Pacific: March 14, 2010 on HBO

Iwo Jima Preview

I'm going to have to break down and get HBO...maybe I can be cheap (because lets face it...I am...although I prefer the term "frugal") and get the 3 months free plan. If this is anything like Band of Brothers, we are in for a really good series. If gives me chills just thinking about it.

Lost

The last season starts up this week, and so we are watching last year's finale tonight.  It's just too much to try to remember over the course of one year.  I don't know if I have the brain power to keep up with this.

Anyone Else Catching Crabs?

Well I am not either! But I think the Deadliest Catch is a really good show. I can watch these guys do the same thing show after show, but I never get tired of it. I think I rewatched episodes 45-60 last weekend back to back to back. The new season started Tuesday night. While I think a lot of this stuff is staged, I am impressed that they can get these guys doing what they want them to do in those harsh conditions. These guys work about 6 months of the year on the crab boats and make about $50,000. That is not a bad deal, but they are putting their lives on the line everytime they go out. I will note that I think the really dangerous job is being the camera man filming these episodes. Worth a watch if you are not watching!
