True. Hero is a word/title/honour that we massively overuse. Your footballer line shows how silly we are to consider footballers who earn thousands a week heroes when the real heroes are people like Winters and his men who fought, and died, for their countries for very little money compared to the likes of Rooney, Gerrard and Terry.

I have it on Blu-ray and whilst it is good for TV, it is shamefully poor in comparison to Band Of Brothers. Some episodes made me think that there wasn't much point in making Pacific if it was this bad compared to BoB.

The Pacific is a reasonably good series- it is fairly entertaining and worth a watch - but it is incredibly overshadowed by BoB and holds only a fraction of the emotion and replayability.

I would challenge any series to rival BoB though - I consider it to be one of the finest productions to ever be seen on television.

Got band of brothers on blue ray and it's amazing more like a very long film than a series, also started watching Pacific and that's equally great can't wait for the next disc from lovefilm.

I often watch band of Brothers from first episode to the last one, and it is just an amazing story.
