I know what you mean.
Still, make it a priority to watch Band of Brothers sometime. In all honesty, its better that you watched the Pacific first, that way you were able to enjoy it for what it was without comparing it to Band of Brothers which is FAR better. I think most people went into The Pacific with the expectation that it was going to be just like BoB, but the bar had already been set so high that it was going to be almost impossible for any show, even a great one to live up to those expectations.
