2. Thanks for the heads-up!

I almost forgot.

3. not a civil war buff

I know some are really into that war or world war 2, but not my cup of tea.

[Drale]

4. Recording it to watch it tomorrow

It looks like its going to be really good, and Riddle Scott is involved so its got to be good.

6. They're refighting the battle?

Who's going to win this time?

[Morning Dew]

7. I'll re-watch it tomorrow. I liked it but two hours is too short for Gettysburg.

I liked that it took a different look at the battle. No big rehash of Lee/Longstreet and no revisiting Chamberlain on the Federal left. No Buford and Reynolds either, which was in line with this documentary but just a little disappointing.

8. Saw it. Pretty damn good.

9. I forgot all about it!

The kid grabbed the darn remote and turned on Disney Channel. Once that happens I tune the tv out and forget that I wanted to watch something too.

Wonder if it'll be up online soon?

12. Hard to tell my favorite part

Probably when the Rebs get massacred in their ridiculous assault on the Union center, though having them fail for Lee's little wording issues ("if practicable"), or because the Michigan cavalry chases off 20 times their number of Jeb Stuart's cavalry, or when the secesh get they asses chased back to Old Virginny all compete for my affection.

13. The best part of learning about wars are looking at the lead up and the aftermath.

I'm sure I'll see it eventually.
