Spoiler Alert: For all the fanfare describing Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's adherence to accuracy and eye for detail in their series "The Pacific", the most expensive series to ever grace HBO, we were disappointed last night to see the unnecessary and completely false over-dramatization of the death of Sgt. John Basilone. Basilone, as befitting a Medal of Honor recipient, had highly detailed records of his exploits on Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima and we don't understand how Spielberg wasn't able to accurately, yet tastefully, depict the death of the war hero. Yet another black mark on a series that hasn't told us anything new, anything more accurate, or anything more personal about the experiences in the Pacific theater of World War II. At best, it's overpriced History Channel content with more gore. "Band of Brothers" it ain't.
