This episode genuinely destroyed me- I think it will stick with me for awhile. This show is great, but damn is it brutal!

Here we go :'( This one hurts so much. I'm glad Sledge was able to gain back some humanity after seeing the old lady. It brought him back from the darkest of places. Reminds me of the way a soldier is supposed to function according to Speirs, without compassion, without remorse, Sledge was deep in that mindset for sure. Episode 10 will be emotional.

Yeah the baby scene was so fucked I was shocked

DonkyDave

Congratulations, you've watched one of the darkest episodes of TV ever made

Sledge still has his humanity. Will be good for him to get the hell out of there. I wasn't sure what to think about Eugene at the beginning of the series, but he became my favorite character in the series.

I was concerned about this episode when you announced doing the series, if you haven't watched it by the time you see the comments I promise the 10th episode is much much easier

Thank you for sharing your experience with this show with us. This episode truly shows what war really is, all those that are affected. I don't think there's any other ww2 episode or movie aside from episode 9 of Band of Brothers, that hits this deep when it comes to the subject of civilians in war. Rest in Peace to all those that paid and continue to pay the ultimate price for the ego, arrogance, and incompetence of world leaders, past and present.

This was the other one I was worried for you to watch Teegan. I'm glad you made it through, but sorry you had to endure it. Many personal triggers for you as well as just a hard campaign for those that were in it. Watching this one always makes me think of my grandfather. He was in the Army and was on the boat on the way to staging for the attack on mainland Japan. He ended up being part of the occupying troops in Japan. Seeing how horrible this fight was, I always think that if they had not surrendered, I would likely not exist. One of the reasons I can not comprehend people that say the two bombs were not necessary. Yes, they were horrifically destructive, but not nearly as destructive as we would have had to be to end the war with an invasion. Episode 10 is emotional, but not as rough as the rest. Not even as rough as Points in BoB. Go hug and hold your little one tight!

Episode 9 was always the hardest to watch. But, in a way I think it's good that they didn't shy away from how horrible war really is. Obviously, this was just a tiny sliver of what those people really experienced. But, for those of us fortunate enough to be spared that horror, I think it's important that we not avert our eyes from what took place. Lest we forget the lessons of the past.

Next one is a lot easier.

ShadowKnight

Yep, this series was designed to destroy you ,and that's why i like it more than Band of Brothers, no romanticization of war. I don't mean to say that BoB was romantic in any way, it's just BoB did hold back on things like shown here (only with the exception of episode 9 with the concentration camp), The Pacific didn't.

David Trumble

Completely unrelated to the episode but it sounds like you fixed your audio levels? If so, huzzah!

SEAN ƴü KAY

As an audio engineer myself I concur...it's not a long way off from great anymore, and it's getting closer and it's very improved...6.8/10 up from 4.1/10...arbitrary numbers but much much better

Did you watch Band of Brothers? Muck and Penkala? Renee (who was based on a real Belgian woman), Buck and Blythe? Jackson? I get what you are trying to say but to imply that Band of Brothers held back is incorrect. It addressed PTSD and Battle Fatigue just as well as Pacific but one was individualistic and the other was company based. Also just as a side note, the Pacific also didn't have as much detail to historical accuracy as Band of Brothers. Storytelling was primary, soldiers memoirs were secondary, and historical accuracy was tertiary. And they admit that the Pacific inaccuracies were far more intentional to help the story flow. I still think how Blithe and Dyke were portrayed in BoB is more aggregish, but just a note on that.

ShadowKnight

I wouldn't say that I liked the Pacific more for that reason if I didn't watch Band of Brothers, and where in the hell did I mention anything about historical accuracy? that is not the the point in my comment. I shared my personal opinion about why I prefer The Pacific over BoB, nothing more nothing less, and what exactly do you get from "what I'm trying to say"? It addressed PTSD and battle Fatigue just as well? it's a subjective matter, and that's more than fine by me, you are entitled to your opinion, and I entitled to mine, we could argue about this forever whether it is correct or not, no one is going to win. If you just think the opposite or "just as well", you could have said that in a much simpler and shorter comment but since you've already started, I'll make it clear. Don't try to Impose your personal point of view on me tough, I've got my own. Just because you say BoB held back it's "incorrect" as your opinion, it doesn't make it true, at least not for me and neither for anyone else who agree with me, and don't ever speak for everyone in cases like this. I figured that it's The Pacific is the one that addressed those things better from personal experience and POV (I saw and see things that made PTSD and battle fatigue that shown in The Pacific awfully familiar, and that's an understatement to begin with) that's because I served from the age of 18-21 (3 Years) and been in some places. The history of my country is mostly wars if not only (I'm not an American) and for the sake of keeping the discussion political free (I have zero tolerance towards politicization) I'm not telling you which country exactly. So, here you go, there are some people who think The Pacific did it better, some think it didn't and some think, like you it did just as well, that's the world we live in what can you do? and It's okay. Btw, Muck and Penkala, Renee Lemaire (that I know she was a real Belgian woman, and buried in Bastogne wrapped in a parachute in the local cemetery), Buck and blithe, Jackson, what about them? individualistic and company based, historical accuracies or inaccuracies, are totally irrelevant, couldn't care less due to the reasons I've mentioned above, in one final note: I know the facts and the "accuracies", but my experience and opinion don't care about the facts in this case, just for the fucking sake of this argument (if that's how you wanna to call it). I hope this is our first and last interaction, have a nice life, the END.

"did you find anything" yeah his humanity.

The battle of Okinawa lasted 82 days. Estimates vary, but the top end of the range puts the Okinawan civilian death toll at around 150,000. The pre-war population of the island was ~300,000. I'm sure nowhere in the world was overly pleasant to be during WW2, but Okinawa has to be a frontrunner for the worst place of all. The entire population violently reduced by half in just under three months; a truly apocalyptic scenario.

So add some more context, when sledge is holding the old woman in real life he ran out to find a corpsman (medic) to help her but by the time he returned another marine had already mercy killed her. But yeah overall pretty accurate episode on how the fighting went on Okinawa, it was a joint invasion by both army and marines, the marines had advanced north of the island meeting little resistance (the Japanese army had decided to defend the southern part of the island) the army had the the hardest fighting at first hence why at the beginning of the episode you see them relieving them. To add something the people of Okinawa weren’t considered proper “Japanese” heance why the soldiers had no problem using them as forced labor, cannon fodder, or shields because they were second class citizens. So when the other were giving cathy shit snd found out he was drafted that made them think less of him is due to the fact that before the war the marine corps was the smallest branch but they only took volunteers, much like the airborne they only wanted the best and most dedicated because as the saying goes “the few, the proud, the marines” but during WW2 the corp needed more men so they started drafting them meaning for about 30 years the marines lost this spirit it wasn’t till after Vietnam did the marines return to a volunteer force and regain its “spirt de corps” At the end those are B-29 super fortress
