And to add to that, Strike Back season 2 is superb too, if you haven't watched it then do so, especially if you like kick ass, secret ops military action!

A really well made show!

Just watched the S2 premiere and fuck me but that was brilliant!

My guy and I just love this series, last season it seemed like the actor playing Damion has it in his contract that he gets 2 lays per episode - ha ha. And people were upset at the sex in Lost Girl.

There was 2 epi for the premier. I didn't realize that till yesterday so I hope you caught them both.

HBO ran them together so yes and it was awesome.

I have to give the brits credit, this was as good or better than any american actioner tv i've seen in ages. We won't discuss canadian actioners.

Great ending. I love how we're looking at a vengeful guilt ridden self-destructive Michael and a 'mature (almost) Damian' going into this season. You knew dead-soldier's brother was going to do something bad but after the tea scene (great shoutback to Damian showing up at Michael's place in S1) it seemed like it wasn't what we expected. Then they made up in the park and i knew.... i just knew....

Also, was it me, or did Rachel Dalton start the ep looking all mature and plain and then get progressively more attractive as she got dirtier and fired more guns? Fairly obvious she was going to join the team but putting her in charge was a bit trite. Works well enough tho. Sucks to be Sinclair.

They seemed to have upped the quota on attractive women firing guns this ep. It was odd for Richardson to be sent in as she was an hq person, not an operator, tho we saw her go badass last season when the hq was hit.

Old diplomat guy had a target on him a mile wide the second he picked up a gun.

I initially thought Damian had switched the triggers but it turned out to be Somali-hottie-w/gun.

The scene where the exchange was supposed to happen towards the end was awesome.

Michael and Damian's buddy-act is still the bestest part of this show. Those two actors work so well together.

Damian getting laid was a running joke throughout S1 and clearly they're continuing it in S2. "A whole hour?".... HA!

The running shorts were utterly gratuitous tho', even for this show.

Does Lost Girl ever show Bo s boobs on y'all providers? I have it on SyFy ch stateside and I don't think the sex is bad.

Damien getting some every epi from a diff woman is fantastic! Lmao.

Reading the forum on SyFY site for Lost Girl it appears that there has been some editing for you guys but no, I have seen all episodes season 1 and 2 and have yet to see her boobs per say, apparently the girl on girl stuff is bothering a few posters there. Glad we have the francophones to keep up fairly wordly when it comes to sex, anyone remember "Webdreams" out of Montreal on Showcase?

what you're calling season 2 is actually season 3.

First season was a british show, based on the Chris Ryan book.

Second season (called Strike Back Project Dawn here) was a co-production between yank and brit.

Third season is also a collaboration.

Oh Abyss I coulda sworn during S1 they said it was an American show?

It's a collaboration in the sence that Cinemax is providing some funding and the NorAm distribution through HBO. All the production comes from the UK.

We never got S1 in NorAm and it still isn't available on disk. S2 was marketed here as S1, S3 as S2.
And from what i know, they majorly retooled the show between S1 and S2 anyways so there was only the thinnest of connections.

i would still like to see it one of these days tho'.

...I feel bad for Sinclair man...that would be quite a blow to take in RL.

Yeah you could tell he was pissed.
Tho he never came across as a logical successor to Col Grant last season.

The way they brought Dalton was contrived and unrealistic, especially for a show that prides itself on a certain level of military accuracy, but hey, it's a brain/off kind of television.

Quote

Plus Stonebridges arc...you could see that part coming from earlier scenes obv but fuck me my pissed radar was soaring during that shit.

I admit i was expecting

Spoiler

some sort of 'if you love me Carrie you'll see i have to go back to serving Her Majesty by travelling to exotic foreign lands and killing people while Damian gets laid but i promise that when you get knocked up again i'll fake retire again' and then evil brother guy takes her hostage or something. Kudos to the show for going to more vicious route.

[Catherine]

My guy will be soooo relieved - we usually wait for the 2 episode arc to be "on demand" and watch back to back, so much easier than waiting for the next week to complete that arc. Anyone know how many episodes this season?

Lol Scott fulfilled his ass quota in epi 3...

Just the CIA chick and that looked like reflex. "try-out' girl at the bar doesn't count.

Ten eps.

[champ]

Season 1 with Porter was class, if you haven't seen it yet - and love Season 2 - I would seriously recommend finding it.

I actually watched it after Season 2 so it acted as a good prequel to the show!

[champ]

Aye, that's why it's worth a watch!

The happenings in our Season 1 - especially towards the end - do have a direct impact on your Season 1... stupid and surprising really that they didn't show it over there!

[Abyss]

I think that the NorAm distributor looked at S2 and decided that it worked better standing alone. By most reports UK S2 is leaps and bounds better than UK S1, mostly because of the change in leads.

And they aren't wrong... I had no idea at all that NorAm S1 was UK S2 until after i had watched the whole S2 and looked up info re S3. The link is brief to the point of anecdotal and handled well enough that a viewer starting w UK S2 wouldn't have any problems.

That being said, it's doing well here and i'm surprised they haven't made UK S1 available. Probably 'fear' of confusing the poor stoopid viewers.

Latest ep 4 was awesome and then some!

STRIKEBACK S3 EP 4 SPOILERS

Naturally last eps rpg round missed, but the firefight that followed was pure brilliance! Had to love the way Scott and Stonebridge broke the terrorists by advancing into them. Seriously the action in this ep was some of the best in the series. Even priestdude vs wounded terrorist was great... Ffs he stabbed him in the gutwound With A Cross!!!

Naturally Damian sheboinged Taureg lady. I was so so sure she was dead meat but she managed to survive the ep without more than about 30seconds of damsel in distress.


Great ep. Loved it. This show is on fire.

[Abyss]

Given that we're seeing a (very, very very slightly marginally almost not quite but sort of) more mature Damian this season it's not unthinkable that he'll go looking for her at the end of the season if only for some more 'hey we're about to die' sex. That scene was hysterical.

I don't think we're supposed to like Maj Dalton very much. They're building her as a character but the whole 'she's a spook don't trust her' thing and the generally flat performance isn't exactly endearing. Plus the sex with terrorists thing. I do like how Sinclair is challenging her tho'. He at least is way more interesting this season.
I can't quite decide how i feel about the captured terrorist's decision to trigger the bomb at the end but if nothing else it was unexpected.

Blue skirt guy went out with a bang and now there's no doubt merc guy and sniper girl are the bad guys. Sniper-guy who killed Mike's wife joining them was a nice touch, if somewhat predictable.

This show also has some nice moments of real clever... the exchange between Arab doctor and Taureg lady about how occupiers never leave was actually quite deep.

[champ]

Has there ever been a bad episode of this series?

The new one was quality, as always! Shit ALWAYS hits the fan with serious quality action scenes... god I love this show!

[Catherine]

my guy and I like it so much we dvr it and watch the 2 episode arcs together, no waiting a week to find out who Damien gets to "know better" -lol

I try to do this but usually my level of psyche for a new ep is such that i can't always wait, even tho i KNOW the eps are done in 2-part sets.

I just now finally had the time to watch last weeks epi. Fuck that was great and a new epi tonight to boot....score for me.

What he said and fuck me but that ep was INSANE.

Spoiler

Is it me or were there TWO factions after the scientist - Matlock's mercs and another group who wore black balaclavas and sent in the motorcycle team, including evil stewardess who was damn scary btw.

I think evil stewardess planted the bug on Damian when she grabbed his junk while they were doing it. Damian needs to learn that anyone who wants to spontaneously fuck him is up to no good.

Michael going after sniper guy was predictable but holy fuck the way he went all Terminator chasing him and then the gun duel was just madness.

Now they're fucked because Damian had to get laid and fucked again because Stonebridge is on the warpath and...

....fuck me i love this show!

[champ]

Yeeeehaw motherfuckers! Another great episode!
