OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Anyone heard anything about this one yet?  For those who haven't, it's the Hanks/Spielberg followup to Band of Brothers.

It is as awesome as you've heard.  Even though it is about the fucking Marines.

I agree with this.  I pretty much went into Episode 1 with the thought that there would be a shit ton of character intros and fleshing out of stories.  There was plenty of that, but it was still a pretty damn awesome start.

Watching this is making me want to buy Band of Brothers and Generation Kill.

I can't be certain, but I think they're showing this on the 101 network (for those of us with DirecTV).  I set the DVR for it last night, but was asleep before it went on.  So if you have DirecTV, check it out.

This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

Oh yeah.  It's on the 101 Network.  I think I just have to wait until the week after it airs on HBO.  It was some good shit.  The more slopes they kill, the better.

Wouldn't you know that this would turn into a sex epic as well?  Kind of an almost contemporary Spartacus.
