Dude, the @hboww2rewatch is going to be soooo good.
The Pacific really just throws us into the war the same way it throws these men into it - we don't get H company at bootcamp, or how JP and Manny and John became friends. We're just - there. It's Guadalcanal, and it's awful, and mind-boggling to Leckie in its awfulness. You don't get to pick your wars, and here we are, in the middle of the Pacific, on islands your family can't find on a map, and there's no water and you've got jungle sores, and your mom is writing to ask if you want your dress blues.
One of the things I'm appreciating, watching in this order, is just how much this show anchors us in their families - our three main leads all start at home. (And how much I dislike Leckie's dad!!!!)
We also get a staggering sense of how much they don't know. "Professor Leckie, enlighten us." And Leckie gives a flippant answer, a line of poetry from Alexander Pope's translation of the Iliad - Without a sign his sword the brave man draws,
And asks no omen but his country's cause.
One wonders if he's thinking about those words and his country's cause as he shoots the soldier trying to cross the river. That man, too, had a cause and a country. What makes one better or worse? The poets didn't tell him it would be like this.
We also get a sense, so quickly, of how the war becomes who you're with, where you are, right now, to the exclusion of everything else. H Company watches the naval battle in the distance, and then learns, the next morning, that Admiral Turner and the Navy have all left. Their war has just become very, very small.
And by the end of the episode, where they're all reading letters from home, you (and Leckie) realize just how far away from home they really are. Dress blues. Birthdays. Incredible.

Dear hbowarfandom,
I'm on my knees once again begging you to stop
STOP
Stop
STOP
S T O P
interacting with posts with stolen edits, we are in 2024 and I feel like I don't need to throw a big ass rant about how wrong and disrespectful and nasty it is to our lovely creators, all their effort and how toxic it is to a fandom, specially a little one like ours BUT HERE I AM ONCE AGAIN TALKING ABOUT IT!!!!
Nowadays we have the GIF search engine that links to the original post so you can use that one nice edit you saw etc etc etc
As someone who spends HOURS creating edits to share with other people who love the silly little dumb character it's honestly infuriating and so so sad to see mutuals interacting with stolen edits, it honestly hurt my feelings and it's even discouraging and depressing to see it happening over and over again
I try to stay positive and see the best because hey it can be an honest mistake!!! Could be from someone new and not familiar with how things works on here so that's why I decided to say something to bring awareness to the issue, so please I kindly ask you to talk about it with your mutuals, your friends, your dashboard neighbors and even re-evaluate our behaviour as a tiny but lovely community
AND PLEASE STOP USING CHARACTERS TAGS THAT ARE NOT EVEN REMOTELY INVOLVED IN YOUR POST!!!!!
PLEASE USE THE READ MORE INSTEAD OF POSTING THE WHOLE FUCKING ENCYCLOPEDIA COLLECTION
STOP STEALING OTHER PEOPLES WORKS!!!!!!!!
ACTORS ARE NOT THEIR CHARACTERS!!!!!
BE FUCKING NICE TO EACH OTHER

Just watched the "I wish we were going together" scene in episode 1 of the Pacific and while that line murders me and throws me into a cave never to be found, let's all not forget to stare into the abyss about "oh, you don't have to worry about me".
Oh, you don't have to worry about me. The forced bravado of a seventeen-year-old boy who can't make the smile reach all the way to his eyes because when he enlisted he figured there was no way he was going anywhere without Eugene (he's never been anywhere without Eugene) and the closer he gets to leaving, the realer this all feels and the bigger that pit in his stomach gets.
And that 6AM train is coming real fast.

Taylor swift songs are never about her or her past experiences, they are all about this very specific assortment of paratroopers/marines/bomber crews that I have chosen to make my entire personality. Hope this helps🩵
