Well, the poll for "The Pacific" was only up for five minutes when it became clear the answer was "YES!" I've also had a flood of comments since I started BoB requesting the documentary, and I have to say, I'd watch it anyway because, you guys know me...I'm a sucker for the behind-the-scenes! I also understand there's a podcast? I don't know much about it, but let me know what that's about! The specific dates for these will go up on the official February posting schedule in the next few days, but I'll plan on watching the documentary first, when I finish BoB, and then start on "The Pacific" right after that. I don't like leaving things unfinished, so I'm looking forward to being able to say I've seen all three series!

The podcast does an episode by episode look at the series, with different cast and crew in each providing insight. It’s great, not sure if it’s reaction material but highly recommended! I’ll let others advise if they’d like to see reactions to those but given your amazing insight and empathy throughout the series, I know you’ll enjoy it nonetheless.

The podcast is definitely worth a listen. There is also a behind the scenes documentary from the actors point of view. Ron Livingston, who played Nixon was asked to shoot footage of the actors as they prepared for their roles. Reel History on YouTube has the whole thing put together as they were originally short videos that were released. Of course watching We Stand Alone Together is recommended as well when you get done with episode 10.

We stand alone together is the most beautiful way that series could have ended.

The Pacific is fantastic. I think the biggest issue some folks run into with it is they often go in expecting Band of Brothers 2.0, and it is not that. It's a very different part of the same war, and its story is told in a very different way. Given your tendency to be analytical and explore each episode of Band of Brothers almost as though it is an individual film (which they basically are), I think you will really get a lot out of The Pacific. But that theater of the war and, in particular, the island hopping campaign was unlike any other place American troops were deployed, and The Pacific does not pull its punches any more than Band of Brothers does. Looking forward to it.

I also strongly suggest you check out Ron Livingston's video diary about the BoB boot camp most of the main cast had to go through prior to filming the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UzzPkhNiAc It's definitely worth the watch, even if you don't make a reaction video to it.

Pls don't watch the BoB doc before having seen all episodes. Too many spoilers....
