So many particulars. So many questions.
I believed we proved you were wrong on that anyway.
I've still got my pet theory *strokes theory*

I've watched 4 of these and am loving it - there's a jargon section on the HBO page if anyone's confused.
Loving James Ransome, whose character is as much of an annoying bullshit merchant as Ziggy, but is charming with it.
Some great characters there, like Captain America, Encino Man and Iceman.
Can't believe Iceman is a Swede - Stellan Skarsgaard's son
Plus the usual HBO incest: Beecher from Oz as the writer and Dozerman from The Wire as Major Eckloff

Another thing I noticed were the Simonisms - the odd little rant here and there about the fucked up state of things

Wondered why the title of the series sounded so familiar.
Just realised that the book is sat in my 'to read' pile.
Hmmm... do I read the book? Or try to find a d/l? It's not on telly over here yet.
Has anyone read the book *and* watched the mini series, what do you reckon?
NB: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't see why not. Although you obviously won't be watching HDTV quality.

Probably best to use the spoiler code to hide it.

Fucking bollocks
Completely forgot this was on last night
Which is why you should steal it from the internet and then watch it over and over, rocking back and forth and muttering 'general thinks we're slaying dragons' in a hoarse whisper.
Me and Geoff are loving this show and I have a massive thing for articulate macho cases so I'm a happy bunny.
it is FUNNY as fuck.
One thing though - it's much narrower in terms of characters they have to play with since it's all male, all military types so I'm not sure how far they can go with it and hold interest. Oz had the same problem too - it got really fucking silly towards the end. Although Oz wasn't so farcical and took itself too seriously most of the time so perhaps GK has a bit more in it....
I'm not sure though. Maybe there's no plan for more than 10/12 episodes. Actually, if it's depicting the first 40 days of the invasion then it's probably impossible.

It's all based around the reporters book (and I think dotty linked to the Rolling Stone article ealier in this thread), so no there are no more eps when it finishes; no Wire-esque long plotlines, just 99% fuck all, 1% serious fighting...
Ah boo. I've only got three to go then
I'm in love with the iceman. Although seeing him having craps constantly is messing me up a bit.

It's ace. I've got the last one to watch tonight.
The bloke that plays Ziggy in The Wire has some great one-liners. 'Religion is gay' made me laugh a lot.
Ordered the book, too. I've always been a fan of that Rolling Stone counter-culture writer gets dumped in warzone thing; 'Despatches' etc.
