Over There

[highteknology]

i watched the first 2 episode of this show last night. my friend tivo'd them and put them on a tape. an extremely good show in my opinion. i like how it shows more of how war is effecting people that are actually fighting in it, both in the military and at home, rather than showing the political issues based around it. i especially liked when the Iraqi insurgent got blown in half and his legs were still moving.

from reviews i've read also, the place where they filmed it supposedly is as close to Iraq as one can come with out actually venturing over there.

congrats to FX for airing another great series. right up there with Rescue Me and Nip/Tuck.

I just heard about this on the radio for the first time today... sounds good...

Awesome show, but it really hits me hard to watch it. I mean think about some of the parents of soldiers over there and what not who have watched it, and this almost brings tears to me and I'm 18, and about to enlist. Did a great show, and the didn't put any bullshit in it in my opinion.

yeah, i think the reason this show is so good is because it doesn't really include any of the political aspects of the war. people in this country get those aspects all the time. but do to classified information and other rules of that stuff, people don't really get the whole picture of our soldiers actually doing the fighting.

watched 1/2 of an episode and really think it's disgusting what FX is doing. I mean you really think they give an accurate portrayal of what is really going on "over there?" I also think that is even more disgusting that another company has found a way to profit off of American's and other "coalition forces" being killed. What they've done is turn a political issue into a dramactic play. Comeon, soldiers and civilians are dying every fucking day, and what do people do? Go home, turn on the TV and watch a ficticious show thinking that it gives them some sort of an idea of what is really going on. Seriously makes me want to throw up. But props to Fox for figuring out how to make even more money off of other people's suffering. Peace-

A couple people I know have actually been "over there" say it's pretty damned realistic

As far as making a "profit off of American's and other "coalition forces" being killed" did you have the same problem with "Saving Private Ryan" or any other war movie???

I like nothing and agree with no one except on one thing, darkness is great. lol. nah man i've spoken with ton's of vet's and cooked/served food to 10th mountian devision for 2 days. I "support" our troops(to sound about as cleche as possible) but 90% of these dudes signed up to go to fucking college not fight some half assed attempt to democracize the world. I think its really fucked up that they've made a mini series about the war. I don't care what anyone says about "its not about money, its about giving the people a different perseptive", bullshit. You know how high the ratings are for this show? That in turn makes the sponsers pay rediculous amounts of money to place some ad about viagra knowing that many people will see it so the network is making lots of money off of the show because it is about the war! Not "A" war that allready happened, "THE" war that is going on right now. Sorry to get so political on your asses but last time i checked iraq's and saddam weren't invading other countries and killing millions of people unlike the NAZIS. And also, many "war" movies are about over zellious directors trying to make a point i.e. Stanley Kubrick w/ Full Metal Jacket. I'm just glad all of you get some sort of entertainment out of snugling up on the couch with a bowl of popcorn wondering if PVT. jackson or whoever is going to walk again or whatnot. Seriously, find something that stimulates your mind instead of what makes you fell better about what is going on in this country so you don't need to think about it. Oh, FYI FX is FOX dumbshit. Peace-
