I feel like I almost don't even need to do a poll for this, but I'm going to anyway! Since I'll be wrapping up BoB this week, would you like me to start The Pacific afterward? It would be just for Patreon until BoB and MotA finish on YouTube, because I can only edit so much at a time. But I feel like I need to do all three, otherwise I'll be missing out on the trifecta!

I'll be honest, I don't LOVE The Pacific, but it's still worth seeing. It's a yes from me.

Shawn Lewis

It would be criminal if you didn’t watch The Pacific at this point tbh 😭 Make sure you watch We Stand Alone Together with BoB as well though!!!

Bubba Fett

No spoilers but as different as MotA is from BoB so is Pac, 3 very different POVs in very different worlds would be incomplete to not see them all.

Brett Oliver

While a lot of people say they don’t love the pacific I prefer it to BoB. I read the books it was based off of and I think it’s a better portrayal of the men’s stories it shows

I would suggest that you present "Midway" the 2019 movie as a lead to "The Pacific", it will make the series more understandable. Instead a leap from Pearl Harbor to Guadalcanal, nine months gap between storylines, it would fuse the timeline of the Pacific War when the US was struggling to remain operational!

Alex Amerling

Yes! I have heard good things about it.

Eli

You might as well finish three. Otherwise you'll probably have some people having a fit.

I've seen all 3. I love The Pacific a bit more than Band of Brothers for what the show does for me. Each show has its own feel and you'll learn to love each for their own way of showing the war and may even have a favorite of the 3 main shows.

Think of them as siblings in a family. Each very different, and each showcasing the very different facets of the war that the men who fought it faced. They are tonally different, but the end goal and familial tie is the desire to honor the sacrifice of those who stepped up to the line when the world was mere inches away of tipping to despair. You need to see each one with that understanding, but they tell a brilliant collectives story of the duality of the most beautiful and horrific aspects of humanity, and yet they only reveal the tip of the iceberg. Don't read any books associated with any of the series beforehand if you haven't already, but when you do finish this run, there are a few in particular that are outstanding reads.

And now Hanks and Spielberg need to do one about the aircraft carrier pilots and crews (I want to see their handling of the battle of Midway), one about the submarine service, and one about the tankers . . . a set of six miniseries would be about right.
