Band of Brothers Episode 2 REACTION!! (full watch-a-long)

Robert Durant

If he is still alive tell him thank you from all of us.

Jenkin Male

Flak is like a fragmentation grenade going off.

E

Really an incredible reaction. Thank you both, very much.

Ryan Roff

I’m so happy you’re reacting to this.

Jarrod Wild

My grandmother's last husband was at Utah Beach and he was forever thankful to the 101st for their efforts getting rid of those guns behind enemy lines.

Sean Clonch

May not have been that bad of a leader in a non combat role. He apparently excelled as the supply officer.

Jarrod Wild

I never thought of him as a bad soldier, just a bad leader. Some people just can't cut it in leadership roles in combat.

Sean Clonch

Another history side note. In the part where they come across the dead paratrooper hanging in the tree, you hear something that sounds like a train passing over. That was probably an 8in naval cannon shell off of a cruiser. It was about this time that the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan would have been happening.

Sean Clonch

Outstanding work once again. It was said at the beginning Sobel was sent to train civilians. He was in fact sent to train non combat specialty soldiers such as M.P.s, cooks, surgeons, chaplains, and supply clerks. Keep in mind for every combat soldier there are numerous soldiers behind the lines supporting his mission. After the training was complete, Sobel was transfered back to the 506th regimental HQ and jumped into Normandy. Somehow, the dude ended up with a Bronze Star. So, was he really that bad of a soldier?

Thanks, I'll delete

Anthony Fontana

I know, these ones in particular are tough. I love them though,, they add so much to the whole experience.

Hey just a heads up, N&S have said in the past that these kind of comments are spoilers for them. I know you weren't meaning to so I just wanted to let you know :)

Devin Minar

So my dad's father was on Normandy Beach that morning. With an US army engineer battalion. And I said before and I'll say it again this is by far my favorite series of all time and it always gets to me emotionally.

Nancy Peterson

Plus one at the end too. It’s not a huge deal - and I’ll explain later. Still doesn’t take away from my love for this series.

Joe

Man the interviews at the beginning of this episode are always tough to watch. :(

Thomas Hamilton

Don't know how many times I've watched Band of Brothers but I'll enjoy watching it again with you guys. Just a heads up and this is in no way a spoiler. One of the historical statements at the end of Episode 3 is incorrect. But I'll let you Google that after you've watched it. Hammy

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

It's historically accurate, and considering it's 20 years old, the film making quality holds up pretty well. But really this show is about the people you meet and their story, it's got it's sad moments but there are some really good ones too, I promise!
