'Generation Kill' offers insider look at the Iraq war

How do you forget to watch something but remembered to record it?

I set up a schedule to record the whole series about a week ago

I finally watched the first episode on demand and was very impressed. I think the show really captures the way these different personalities came together as a unit. The one thing that the book has, and I'm hoping the show goes into this more in later episodes, is the detailed back stories of the various characters. That's what I remembered the most from the book: the way characters from all walks of life were able to unite and thrive as a military unit and a fraternity.

they, uh, really make those officers (the two captains) look like real A-holes...

it's much more accurate than over there. first episode was pretty good.

The Godfather looks and sounds like a badass.

"what happened to your voice?"

"throat cancer"

"you smoke?"

"no, just lucky i guess"

I recorded it too and will watch it later tonight. I heard it's some good stuff. With some directors from The Wire involved it's sure to be good. Any fans of The Wire out there?

I believe the same Wire directors are also involved in a post New Orleans Katrina series on HBO coming soon.

So, I had seen it about 3 times before the final season. I then proceeded to get hooked on the final 5 or so episodes of season 5. Since it ended I have bought the first 4 seasons and I'm a little bit into the 4th season. It is hands down my favorite show of all time. I'm going to buy season 5 the day it comes out (I should be done with the other 4) and watch the hell outta that too. I honestly don't know what I'll do when I finish them (maybe start over)

BTW, I just read about Felicia "Snoop" Pearson today...she wrote a book I'm going to have to buy. Suffice it to say, she used to basically be her character.

i didn't like the wire at all. watched maybe 4 eps, no interest.

I'm sorry but I will never speak to you again :)

the first eps of generation kill did'nt really impress me that much.i hope it gets better.
