>It's a Doc Roe episode
>>67799525
>>67799525
Was it implied he was addicted to the morphine? There is an episode where he is the focus and he just runs from group to group asking them if they have spare morphine.
>>67799557
He was asking because he was all out. That's why
>>67799605
Yeah but that is the entire focus of one episode. Him just asking everyone for morphine and we dont see him do anything with it.
>>67799525
Eugene is a baller
it was sad when the qt french nurse ded
>>67799642
They are fucking surrounded. He is out of supplies and asks people for supplies from their personal first aid kits.
>>67799642
it was during the battle of the bulge, fucking google it m8 and figure out why hes asking for supplies
>>67799682
Usually when something like that is so focused on they are trying to tell you something.
I accept that maybe it was
>I really want to emphasis how fucked up everyone is getting in the fighting because the doctor is fixated on pain killers
but that seems dumb.
>it's a Winters and Speirs have to fix the fuck up episode
>>67799733
He was cut off from his fix?
>its the britbong ignores murican soldier to fire on a german tank in cover and gets blown up episode
Really WHO GIVES a FUCK if you do collateral damage to houses ITS A WORLD FUCKING WAR and almost every single nation involved has been bombed to shit what the fukc is a couple more destroyed houses going to do?
>>67799672
she was Belgian bro
also while she existed there's no account of Doc actually meeting her; one of the biggest flaws of BoB is how it insists on cliches like their relationship as depicted in this ep
Doc actually barely gets mentioned in Ambrose's book, he wasn't as Cajun as depicted, and and the scene where he bawls out Winters never happened
>>67799525
God this was literally the GOAT episode of a GOAT series. Maybe only Crossroads comes close.

The whole series is about the horrors of war and the bravery and camaraderie of these men.
Why the fuck would they suddenly have a really subtle plot of an entire episode be about a morphine addict?
Literally just off yourself, retard.
Want a cigarette, /tv/?
>>67799903
What is that? They are making a television show for ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES?!
Gee whiz! Considering that fact I hope they DON'T TAKE CREATIVE LICESNSE WITH THE HISTORICAL EVENTS AND PORTRAY THEM SHOT FOR SHOT WITH WHAT REALLY HAPPENED, IGNORING THE FACT THAT ANY BOOKS WRITTEN BY THE SOLDIERS OF THE TIME ARE ALSO PROBABLY BIASED AND EXAGGERATED ALSO.
>>67799737
>Usually when something like that is so focused on they are trying to tell you something.
They are focusing on 101st running out of fucking everything.
>but that seems dumb.
He is fucking infantry medic, not a fucking doctor. He usually doesn't really fix people, just stabilize 'em for evacuation. Bandages and pain relief covers most of the shit he is supposed to do.
>>67800124
Do you think no soldier has ever abused morphine? I thought there was an epidemic of it Vietnam. Turning to drugs would be a very human reaction to the "horrors of war."
You should off yourself for being such a shallow and thoughtless with no appreciation for anything that isnt spelled out for you.
>>67800170
Ever heard of Walloons?
>>67800207
Of course I don't think no soldier has ever abused morphine.
What I don't think is that Spielsandleberger would dedicate a whole episode in his magnum opus to portraying a war hero as a heroin addict.
Started it for the first time last week. Finished it a few days ago. 10/10 series, about to start it again tonight.
I tried watching the Pacific but the characters are so weak.
>>67800207
>You should off yourself for being such a shallow and thoughtless with no appreciation for anything that isnt spelled out for you.
This has to be fucking bait. There is no way you seriously think there is some deeper meaning in an episode of BoB.
This is as bad as those retards that think Breaking Bad is full of imagery and foreshadowing.

>>67800241
He doesnt do that. He focuses on the medic seeking out morphine. You can have your own thoughts on why that might be. You are allowed to think and try not to let other peoples thoughts drive you into a rage like an autist.

Now that you've made it through Band of Brothers I HIGHLY suggest you give Pacific another shot. Though considerably lesser in quality, characters, writing etc (imho), it still holds up in terms of being a war-time epic. It really is worth your time.
>>67800250
The biggest problem with the Pacific was that there were too many characters and too little interaction between them. Every moment was either 20 minutes battle sequences or showing us the brutality of the Pacific front for the umpteenth time.
>>67799737
You're reading into something that isn't there,

No other war based mini series comes close to Band of Brothers
>>67800286
You're trying to force your own WRONG interpretation on an episode of a great teleivision show that A) doesn't need it and B) is very clear on what it is trying to depict.
I am being driven into a "rage like an autist" because I don't like you pseudo-intellectuals from reddit being brought over here by shit threads like /got/ and all the other EPIK MEMES because you then go on to create shit threads like this. These sorts of threads are dangerous because soon enough you'll have 10 other ones talking about everyone else's WRONG interpretations of episodes from other great shows. We don't fucking need this shit here.

Yes, if you had mentioned your "own little theory" and then left it at that, we wouldn't be flinging these insults at you.
But you doubled down when we pointed out why you're wrong and its a shit theory.
When did this trend of "I-ITS MUH THEORY SO ITS NOT WRONG OR RITE OKAY? DOONT FUCKN SAY ANYTHIN ABOUT IMT IT IS JUST A THEORY!" start?
This is literally tumblr and head-canon bullshit.

Pacific is way better show than BoB, mostly due to the fact that it's not a war epic. Instead it shows the reality of battlefield.
It also lacks historical inaccuracy of BoB.
>>67800410
Watch the episode again. Doc Roe ain't no degenerate.
It's my favorite episode too, stylish editing if I must say

>>67799741
that guy was worse than Sobel
Why do americans make movies about the battle of the bulge but refuse to depict the battle of the hurtgen forest on film, which was the longest and costliest military engagement in the history of the US armed forces? It even ended in a humiliating defeat for them
>>67802196
It was depicted in Band of Brothers.
>>67802196
Doesn't even seem like that bad of a loss
>>67802146
Not sure why you replied to that post, but if you're referring to Ron Livingston'so character, he was in intelligence, his rank more or less would have remained the same regardless of how much combat he saw. He wasn't there to lead platoons into battles and receive promotions for it
>>67802196
you answered your own question on multiple levels, retard
>>67802196
the battle of the bulge cost the US 90,000 casualties, literally 3 times that

was the story about Speirs true? was he a fucking psycho?

>good times
I was thinking more about dehumanization of enemy, becoming alienated from society, PSTD and the fact that if they didn't have that plus six months bullshit in China they would have had blowjobs when they returned, not as much as complimentary beer on dining car in train.
When it comes to realism and historical accuracy... Pacific is way better sourced than BoB. Stephen Ambrose is shit tier historian and BoB is full of shit. It's based on interviews made 50+ years after war, what slightly demented veterans remember decades after the fact is more accurate than actual war diaries of US, British and German units involved.
This review tells a lot about the book show was based on... comments on review are brilliant and worth reading. Guy who wrote the review is retired 'murrican Army intel officer.

Didn't happen in Normandy, but in Battle of Bulge after this thing.

>battle of the bulge
That sounds made up. Try harder.
The problem with the Pacific was when they gave the battle of Iwo Jima 10 fucking minutes compared to a 40 minute love story. Iwo fucking jima. Okinawa was 10/10 fucking unbelievable quality though.There's only about 6 episodes of the 10 worth watching a second time while all of BoB needs to be watched.

Neither of two main characters was there and closest thing to third main character died in first day of the battle. Also, production company had made two movies about that battle relatively recently.
>>67799525
>its a Buck took everything the krauts could throw at him time and again, but just couldn't stand seeing his friends torn up like that episode
>>67808362
Gonna rewatch both of them.
>>67807791
Okinawa was the worse battle anyway and Iwo Jima has been covered so extensively in American media it's almost ridiculous. So few people in the US know of the carnage at Okinawa whereas even millenials have a vague notion of Iwo Jima

Without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends on it.

>>67802567
yes. In fact they left out some of his other stories. During D-day another soldier refused to follow his orders during an assault, staling it, so he shot him in the face
>>67808543
god that feels good
Was Pierce actually there or just a story they told themselves to stay on course?
>>67808543
Throwing John Adams hat in the ring.
>>67808558
Wasn't that what they were referring to with the rumour about Spiers shooting a drunken private in the Blithe episode?
>>67808543
If it were a regular network show, they would have had a second season and it would have been horrible. The writers would dig up some forgettable battle that happened after surrender because it was too remote to hear about it and have everyone go there and stretch it the fuck out. And they they'd add stupid shit like an alien foofighter episode as they struggle to find more material.
>>67799557
if that is all you remember from that episode then shut the fuck up and watch it again and don't just throw stupid questions around like this is reddit...oh wait

1. It was a miniseries from the start.
2. It's full of cringe worthy historical inaccuracies.
I always thought it was obvious Roe is begging for a heroin fix throughout the ep
>>67809033
>It was a miniseries from the start.
I am aware of this, thank you though
>It's full of cringe worthy historical inaccuracies.
the atmosphere and tone is what sets this show apart. an no, I dont care if a certain grenade wasn't around back then or if their uniforms weren't correct, or if a certain battle actually happened in x place.
it captured what those men really fought for and how their brothership helped them through it. that's what matters.

General Patton had to go on a diet and lose his beer belly or the Army would discharge him for poor health. This is a famous event in American history, everyone knows about the Battle of the Bulge. You should really do your research, friend.

>implying there's such a thing as an innocent German
They all knew about the camps and didn't give a shit until Allied forces showed up and they had to act like they had no idea the undesirables weren't being cared for in a top notch summer camp.inb4 spineless oy vey memesters who'll betray the memory of the American G.I.s because "muh nazi dindu nuffin!"
>>67802567
He had like 7 marriages, which seems to support the notion that he was a psychoath
Germans are so holocuked, that in the dub of episode 10, when the German gives his speech, they add dialogue to the Jewish translator to make him extra spiteful, just so the audience knows how they're supposed to feel about the Wehrmacht.
When will we get an mini-series about Battle for Castle Itter, focusing on the Germans, The Americans and the Prisoners, culminating in a final battle?
