I think it's impossible to not compare the two - but also incredibly unfair to do so.
The fact that BOB set the standard for a WW2 story really set up the Pacific to do nothing but fail on expectations.
I'm really enjoying it - but like BOB I'm always left moved by the veteren interviews before the episode. It's pretty sobering listening to these men recount experiences which occurred 60 years ago and still be fighting back the tears. I know people who have lost children who aren't as scarred.
