Thanks to everyone for voting in the poll! By popular(ish) demand, will be starting our Band of Brothers rewatch this coming Saturday, schedule below. There will be both a live rewatch on the HA discord server, and Dreamwidth posts for discussion.

Rewatches on the discord will run 1300-1530 UTC (time zone converter for the bewildered), or there about. Dreamwidth posts will go up some time on Saturday.

We're planning to simultaneously play episodes rather than broadcasting or streaming them. If you're in the U.S., you can find Band of Brothers on HBO MAX. If you're in Canada, you can find it streaming on Crave TV, and HBO Nordic has it for folks in Scandinavia (and possibly other European countries).

Currahee & Day of Days

Saturday, October 24th
Carentan & Replacements

Saturday, October 31st
Crossroads & Bastogne

Saturday, November 7th*

Please comment here or PM me if you have any questions.

*Though local clocks may move, UTC does not. Plan accordingly.

It's that time of year again! That time being the time that have decided it's been an intolerably long times since we've rewatched Band of Brothers (et al), and are looking to do it as a group. The format would be similar to last year, with two episodes a weekend for five weekends, but timeslots are not yet nailed down.

We were thinking to do Dreamwidth posts here for discussion, and a live rewatch on the HA discord, via simultaneous watching (rather than casting).

Given that, what days/times would work best for you.

The general idea would be that we'd do Band of Brothers these next few months, Generation Kill in the early new year, and The Pacific maybe in the vacinity of March.

Hey everyone! This is just a quick reminder that we in the U.S. have experienced that most heinous temporal misstep known as Daylight Savings Time and set our clocks back an hour.



This means that for those of you who aren't forced to observe Daylight Savings the Band of Brothers Rewatch will begin an hour earlier than it did the last two weekends!

As always, the Discord will open up a bit before and the comments sections will be here on the DW for your use and participation at any time, so don't worry if you pop in late.

Hope to see y'all there!

Sincerely,
Mod Tec

It's official, everyone! Heavy Artillery will be hosting a Band of Brothers rewatch for old fans, new fans, and anyone who might be interested!

Starting Saturday, October 26th, we'll be watching both episodes in order starting at 10 AM CDT*.

Since we have a handful of members across various continents, the current plan is to watch-along individually with discussion posts for each episode going live a half-hour before and a Discord chat open for participants at any time. While all are welcome to join in, you don't have to be available at the time of the watch-along to participate in the discussion posts or Discord chat. I encourage you to watch at your leisure with the assurance that fellow fans will be around to flail with you as your schedule allows.

If you're in the U.S., you can find Band of Brothers free to watch on Amazon Prime Video. If you're in Canada, you can find it streaming on Crave TV, and HBO Nordic has it for folks in Scandinavia (and possibly other European countries). At present there are no plans to livestream the episodes. If anyone has information about where to watch the show overseas, please let me know and I'll add it here.

*If you're not sure what time that is for you, you can check out the current time in CDT here and convert accordingly.
