Jesse

Wow. That was faster than Warp Speed. Captain Kirk would be jealous yo. Thanks Asia and BJ. 👍💙

Mr Jackpots

Years ago I remember talking to my girlfriend's father about his time in Normandy. He was part of an ill conceived attack against SS troops in which his unit was decimated and he was captured, narrowly escaped being executed by the SS and spent the rest of the war in a POW camp. All he would ever say about it was, 'Captain got a medal'. That's the military, that's war.

Mr Jackpots

The West Point guy. This is what they did with young officers from West Point. They needed that notation on their record that they'd seen combat to be promoted later. The army was protecting them because they were career soldiers, and they needed them for after the war. The other guys were mostly draftees or had joined just for the war and would all leave the army when it was done.

The replacement LT. in this episode is Tom Hanks' kid, Colin.

Darnell Holland

There is a documentary, "We Stand Alone Together," you guys should watch. It features the men from Easy Company that you see at the beginning of every episode.

Catherine LW

I second that! BJ could sit and listen to them talk for over an hour, right up his alley.

Really enjoying y’all’s reaction and comments about this amazing series. After the previous one, this episode is a little bit of a breather before the next episode, which leaves me (and many others) absolutely destroyed. Y’all can’t get it uploaded fast enough for me. Keep up the fantastic job, you two! Much love from The ATL.

Douglas Selby

Please make sure you have an adequate supply of tissues before the next episode.

Gary Morse

that is one of the reasons the men respected captain(now major) winters. He knew when a mission was worthwhile and when it was not worth it.

next episode...ooooof. Its a rough one.

Bill William

The German soldier left on the bank of the river screaming was actually voiced by Tom Hanks himself. And as other's have said his son was played by Lt. Jones. And damn, it seems like BJ emotionally felt Jackson's death more than any other moment in the show. Such a heartbreaking and unnecessary tragedy. 💔Oh and Asia. you caught on to everything in this episode! 👌

Great discussion after the episode! I love that you two are doing this series. It’s not as “hip” as shows like Game of Thrones and many others but… it’s such an important one. It’s on another level of maturity and appreciation. Keep up the good work Asia and BJ.

If you want to listen to more of the stories of the soldiers -- there is an unoffical 11th episode called "We Stand Along Together" which is the documentary where all the interviews come from at the beginning of each episode. The documentary is really good and lasts one hour. It is available on YouTube and kind of ties the whole thing together. Most reactors also do "We Stand Alone Together".

Aurelius

I wish every boss was like Cpt. Winters.

Monica W

Fyi: Lt. Jones is Tom Hanks son. Tom was an executive producer for this series.

Episode 9 is next and it’s indescribable. Soldiers have fought and seen death in horrible ways, freezing wet conditions and now what they see in Germany.

Renaldo

I was watching The Great Raid the other day, a movie about the attempted rescue of POWs from the Bataan Death March at the beginning of ww2 which I highly recommend to you guys, so the mention of no helmets in that was due to being too noisy. can't have that metal pot on your head clanging around.

Ben Schwartz

Someone probably already informed you guys of this, but there is also a documentary that consists of a lot of interview footage of those same guys - it's called "We Stand Alone Together" - there is a copy on youtube. You guys should watch it, you would like it!
