Replying to The Pacific vs. Band of Brothers

Ok folks, the final episode of The Pacific debuts this Sunday, so weigh in here if you have been watching. Which series do you think is better/more well put together/more action packed and interesting. I have to say that Band of Brothers has blown the Pacific away so far. The story and plot are far more engrossing, and the character development in perfect. Every episode of B.O.B flows together perfectly without a hitch. My main problem with the Pacific is that it jumps around so much. The series follows guys like Leki and Sledge, but Leki hasn't been in like, the last two episodes and Sledge wasn't really a main role in the series until episode 3 or 4. The plot between episodes just seems disjointed, and Spielberg and Hanks are beating the "war of racism" angle to death in every episode. It isn't nuanced, it's blatantly obvious and it has a preachy undertone. Don't get me wrong, the series has been awesome thus far. The action is gritty and in your face, but a lot of it just seems too cinematic to me and really lacks the truth and feeling of Saving Private Ryan and B.O.B. Great series all the same though, even if it is filled with tired little soldierly cliches.
