I knew it was gonna be a tragic bloodbath with his unit at the end, but I honestly did not see Basilone himself getting gunned down, that was surprising. I thought they were building him up to be the next Winters, and to take the torch from Sledgehammer(who took it from Leckey) to be the new main character down the stretch. Guess not.

After a bit of a stumble early on, I feel this series has really picked up, especially since episode 5, I can't wait to see what happens in these last two episodes. My only real complaint is they need to be longer. With the extremely long intro and lengthy "last week on The Pacific" clips, the episodes themselves are only about 40min long, that's ridiculously short for such an epic series. I can't remember anymore, but wasn't the average BoB episode about an hour?(if not even slightly longer)

Curahee, the opener, was 1.5 hours I believe, and then each remaining episode was 1 hour.
