I was on the edge of my seat watching the night scene last night. Every time they were reloading the machine gun I was scared they were going to get overrun. The scene at the end with the Marines sitting in the mess hall on the battle ship was very powerful as well.
Personally I don't think its fair to compare this to Band of Brothers. I watched Band of Brothers when it first came out and haven't watched it since. It is an amazing show, but I don't think I have the emotional attachment to it like some of the posters on here who have watched it numerous times.
The only similarity between the two is the Americans are involved. They took place on the opposite side of the world against very different enemies in very different conditions.

BoB is the perfect comparison. It would be weird not to compare them to each other. BoB set the bar, and I was hoping Pacific would raise it. So far it hasn't, but I still think it will improve.
