Band of Brothers 1x5 | Watch Along

Crossroads was the perfect title for this episode. The episode is the midpoint of the series. Much of it is about Winters having to transition away from leading Easy Company to higher responsibilities. It starts with the battle at small crossroads in Holland, and ends with them moving into defend Bastogne, a strategic crossroads that would be critical to the coming Battle of the Bulge. On a lighter note, I always found it funny how in the flashback, when Sink is promoting Winters to battalion XO, he tells him not to worry about administration. Then in the beginning of the episode, Sink is riding Winters' ass about paperwork, and the first half of the episode is basically a flashback as Winters completes said paperwork.

For anyone that has issues with speed sync i recommend using global speed extension (i use it in chrome browser) i set it on 0.96 speed.

Here’s a detail I noticed after watching the series for a while: when the smoke grenade is thrown, the men from Toccoa immediately react, jumping up as soon as it pops. They've been using this equipment since D-Day—about five months—and they recognize the sound and know how it should behave. However, in this instance, the grenade malfunctions and takes too long to disperse. Peacock, the new replacement lieutenant introduced in the previous episode, who was colorblind and lacks the combat experience of the non-commissioned officers and other privates and corporals in the platoon. Despite holding a higher rank, he doesn't have the same instincts developed from months of frontline action. When the grenade doesn't work as expected, Peacock tells the men to wait. The Toccoa veterans, despite recognizing the malfunction, have to follow his order instead of relying on the combat instincts they've built over the past five months and following Winters like he said to. Also the 2 companies moment always floors me, 1 platoon took out a majority of 2 Companies. (3 platoons make up a Company which is made of 177 men, so 1 Platoon took out nearly 354 men)

Peacock wasn't a replacement. He was a Toccoa man who jumped into Normandy with Easy, and fought with them the whole time. It's the first time he's featured, I think, but the actual man was there the whole time (and, it seems from Easy company writings, not popular at all, and viewed as an idiot).

Fun bit of US Army history. Easy Company's rescue of the British paratroopers forged a relationship between the two nations' airborne units that continues to this day. During that party after the operation, the British paratroopers gifted their maroon berets to the men of E Co. out of gratitude. A few years later, because of that, the maroon beret became the official garrison headgear for all US Army Airborne soldiers. They still wear the Maroon Beret to this day.

Every reactor gets distracted by Jimmy Fallon and then misses one of the best lines in the series! "We're paratroopers lieutenant we're supposed to be surrounded"

See I completely missed that he was there the whole time from what I had read. At least he was presented right on the show as incompetent as he was said to be! But they definitely present him as a replacement in the show for some odd reason.
