Pain Can Be Controlled - You Just Disconnect It

by Rainier on April 6, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

It was a little bit of a quiet day yesterday, with Europe mainly still in Easter holiday mode, but that should be changing again today, as of right ... now!

We've been making good headway on catching up on DVR stuff, as we watched Flashforward, 24 and Human Target. Yesterday we also checked out the latest ep. of The Pacific, and while it is not bad by a long shot, it is not nearly as good as Band of Brothers. It seems to be lacking the intensity as well as the character depth as BoB. So far, there seems to be no chemistry between any of the characters like Maj. Richard D. Winters and Capt. Lewis Nixon, for starters. We're not even halfway through the series, so hopefully the pacing picks up.
