And a marathon is over....

hihihi.... didn't think i could do it again... but now here i am... just finish watching Band of Brothers in less than 24 hours... 10 episodes... 6GB ++ of data... and about 10hrs viewing time... yes en. otai... aku telah berjaya mengulangi Band of Brothers marathon.. huhuhu... here is some part by part review... for those who know them.. be free to add anything in comment...

Part 1 Currahee
Sets in Taccoa 1942, a group of young mens volunteered to be the newest military regiment... the paratroopers... lead by Lt. Sobel(David Schwimmer, most of us remember him as Ross Geller in Friends series..).. a harsh leader that makes Easy Company the finest paratroopers in the division...

Part 2 Day of Days
Most of us know it as D Day... June 6 1944... when the paratroopers flew from England crossing the English Channel to Normandy... all of the drama starts here... n Lt. Winters rose as Easy Company leader.. coz their CO lost when they try top land... owhh... Lt. Sobel is not their leader that day... he wuz a good leader.. but not in battle field... kompem ramai yg mati kalau mamat ni lead.. they got their 1st win at Normandy in WWII... taking down German's fortified artillery position... letting the Allies bring the supplies n the whole battalion towards their goal to defeat Krauts...

Part 3 Carentan
Only 2 days after Normandy... Easy company leads the division to Carentan... several casualties... the success proves Easy company is the finest soldier available on the ground... soon they were in the frontlines most of the battles engaged..

Part 4 Replacements
fresh faces joined Easy Co. due to heavy casualties... just in time b4 they drop into Holland for operation Market Garden... there were a few issues...

Part 5 Crossroads
Winters lead a platoon(beberapa belas org..) into a risky mission in Dutch Dike... killed 2 companies of SS(+-300 soldiers).. got promoted to Battalion XO(Executive Officer)... n the stories continue in Bastogne...

Part 6 Bastogne
Bastogne, Belgium.... Easy Co. holding the line... cold winters.. massive German artillery..low on supplies n ration coz they were cornered by the Krauts... added by bad leadership... u got the worst christmas.. and the sweetest victory for Easy Co...

Part 7 The Breaking Point
opsss.... hehehe... silap laa td... diorang dapat maintan the line... pastu serang Foy... bandar dekat hutan tu... pastu baru laa menang.... tp teruk jugaklaa.. sbb ketua baru tu mmg hampeh... hehehe..

Part 8 The Last Patrol

Part 9 Why We Fight

Part 10 Points

cupp... malas dah nak tulis panjang2... lagipon mcm spoiler je utk org yg x pernah tgk... secara ringkasnye... lepas satu close counter dgn Nazi... dkt dgn sempadan jerman nih... akhirnya diorang masuk jerman... surprisingly.. agak aman.. sbb time tu askar2 jerman dah mula menyerah.. jumpa Death Camp yg amat menyedihkan.. masuk Eagle Nest... sakit jiwa lepas perang... dan akhirnye masing2 blk dan meneruskan kehidupan sendiri... kesimpulannye... ini satu siri yg amat best,.. (4 me laa)... action + history... highly recommended to watch... aku sendiri dah berapa kali agaknye layan Band of Brothers nih... dlm tu rasanye ni kali kedua takpon ketiga aku me marathon cite nih... hehehehe.. sape2 yg penah join PULAPOL ke ape lagi laa akan faham dgn citer nih.. kesimpulan pada kesimpulannye... sila lah tgk... amaran kerajaan malaysia...

NOT FOR THE FAINTED HEARTS!!!
