Can anyone give me a link to the review on band of brothers or any comments on it? I am thinking of buying it, but it is about $70 for the season...
FYI, you can also get it for $67.96 at deepdiscountdvd.comI think its $62 at Walmart? Pretty darn good deal!
I originally taped them off HBO, then converted them to CVD so I can watch them on my DVD player....
Its a wicked good series, though some chapters are slower then others. My personal favorite is chapter #2. I can watch that one over and over.
But, I've already watched my CVDs enough where I'm not sure if I want to spend the $62 so I can see the extras...

"anonymity of the characters"My quote about the anonymity of the characters was qualified by the "which fades as the series progesses" which followed. The best thing about this series was that the characters were not stereotypically "fleshed out" from the beginning like so many other war films (cough - Pearl Harbor - cough). The series allowed you to get to know them and let them develop, never allowing you to forget that these were real people. This technique of allowing you to grow to know them drove home the point they were real and made you feel for them, absent the melodramatic "you will care about this guy later cause he loves his girl at home so much" platitudes of other films.
