That scene really bugs me. Proper character assassination of Dyke.

100% agree.
Also… that battle.was something like 6 hours of intense fighting.
Hence why it made the list to be shown at all.
Dyke froze up… yes…
But who else did when under sniper fire for 6 hours.
Band of brothers is excellent.
But there are a couple of moments where i think…
Really…
… really…
Was that chracter snipe necessary.
An interesting read…

It’s the problem with journalists who pretend to be historians, they put too much emphasis on personal recollections 70 years later and don’t spend enough time in the archive. Ambrose was bad for it, so is Max Hastings.

Just finished series 2 of SCREW on channel 4.
Excellent drama with excellent acting although with a bit of actor allusion.
Jamie Lee O’Donnell plays a character that could be a grown up version of her character in Derry Girls
Steven Wright’s character is almost exactly how you would imagine his character in Bluestone42 (Simon) to be after leaving the army & joining the prison service.
Excellent drama all round & well worth a watch.

Yes, I know, but I use it to solely show the importance of making decisions.
There’s also a scene in We Were Soldiers that I use, the helicopter landing sequence while training.

For me it was Albert Blythe.
Post credit cards said he died of wounds after Normandy, however he ended up being promoted to a senior sergeant level and saw action in Korea.
Im really enjoying the youtube skits by Charlie Hopkinson where he deepfakes himself as Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and Anakin reviewing the films/episodes.

Lockheed Martin had so much free advertising from Top Gun Maverick.
Lower Decks season 4.
Watching the tributes to Sir Michael Gambon on the news. Lots of talk of Dumbledore as being his defining role; but for me, he will forever be remembered as Eddie Temple; and his “facts of life” speech in Layer Cake.

2 pieces of his came into my mind when I heard the news. First was indeed “Welcome to the layer cake, son.” and the other was his lap around the Top Gear track.

So legendary they named part of the track after him.
Finally caught up with the first 3 episodes of Gen V (a spin-off from The Boys).
Safe to say it earnt its 18+ rating in the very first scene and got darker from there!

Which season are you watching?
Watching Soldier on BBC.
Commenter has the most monotone voice & the amount of cadetisms is unbelievable.
Good to see basic fieldcraft demo but it’s a bit eye rolling.
Not as bad the Top Gun documentary
