wait, what?

I think the matter of dramatic bullet over mortar shell is just the hollywood effect coming into play.

I agree it wrapped up nicely. But man, seeing the difference in how Leckie rejoined society, and how Sledge did was terrifying. The way Sledge just broke down and cried, and couldn't sleep and junk. man.

I wasn't really into Basilone either. And the difference between the Leckie story and Sledge's story is like watching two different shows. But overall, it was really good, imo.

as far as material, both Sledge and Leckie wrote books on their experiences, and those books are what this is mainly based off of. After I finished the last episode, I went out and bought both books xD (A Helmet for my Pillow, and With the Old Breed)

I dunno how I'd compare it to BOB. I mean, I love Band of Brothers. But even if I found it to be better, I wouldn't let that discredit this series. I think both are are good shows.
