I'm waiting to see how the two miniseries compare in their story-telling. BOB started slowly (Curahee), exposing us to the main characters and what bonded them. It looks like The Pacific will be concentrating on only 3 main characters - one of whom hasn't even gone to boot camp yet. I don't expect them to be copies of each other, so I guess I'm anticipating how the differences will unfold. From what I remember of an HBO trailer, I think they're devoting 3 entire episodes to the battle for Peleliu.
It already looks like the "man's inhumanity to man" theme will be prominent (isn't all war inhumane?) The trailers all focus on how the U.S. and Japanese soldiers both viewed the others as inferior and subhuman.
I'm not going to make the same mistake I made with BOB - All episodes of The Pacific are going straight to DVD on Monday mornings.
