One of my favorite scenes is when Sledge is calling in artillery
I actually looked up the military terminology that he was saying 😂 “add 50 and try again!”
But the cool part is when he says, “mark it Concentration Baker for this sector”
“Concentration Baker” means that if he tells them to fire on Concentration Baker then they will fire on that spot!
Pretty cool 😂
I just read something very interesting. As it shows in the tv series, Sid Phillips had his Australian girlfriend, Shirley Osborne. Sid comes home and marries Mary Houston
But get this: 10 years after the war, Shirley came to visit Mobile, and her son met Sid’s daughter and ended up getting married
So his ex-girlfriend became his daughter’s Mother-in-law 😂
I saw this pics of Sledge and Sid Phillips in the Ken Burns documentary The War. It also features Sid Phillips’s sister Katherine. It was really good!
One of the cool moments of the BoB Legacy episode is when the actor that played George Luz said that he spoke to Bill Guarnere
Apparently, Ol Gonnorhea said, “Are you funny, kid?” 😂😂
You gotta be a comedian to play Luz 😂
What I mean by “little moment” is maybe an interaction between the characters or attention to detail etc
One of my favorites is from Episode 6 after Smokey Gordon is shot, and Doc Roe and Moe Alley drag him away.
Moe says to Doc, “You got it?”
Doc says, “Yea I got him! Go!”
Moe helped as much as he could but he had to get on the machine gun, and Doc knew that
Or when Perconte talks about the, “Army noodles with ketchup” 😂
One of the moments that always seemed weird to me was when Lt. Welsh and McGrath ran out into the open then had to load the bazooka.
Shouldn’t they have done that before they ran out?
I understand that it’s a cool shot (from a filmmaking pov), and I also understand that they could’ve loaded the second bazooka round in the open (because you don’t wanna miss your chance for a good shot on the tank).
But the first bazooka round… why make yourself a target to be shot while loading it?
This is the house where Shifty famously killed the German sniper (at the house in the background). I wonder what it measures out to- maybe 50 yards?
As many of you know, the Jackson 5 performed and toured around for a good 4 years before they ever signed with Motown. Joe Jackson had them performing anywhere and everywhere.
Did you see them before they were famous?
Man… once again, I just saw the fight between Eli and Knox. It’s just an amazing display of the rage that only a Father can feel for his children.
You almost feel bad for Knox 😆 because jeez you can’t keep threatening a man’s family
Hell, it almost looked real!
Rewatching the show again, and Gillian is out on a date with Capt. Nixon from Band of Brothers 😂 and their company mentions that they’re from Evansville IN.
Gillian cringes and says she’s never heard of it
But that’s where that kid Roger was from! 😂 I won’t spoil if people haven’t seen it yet.
Never noticed that before
This part was always funny to me. Lorraine was trying to hit some fleeing Germans, but he kept missing
Guarnere goes, “Jesus Christ!” 😂
One of the good jokes in ER is when (I’ve only seen it from Benton and Carter) is when they ask a patient what they had for breakfast, and they say:
“Eggs, bacon & sausage etc..”
Carter says, “Oh, the American Heart Association breakfast”. 😂😂
Sorry to say that I love a breakfast like that, but you definitely can’t eat that all the time
Do you guys remember this show? It was NBC’s successor for ER- it began in the same time slot after ER ended after 15 seasons. It was about a group of paramedics in San Francisco. It tried to capture that ER magic but it only lasted one season. It wasn’t such a bad show- it was very action-packed- but come on now… you can’t try to make another ER
I understand that Bruce Willis isn’t acting anymore but when they made later Die Hard films, I wish they would’ve added an Easter egg for Ellis
My idea would’ve been that John McClane meets a character that’s an arrogant jerk, then there’s a big reveal like:
“I know you. My Dad was in Nakatomi”, he says.
“What was your Dad’s name?”
“…Ellis”.
Sorry, I always think up weird stuff like this 😂
One of my favorite episodes is when Frank sees the kid from his job, Sammy. Everyone thought he was so nice, but turns out Frank was just as mean to Sammy as he was to Ray and Robert 😆
I just love the historical context of the show, specifically when Chalky is attacked by the KKK at his warehouse. They shot up the warehouse and killed a few of his men. He kills 1 of them, but Nucky and Eli is acting like he did something wrong!
“You can’t just shoot a white man”, Nucky said.
But that’s how it was back in those days. Chalky was wrong for defending himself. Nothing else mattered.
This show had an amazing way of illustrating history
I’m going through another rewatch- I usually watch every few years, and I gotta say that I’ve never liked Simon. I think it’s a nice touch that he’s Dr. Anspaugh’s nephew, but the whole foreign playboy thing was just kinda lame. He and Neela were weird together 😂 just didn’t feel him at all
The whole thing was just kinda flat
AIS ass in “Ass in Seat” 😂 she takes forever to get ready for the smallest thing. We damn near missed 30 mins of a movie last week
Should I do what Ray did and leave at her home?
Or am I tempting fate 😂
I don’t know if you guys remember, but “Sunshine” from Remember The Titans played the role of a male nurse in season 13. He and Sam had a little vibe going on then he just disappeared out of nowhere
I must say that I enjoyed Armand Asante on ER
When Sam was scared that she’d go to jail for Steve, he said, “For what, a scumbag? He’s better off dead”. 😂😂
