Almost SideShow: Band of Brothers Episode 10 - Points

 On the season finale of our first Almost Sideways SideShow, Terry and Adam dive into the final episode of Band of Brothers.  What do you get when you have a bunch of soldiers with no one to fight, too much time on their hands, and an excess of alcohol?  We discuss the lives each member of Easy Company lived after the war and the moving tribute to these men that this show was.  We finish this episode by giving our rankings of the 10 episodes of Band of Brothers from worst to first.
