became an English teacher and actually only died a few years ago. His daughter is in the state Congress in Colorado. Pretty cool guy

Garrett Slankard

The ending is actually wrong. Blithe ended up surviving and went to serve in the Korean War and was a decorated soldier.

celilmandir

I had written her (spoiler free) about dismissing entirely the last panel of text at the end but she probably was too caught up in the emotions of the moment to remember about it.

celilmandir

And he was 61 or 62 when he had his daughter. She's now an attorney for the city of Denver.

I just don’t know how that works because it’s illegal to share the whole piece of media. “Illegal redistribution” is what it’s called and it’s a felony offense. I used to share the reactions with the whole movie until I got a firm warning there would be legal action unless I stopped. Really don’t wanna go to prison haha NGL

Dan M

Now that’s courage and determination personified right there.

Clay F

That's illegal.

Dan M

Got my tickets for Gladiator 2 last night for tonight. Going with my buddy and his son, who is my godson. We’ve been looking forward to this movie for a long time.

JakeM794

I LOVED your edelweiss story! It doesn’t matter if we didn’t ask for it, we love to hear your additions to your reactions like those! It’s even more meaningful that you shared it because of how much of an impact it had on you!

Robert Durant

This is where each episode begins to focus on a particular character and/or theme for the rest of the series. Also very good catch noticing the music playing during scene where Malarkey and Moore are on the scooter, I never realized that was an instrumental version of the opening theme.

Clay F

That's one of the best reactions to this episode I have seen. Invested and expressive. Looking forward to your reactions to the remaining episodes (and to The Pacific if you react to that). No need to apologize for any previous reaction to a movie becoming out-of-sync by a couple of seconds -- minor. This reaction was perfectly in sync. I like the way you take notes. I would do that if I were a reactor (but there is no way I could be a reactor -- in contrast, you are good at it). Welsh is generally called "Harry" (his first name) by the other officers. That laundry scene at the end is a somber scene. That's cool you already knew of the Edelweiss flower. That's sad your great grandfather had Alzheimer's (the thought of getting Alzheimer's or dementia is scary). I had a similar experience as you but with my grandmother who I was close to. She had dementia and didn't recognize anyone except her husband (my grandfather). When I visited her in the nursing home, she recognized me and said my name -- the nurses were surprised. She told me she was cold and pleaded with me to take her home. When I left, I bought her a house coat, but she died a few days later before I was able to give it to her. Be prepared for YT comments to make a big deal out of Blithe not dying in 1948. That was the info the series had. The series is generally historically accurate and a high-quality series but there are nuances that are off. As for the effectiveness of the series, there is no reason to make a big deal out of that one nuance over other nuances that are off. I understand that it a big deal for Blithe history and Blithe family, but no reason from an episode/series perspective to be so focused on that one nuance and always point it out.

samcro92

I think once you're not distributing the full reaction on a public platform for free(like youtube) you should be ok. The likes of vimeo and sync are private, you have to have a paid subscription to the patron to gain access to the links to download the full reactions. The watch alongs can sometimes be a pain because I'm (and probably a good few of your subscribers) are not from America, so we don't always have access to our own copies to watch along with. Just a thought anyways 🙂 also the other patrons, I've followed them for years and they're still doing there reactions from home and not jail cells 🤣🤣

Greg

he died in 1968 i think

Dan M

I certainly wouldn’t risk getting into any trouble. And your channel is starting to really gain traction and a dedicated following. It’s really not that big of a deal to sync up our own copies of the movies/series that you’re reacting to. I’d much rather do that than have you risk getting reprimanded for illegal use of the material.

Ashley

everyone who does it that way gets nuked eventually. then their channel and all their videos get deleted. not worth the risk.

Brad

I have to say again that you are the absolute best movie reactor out there you true love and emotions are just the most genuine of them all. I know that you don't want any spoiler alert but just as we all know in war it does get harder to watch not only because we get vested in the people we get to know and love but it is war. They were the GREATEST generation and they truly lived up to that reputation and thank you so much for doing this series because they don't get enough credit for the sacrifice they made. May the all mighty God be with you always Love B.

Baldemort

Hey Teegan. There needs to be some clarification. YES the series got Blithe wrong. He was actually a very amazing solider with very great accuracy with a rifle. HOWEVER, members of Easy Company express they had no idea what happened to blithe as they lost contact with him until way later in life, as such they thought he died, he never attended the Easy Company reunions either. The book itself states that he died and this information was never corrected. This isnt the fault of the show, they were going off the book and as a show, they of course add some embellishment to the story, which isnt a sin. In HBOs defense, I still think it adds a great section to this show to give a great perspective on, wrestling your conscience of the stress of taking another persons life, being under fire, and overcoming it. The YouTube comments love to make this show look bad because of this little embellishing part of the story. This whole show has some minor inaccuracies to make the show more entertaining. Yes, they are telling a real story, but we also have to remember its a TV show first and foremost, but its 85% accurate to the real story. So majority of people who read the book brush off the embellishments. Really only this episode is the most inaccurate part of the whole show. The Easy company documentary you will watch after the show will prove how accurate it truely was.

Baldemort

Reactors who dont cover their movies and share illegally, just because they are not sued yet does not mean they wont be taken down. They are playing dangerous dumb game and they shouldnt be used as an example of being responsible content creators. Lets not make Teegan feel self conscious or coerce her into risking her career or freedoms over watching movies.

TeeZee22

Recently saw someone comment to you on Youtube saying that you aren't a creator because you are reacting. They couldn't be more wrong! The shows are good on their own, but you make them even better to watch with you. Your reactions, and especially your commentary and observations, add a whole new layer of entertainment to everything you react to!

Baldemort

Yeah, people like that need to go touch grass. They take watching movies way to seriously.

Dan M

Teegan and other reactors are creating new experiences for their patrons and subscribers when it comes to movies and shows we’ve seen before, and those that we haven’t yet seen and are experiencing for the first time on a channel like this. I’ve seen Braveheart at least a dozen times before, maybe more, but when I watched along with Teegan the other night, it gave me a whole new perspective and appreciation for the movie. If that’s not creating, then I don’t know what is.

Current international treaties provide for the retention of personal property by captured soldiers as well as issues of personal equipment in their possession when captured (including clothing, helmets, rank insignia and medals, and protective equipment such as gas masks), but excluding certain issue items such as weapons, horses, maps, and military documents. Non-personal equipment, vehicles, artillery pieces, ships, stockpiles of food and other material belong to the capturing force and it may be used without any restriction. Perconte’s collection of watches comes from dead bodies, who don’t exactly count anymore. In the previous episodes in the comments, there was talk about Winters not getting the Medal of Honor, and that it had gone to a man named Robert Cole. It’s during this battle for Carentan that Cole earned it, performing a bayonet charge against the Germans. The show focuses on Easy, but they were part of a much larger force attacking the town. Medics and chaplains would normally be considered off limits if they were not armed, so they would not always worry about being out and about during combat. It’s hinted a little during Ep2 when Malarkey runs out into the open and the Germans stop shooting, Guarnere says “They must think he’s a medic or something.” The rider on the white horse was one of the main cast’s drill instructor during their “actor boot camp” prior to filming the show. He’s an excellent bronco rider, bareback and all. He was in the Marines, getting an honorable discharge at the rank of Sergeant. They had some vague idea of what PTSD could be, but back then they called it either shell-shocked in WWI, or “battle fatigue” in WWII, making it sound like you were just a little tired and a good nap and a new pair of socks would get you all chipper again, a rather asinine expectation considering the possible mental state of a man suffering from it. Lt. Speirs actually did shoot one of his own men, who was drunk and was disobeying orders. There was an argument, and the man raised his rifle at Speirs, but Speirs shot him first, an act witnessed by his entire platoon. Speirs reported the incident to his own superior, Jerre Gross who performed a brief investigation and deemed it self-defense. Gross was killed the very next day and nothing else ever came out of that incident. Besides, Command was typically willing to close their eyes on events like these in times of war, because men like Speirs who were fearless and never hesitated to engage the enemy were far too valuable to get rid of them. Talbert was bayoneted by Smith because Talbert was wearing a German poncho, and in the dark Smith confused him for the enemy (“He looked like a Kraut..”) . We can see Talbert showing off his poncho in the beginning of the episode, right after someone else displays their nazi flag. Walter “Smokey” Gordon (his nickname came from his habit of chewing tobacco) and another man, Paul Rogers (not featured in the show), loved composing poems and stories about their friends' mishaps, and were always delighted the more their "victim" would get angry about it. The Night of the Bayonet was one such example of their work. Gordon, while injured, noticed that some army officials would come do rounds in the hospital and award a Purple Heart to anyone not having one, so he started hiding his under his pillow, and earned quite a few this way. Blithe actually lived until 1967, this is the one big mistake of this show, and it’s just strange that digital episodes haven’t been corrected on the last text panel. Blithe was shot in the shoulder, not the neck, and was sent back to the US. The men of Easy simply lost touch with him, and two of them told Stephen Ambrose that they had attended his funeral in 1948, and Ambrose just assumed they were correct about it, and included that in his book. Since the show is based on his book, the mistake was carried over. Blithe served in Korea, earned a Silver Star, three Bronze Stars. He died while on active duty in Germany, from complications/liver failure following a surgery for a perforated ulcer, after returning from Bastogne where he had attended some Battle of the Bulge ceremonies. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery with full honors. Blithe had become a chronic alcoholic over the years, and his family figured he simply drank himself to death. His wife would tell their son, when he’d ask about war, "You just don't know how badly the war messed up your dad's mind." Despite the episode of hysterical blindness actually happening, many of his fellow soldiers readily described Blithe as “some kind of bad-ass”. I just love that laundry ending sequence, a perfect depiction of “show, don’t tell”, giving the audience a glimpse of all the men who didn’t get to come back from combat. And the involuntary cruelty of it, a reminder for Malarkey of his companions now gone. Of those names listed there, Evans, Moya, Miller, Owen, Collins, Elliot were aboard Meehan's plane and died with him in the crash at the beginning of Ep2. And, Teegan, you made a comment during this episode that is ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON, but you’ll have to wait until Ep10 to find out what it is. Another fantastic reaction from you, definitely looking for more, just like the episodes, they keep getting better, you beautiful soul you! Your edelweiss story was absolutely touching, priceless memories you'll carry with you for the rest of your life. And french is my native language, so it made me smile when you said "Mémère" :)

Dan M

You can’t see me, but I’m standing up saluting you and your comments. 🫡

celilmandir

It's always fascinating to watch someone reacting to their first viewing of a show or movie, even when you've seen it several times. I've watched BoB so often, I know it pretty much line by line from start to finish, and I can even watch Teegan's reaction at work with only the blurry insert in the corner of the screen, and I still know what's actually going on. People just like to complain about anything and everything, envy and jealousy are nasty things.

2026-09-30 13:00 Yeah, people too often orget this is a show and not a documentary. It's not gonna be 100% accurate. There will be some things added, removed, omitted or modified.

This ep is hard to watch reactions of for me. mostly because of the blithe thing. No ones fault. I just cant.

Robert da Spruce

“I’m also a little nervous. At some point, the tears are going flow. I just don’t know when”. Cut to….Teagan immediately gets teary during the intro 😄 As others have said, they got what ultimately happened to Blithe wrong. But I still think it doesn’t take away the point of focusing on his story. How everyone deals with the terror of war differently. And that you really don’t know how you’ll respond until you’re in that situation. Also, thank you for sharing your story about your Great Grandfather. It was very touching

John Thomas

Wow Teegan....I was totally blown away by your reaction and your commentary at the end of the episode....never apologize for showing us your emotions to an episode, scene or a personal memory if it truly touches you....that is why I have loved watching along with you. What a lovely story about your family. Those are memories you will always treasure. Just a few tidbits about the episode. The motorcycle that Malarkey and the other member of Easy Company (can't remember his name) were riding in was kind of "commandeered" by those two.....at least from what I've heard. After Easy Company landed back in Englad most of the company returned to their base by trucks except for these two who had ridden the motorcycle back instead. At the end when Lipton makes the announcement they were going back.....the 101st was supposed to assist the Allied Army in breaking out of the Normandy countryside; however, the Americans launched a large attack that overran the landing zone they were supposed to land in meaning they didn't have to make that particular jump. So they were in England a little longer and this will lead you to episode 4.

sammy

We still need our own copy? It's not hard to have link to the real reaction

Eric Alzen

as has already been stated, they got Blithe wrong. not only did he recover, he also served in the korean war!

celilmandir

You're always gonna need your own copy if you watch her patreon reactions. Otherwise wait until she edits the youtube version.

Dan M

The story you told about you and your poppa in your outro was beautiful. Thank you for sharing that. And yes, you were right. Edelweiss is usually associated with strength, courage, love, and devotion.

Alex Gorell

Loved hearing that story about your poppa Teagan.

William Aultman

Wow! Your reaction was amazing. I keep telling myself that they can't get any better, then everyone you post is better. This on! Better than anyone I've ever seen. I love your details about the scenes, the characters and most of all honest, and very personal reaction. I love the way you tell us about the reaction and yourself, at the same time. Your, very personal touch, in your reaction, makes me hang on every word! Any your story about you great grand pa was so amazing, and heartwarming! Oh,........ by the way, I love the fact you made "this" grown man cry! Thank You! Can't wait for the next one!

Joe

Hi Teegan from NZ. I absolutely love your insightful reactions to BoB. It is so well made as you are finding out. Understanding the camaraderie developed in military training is really highlighted in this mini series & the emotion, comprehension & humor you show does veterans of your country proud, I’m sure. The song Edelweiss has deep meaning for me also & I am humbled that you shared your story of your Grandfather’s clarity when singing this. Singing that was a beautiful gift you gave him.

Michael Cowell

Histerical blindness is what happens when you see to much that your brain just shuts down and reboots itself. Blythe saw a lot in such a short time that his brain just couldn't handle it. If i am wrong please correct me as I am just trying to remember what i was told years ago. Also just caught up with you Teagen, I love your insights and don't be afraid to show you emotions, also i cannot wait for later this week when Episode 4 comes out. Your outro is amazing, the way you put the insights of the men handling fear, so guessing Luz is humour then. I have watched Band of Brothers over 10 times and I never thought about it that way. Thank you very much for that. You are the first reactor i have patreoned to. Really looking forward to the tv shows you will be reacting to.

Larry Darrell

I think I cried more in the Outro than the episode. Thank You. I can’t say it enough. Thank You. What you’re doing is Perfect. 🙏 PS: if you ever get interested in Classic films, there is a WWII film, made post war, that works as a great companion to this episode. Twelve O’Clock High (1949)… starring Gregory Peck. I highly recommend.

Ziro the Hutt

I've seen Marc Warren in plenty of things after this, but his haunting, expressive eyes he has during this episode are always what gets me. They tell so much without him really speaking about it all. I'm sure others have posted about the error, but the fact that Blithe did survive, is irrelevant to what is shown here. Its about how different people react to this environment. Spears (who deals with each day as if he were dead already to numb himself), Winters are cool and calm under fire and before and after the battles. The reverend has his God to psychologically act as a shield for him, as he gives Last Rites in the middle of battle. We also see Sgt. Martin who is in the foxhole with Blithe, sleep no problem. The other Lt. gets through it by drinking, which happens to someone else later; and Blithe is just terrified from the off. He's not a coward, but just isn't able to find it within himself to fight, so hides away (I'd do the same I expect!). He then becomes hysterical so much so, that his sight fails him until Winters helps calm his nerves. Its also Winters who brings him out of his shell later as he begins to open fire. Then when he kills a German, it shows to him, allied to what others allude to, that its all just some sort of warped game, whether its them or us, just get through each day, and kill or be killed. This event hardens him and we subsequently see he's able to fight after. Its a horrifying thing to do, to break ones psyche in order to become a killer, some are more easily malleable than others, and are able to switch it on and off, and its fascinating but tragic that in scenarios like this, it has to be done. As to the scene when the lads are on the bike on leave, and almost get killed, it happened to one of the most famous soldiers of World War I. T.E. Lawrence, of Lawrence of Arabia fame, was killed on his motorcycle driving a country lane, soon after coming back from Arabia.

Speaking of World War II films and actors, Teegan should check out Audie Murphy who became an actor after the War after his extraordinary career of service. And it ties in with the trauma and fear theme, that he was a genuine war hero, who slept with a loaded gun under his pillow until the end of his days in the Seventies, just because it comforted him to have one there - just in case. And he was a great advocate of mental health support for veterans too. Great man.

Larry Darrell

I talked about Audie Murphy and the autobiographical film, To Hell and Back (1955), in which Audie Murphy played himself, in the comments for Hacksaw Ridge. He was a great man, soldier and actor. To Hell and Back (1955) would be a great introduction.

Samuek

Actually Blithe didn't die shortly afterwards, he lived well past the war with his family, that was a part they got wrong I'm pretty sure. I can't remember where I found that part out but I'm sure you could find it online.

MertzRocks

Moore (Moor? More?) was driving the bike.
