rosiedoesI just finished watching my Band of Brothers DVDs. As you may suspect, knowing me, I have spent the last section bawling.
I think by the end I was just totally in love with Nix and Malarkey. The latter lost all of his closest friends in the space of a few days - it must have been devastating. And Bull was so sweet!
The most amazing thing about this series - beside its historical sensitivity and attention to detail - is the fact that they actually tried to cast guys as near as possible to the real boys who fought in Carentan, Bastogne and all the way through to Austria.
This is a really cool site. There are photos of the boys who really were in Easy Company. Photos of the ones who survived, as old men. But if spoilers bother you, don't go there. Because you really need to see this.
