Mini Review #29: Band of Brothers 1x9 Why We Fight (Patreon)

What can I say about this episode. It was the best one. It has one of the most horrific and heart wrenching scenes in not just this show, but in TV itself. The first half of the episode was a very interesting set up with some lighthearted moments and I was wondering where this was going. People had been saying that this episode was a hitter and yet, even when the moment came, I was left speechless. The idea that "Why We Fight" isn't just for our loved ones and country, but for all the suffering and inhumanity was very well executed. This was seen through Nix especially, who was on the verge of giving up as he had lost everything back home but soon found that the reasons he was fighting were much bigger than he had ever thought.

My nose is too plugged and my eyes too watery to continue writing but yeah, great stuff.
