Trivia
The report that we see Captain Winters typing up in this episode was unique in that it never used the word "I". Winters wanted all the credit to go to the men of Easy Company, not himself.

Goofs
The English captain while narrating the events of operation Pegasus, is wearing the US 101st Airborne Division patch on his right shoulder. However, he swam across the river the night before, and it is unlikely he did it in full uniform. He was probably given clothing to wear by the 101st.

Quotes
Lt. George C. Rice: Panzer division's about to cut the road south. Looks like you guys're gonna be surrounded.
Richard D. Winters: We're paratroopers, Lieutenant. We're supposed to be surrounded.

Rewatch, 8.75/10

This was most likely the worst episode of the show, but it was still pretty good either way. My favorite character in this episode was Winters. My favorite things about this episode were the music, the action, and the ending. Although this should be a little lower rated, this is a good set up episode for the next half of this must-watch, amazing tv miniseries. When I say this is a must-watch, I mean it a whole lot. I can still remember the times when this was in the top 3 of tv shows ever on this app. I mean when Chernobyl was 5, Breaking Bad was 4, this was 3, planet earth was 2, and planet earth 2 was 1. I hope in the near future that this could become at number 3 again.
