It's one bullet point a week. Let it go.

Wisconsin got screwed geographically on just about every front. Illinois expanded north to include Chicago, Michigan got the Upper Peninsula even though it's clearly attached to Wisconsin, and some cartographers fucked up and followed the wrong river when determining the border with Minnesota.

I'm going to jump in here with a fun Band of Brothers bit of trivia. BoB had many "special ability extras" who trained at boot camp with the actors and learned how to jump, properly use equipment, take care of boots, etc. These guys never had any lines and were never in focus, but they were with the crew throughout…

Not if you're the bird.

Maudlin as it may risk being, I love the baseball scene and the accompanying monologue. After everything we've seen these men go through, the audience needs to know that they get to go on (for however long) and have normal lives and normal experiences. Plus, Lewis's delivery really sells it. He speaks with such…

Winters as a father figure is a great way to say it. That said, I understand how young all these men were at the time, but somehow it still blows my mind that Winters was 26/7.

I always felt really bad for those birds when I was a kid.

They still have boats?!

I don't want a show about Jesse, because I want to keep living with the fantasy that Jesse escaped and got to lead the kind of peaceful, drama-free life that Vince Gilligan wouldn't make a show out of.

The original NCIS is a spinoff though, too.

I suppose it depends on your definition of 'successful,' but NCIS has been one of the top 5 rated shows for like six years now.

Jesus hates you, this we know, for Jesus just told you so!

I haven't read Guarnere and Heffron's book, but Malarkey's is quite good and you're right, a good emotional companion to the series.

I literally just finished Malarkey's memoir today. He was in an army hospital for a few weeks with an illness, and once he was discharged it took him a few more weeks to find and rejoin Easy. He wasn't with them for VE day either.

Doc Roe got engaged to an English girl in Aldbourne. Their wedding date was set for June 6, 1944. He did eventually go back and marry her about a year and a half later.

I wish I could remember where I read this, but apparently his mother may have been Jewish and converted to Catholicism to marry his father.

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair

Neither can Will, anymore.

I need to turn off the part of my brain that gets bothered that the police and ambulances don't show up faster because goddamn, this show.

I wouldn't put it past Hannibal to put beautiful, easily broken glass all over his house just in case.
