    Band of Brothers is a 2001 ten-part television World War II miniseries based on the book of the same title written by historian and biographer Stephen Ambrose. It was executive produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks after their collaboration on the World War II film Saving Private Ryan (1998).[1] The episodes first aired in 2001 on HBO and are still run frequently on various TV networks around the world.[2][3]

    The narrative centers on the experiences of E Company (“Easy Company”) of the 2nd Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment assigned to the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army. The series covers Easy’s basic training at Toccoa, Georgia, the American airborne landings in Normandy, Operation Market Garden, the Battle of Bastogne and on to the end of the war.[1]

    The events portrayed are based on Ambrose’s research and recorded interviews with Easy Company veterans. A large amount of literary license was taken with the episodes, and other reference books will highlight the differences between recorded history and the film version.[4] All of the characters portrayed are based on actual members of Easy Company; some of them can be seen in prerecorded interviews as a prelude to each episode (their identities, however, are not revealed until the close of the finale). Spielberg is producing a sequel miniseries called The Pacific that will premiere in March 2010.[5]

    The title for the book and the series comes from a famous St. Crispin’s Day Speech delivered by the character of Henry V of England before the Battle of Agincourt in William Shakespeare’s Henry V; Act IV, Scene 3. A passage from the speech is quoted on the first page of the book, and is also quoted by Carwood Lipton in the final episode.

    It was a good show.

        Either you have the most complex rating system ever or you enjoy typing in random numbers.

        • paws4thot says:

          Close; it’s the Reverse Ordinal Post Rule, as postulated by Meuwth, and confirmed experimentally by Meuwth and myself over on Engrish, where posting a random piece of trivia generates a random number as a reply.

          • 123 says:

            So sick of freaking ordinal post b.s, you’re just being as stupid as random trivial posters or people that type first when you do that!

            • Default User says:

              On the contrary, ordinal posts are actually informative and often quite interesting. Firsters are just annoying and can’t think of anything intelligent to say.

              • 123 says:

                How is a series of numbers following info about BoB funny, yet u all go crazy when someone posts 1st =S P.S broccoli sucks!

                • Default User says:

                  It’s a shrubbery. Also, the word you are looking for is spelled you, not u. It won’t kill you to take the full 2 seconds to type out those other two letters and it will make you look like less of an idiot.

                  Apparently you missed it where Pitty explained the in-joke relating to the numbers. Either that or you missed it when they were handing out senses of humor.

                • Wino the Pastafarian says:

                  Until you come up with something better, stfu.

                • Nucky the Official Booty Wench says:

                  Hey, back fu(k off my DU!! Your name alone deserves an ordinal post. Every comment site has it’s unofficial rules, you don’t like ours, piss off.

                • Kn0wledge1ne says:

                  @12Pee

                  I copied and pasted from Wikipedia. Plus I’m at work so I had to hurry. Are you upset over the numbers or the fact that I posted an ordinal which actually had something to do with the LOL?

                  P.S: Numbers suck

                • Andy who was once disembodied but is now a zombie says:

                  *nom nom nom*
                  *burp*
                  Ew, it has after-taste :(

                • Now go away or we shall taunt you a second time.

                  PS: broccoli is awesome. So STFU. AND like DU said it’s a shrubbery. And did I mention STFU?

            • paws4thot says:

              It’s a metajoke, and/or an in-joke. If you can’t cope with those, boy are you ever on the wrong websites!

              • Default User says:

                In-jokes? We don’t have in-jokes! What kind of Belgian murdering nazi IDF socialists do you think we are?

                • paws4thot says:

                  We’re not Belgians; we’re Germans lying on our sides!

                  • Nucky the Official Booty Wench says:

                    I prefer socialists lying on their backs…NAKED :twisted:

                    • I Like Peanut Butter says:

                      Be careful socialists carry diseases…… ;-)

                      • Wino the Pastafarian says:

                        Only the fun ones though – nothing permanent.

                        • Nucky the Official Booty Wench says:

                          Exactly what I was thinking. :D

                        • HelOnWheels the Gene Pool Lifeguard says:

                          Too true. Whereas capitalism causes rectal leakage and permanent muscle pain and has been shown to lead to seizures.

                          Now, who wants some socialist kissing disease??!!

                        • Default User says:

                          I think I may have some mono to share!

                        • Andy who was once disembodied but is now a zombie says:

                          I think I got mad cow from a troll brain a while back.

                        • HelOnWheels the Gene Pool Lifeguard says:

                          @Andy – I’m surprised you haven’t gotten Toxoplasmosis yet. However, I understand that zombies are immune to infection since they’re…well…dead.

                          BTW, is that your ear on the floor there?

                        • Andy who was once disembodied but is now a zombie says:

                          Zombies are immune to most infections, ‘cept mad cow – I’m pretty sure I have the mad cow.
                          *tastes ear*
                          Not mine, but thanks.
                          *pulls out a bit of brain and makes a pate*
                          Anyone have some crackers, or toast points? I’ve got enough mad cow to go around. Goes well paired with some of that zombie wine wino has.

                        • I Like Peanut Butter says:

                          Scuse me HOW, but as we established earlier Capitalism is the anti-bacterial soap that washes the “stink” of socialism off…. HELLO!!!

    sweet band of brother is on

  4. Pootah says:

    Band of Brothers was pretty sweet, tbf. I’m waiting for the new series to come out.

    • Teleprompter says:

      Yeah, it was amazing. I hope that this type of film making (documentary/ epic reenactment) becomes more popular. I’d love to see one made about Vietnam, or the war in the Pacific. Yes, I know that several films have already been made about those, but I’d like to see a longer series that does the journey justice like BoB did.
