Anyone catch the first episode? Don't want to spoil it for anyone by posting my thoughts on it here yet.

Lots of contrast between The Pacific and BoB. The guys in The Pacific are a whole lot dirtier, that's for sure.

I like BoB more at the moment, simply for the fact that they're a lot more polished and organized; there's a clear chain of command.

The Pacific introduced a lot in the first episode, something like 5-8 protagonists. Too many too quickly, IMO.

Something that's bothering me is the Stifler-looking guy. I couldn't take him seriously. Sure, he may resemble someone IRL from that time, but all I could think about every time he appeared on screen was "Stifler, Stifler, Stifler". It didn't help that he had a smile on his face 9 times out of 10.
