I just thought of this, but Band of Brothers was written before the kind of writers rooms we have now were a thing. Basically there was the book, a bunch of interviews with the guys, and then the story was divided up into ten parts, divided out, and written more or less independently. So each episode took place in a more or less emotionally coherent arc overall, since they were pulling from the same novel, and could ask the vets questions, but also was its own story, and each had a slightly different flavour.
Given what both the Pacific and MotA are like, I wonder if we should go back to not letting the writers talk to each other. Because I know John Orloff's writing from BoB, and he can do better than this.
Yeah, J. Random Blonde who's known Cleven for like two weeks tops. SHE WAS THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE. WHAT IS HAPPENING!?
