Band of Brothers 1x08 Full Length Reaction

Getting closer to Germany! Get ready for some tears :(

Another great reaction. I never noticed how well the night scenes were lit until you pointed it out and now I can't not see it. And yeah episode 9 is the roughest episode of the series. Its a wonderfully made, haunting episode, but yeah...bring the tissues. And come to think of it, bring tissues for ep 10 as well. Hank's character, Lt. Henry Jones did survive the war, but unfortunately he died in a car crash in I think 47 or 48 while he was still stationed in Germany. Joined up after the youtube band of brothers debut, and happy to be here! Keep up the great work Jacqui. Also you forgot to put the ding when you pointed to your name at the start of video!

Jacqui, given your film study and engagement, I would also recommend after finishing the 10 episodes that you find the behind the scenes video diaries that Ron Livingston made for the production which give snippets of the boot camp experience the cast underwent. You can find them all grouped together on YouTube (it’s less than an hour altogether) or on the physical media, it’s one of the extras. Probably not reaction material but I think you would enjoy it,

I know you've mentioned the music, and especially the opening theme several times. I've never been a huge fan of Michael Kamen, but he captured the tone of this show so well. The incredible main theme is so sad, hopeful, heartbreaking, and patriotic. Paired with the visuals in the credits, I still find myself getting choked up sometimes. This has always been my least favorite episode. That means I give it an 8/10 rather than a 9/10 or 10/10 that I give all the others. The point of view of Webster just seemed odd. I guess because I never really connected with him earlier. But I get the story of someone coming in or back in after Bastogne was important. Still my favorite part was Winters telling them not to go on that last patrol. What a great man. Now onto Germany and the eventual conclusion of the war. Yes, very hard episodes, but very much worth it.

Hello Jacqui! Great reaction to Episode 8. As you mentioned the writers kept coming up with viewing the war from different perspectives. In the case of Episode 8, they had the perspective of Private David Kenyon Webster who before enlisting in the Army Paratroops was an English Lit major at Harvard (Cobbs comments calling him professor). After the war David Webster wrote his memoir of the war "Parachute Infantry: An American Paratrooper's Memoir of D-Day and the Fall of the Third Reich". Excellent book available on Amazon. And it is cool you noticed the "oner"!

I totally get you, these deaths feel avoidable, I think that the ones before you're so overwhelmed by the violence and the constant death that your brain kind of assumes death as a part of what is going to happen. But just like the soldiers, now it just feels like they're dying for nothing. Also you being worried about Nix is relatable. One thing I love about the series is that it's even better the second or third time around, once you know the faces of all these men, you go back to ep one and suddenly you start noticing them everywhere.

Hi Jacqui, I haven't caught up with all of your BoB vids yet, but if it's not too late, and you haven't watched Ep10 yet, here's a little something that might clarify a lot of what's mentioned in that episode. I've watched a lot of BoB channels and this is something that's often unclear for reactors, because they don't really explain it at all in the episode. No spoilers, so don't be worried about reading. Points were awarded according to the following formula (a soldier needed 85 to be discharged): - One point for each month in service in the Army - One additional point for each month in service overseas - Five points for each campaign (See list below) - Five points for a medal for merit or valor (like Bronze or Silver Stars for example, the medals awarded to some of the Easy company members who made the assault on Brecourt Manor in Episode 2) - Five points for a purple heart (awarded to all soldiers who were wounded in action) - Twelve points for each dependent child up to three dependent children Campaigns: Egypt-Libya ... 11 June 1942 - 13 February 1943 Air Offensive, Europe ... 4 July 1942 - 5 June 1944 Algeria-French Morocco ... 8 - 11 November 1942 Tunisia ... 17 November 1942 - 13 May 1943 Sicily ... 9 July - 17 August 1943 Naples-Foggia ... 9 September 1943 - 21 January 1944 Anzio ... 22 January - 24 May 1944 Rome-Arno ... 22 January - 9 September 1944 Normandy ... 6 June - 24 July 1944 Northern France ... 25 July - 14 September 1944 Southern France ... 15 August - 14 September 1944 North Apennines ... 10 September 1944 - 4 April 1945 Rhineland ... 15 September 1944 - 21 March 1945 Ardennes-Alsace ... 16 December 1944 - 25 January 1945 Central Europe ... 22 March - 11 May 1945 Po Valley ... 5 April - 8 May 1945

So I have to say they did Webster a little dirty in this episode. He wasn't cowardly as is hinted at in episode 8. When they mention folks "busting out" of the hospital, those soldiers were in the same country as Easy company. Webster was evacuated to England while Easy was in France, then Belgium. There was no easy way for him to leave the hospital and catch up with the company. It should also be mentioned that after joining the airborne Webster vowed to never volunteer for anything else. As an aside, Webster was a literature major at Harvard and was the soldier who was so disappointed in himself for saying "They got me" in episode 5 "Crossroads".

I feel like the two deaths in this episode felt different because they both basically died for no reason at all. The first man died scavenging for food in a relatively safe and fortified place. It was the war equivalent of dying in a car crash on the way home from the grocery store. Bad luck in a place where that's about the only kind of luck around. The second was an accident while being sent on what was easily a suicide mission that was obviously almost entirely pointless to begin with. There was no purpose, there was no consequence of success or failure other than the deaths it caused. It was just a waste. High command types gunning for promotions as things were winding down was the only reason the patrol was even sent out. There is a parallel in the fact that neither of those men were actually serving any greater purpose or accomplishing any specific goal by being there that day in the first place. They were there because nobody got around to deciding there was no reason for them to be there a day earlier.
