Wasn't expecting a certain part in ep 3.

That's what makes it a great series, you never know which way the plot is going to turn!

[Abyss]

I'm still getting caught up on Breaking Bad in time for the finale and my tv time has been sadly limitted lately but am hoping to get caught up soon. I totally miss raving about STRIKEBACK after each new ep.

Fucking brutal...

To Major Dalton!

That was indeed VERY fucking brutal. Did not expect them to do that in ep 04.

Anyway, did you guys know that the first UK season of Strike Back (the one with sgt. Porter) will start airing in the US on Oct. 25? That's right after S03 (or S04) concludes. See also http://www.huffingto..._n_3876259.html

[Abyss]

Only just caught up to ep3 and loving it...

EPS1/2


OH MY GOD THEY KILLED BAXTER!!!!!
YOU BASTARDS!!!!!

... see this is why the techie people should just stay at their computers and stop trying to play with the real soldiers.

Loved Dalton's revenge spree tho'. Wow she looks like hell.

Damn i would have liked to go on that road trip with Damian and Stonebridge at the start of ep 1. I guess the CIA allowed him back into the country post whatever double dealing happened in S2.

So we're going Islamis fundies again this season? ...Oh, wait, no, Latino drug lords and Russian mobsters too. Yay for diversity!!!


That Russian mobster jr guy just screamed plot device death.


Oh hey freaky Mossad chick Rebecca!!!

The whole thing from fleeing the compound to Stonebridge taking the boat to the boat chase was extremely awesome.

We're doing the RPG at the end of the ep thing again? ...is this a thing now?

Oh look they all survived.

Fat latino gangster is funny.

"There are always too many." ...word.

Whoa... Leo. Fun twist tho utterly telegraphed.

Oh hey bye Rebecca. the washing hands/prayer thing was a nice touch.

Dalton is looOOoooosing it.

I like Colonel Competent. Bet anyone a twenty he takes over by mid-season. Sooner if Dalton keeps it up with the morphine.

Martinez... are they even going to acknowledge that they've just co-opted a fairly mediocre American DEA agent who got her whole team killed into Section 20 just so Richmond has someone to play dress-up with?

EP 3

Ok make that by like next ep. Dalton's gone bugnuts.

The chase scenes this season are over the top cool.


Damian's made his quota every ep so far, so all is well with the universe.


VERY happy to see we'll finally get the original Season 1.

[Abyss]

All caught up.

SPOILERS TO EP 4
SPOILERS
SPOILERS

Wow they really cracsburned Dalton, didn't they. Richmond and Martinez better stay away from refrigerators the way this series has been chewing thru its female cast.

Leo is totally playing a double-game.

Stonebridge's heart issues are almost upsetting to see. i'm thinking he'll end the season promoted to Major and in charge of S20. or possibly dead.

So now we've got Russian mob, IsFundies AND the RIRA. Fun!!!

Stonebridge is Sergeant Noncom.

Yeah and Scott was a merc and Martinez is an American DEA agent and Richmond and Baxter were techies and Dalton was an undercover op with zero command experience and Col Locke is supposed to be riding a desk back in London.
What's your point?

Quote

... Speaking of Damien I was kinda thinking he'd get ED after Rebecca but nope he's still fucking away!!!

Cmon... if anything shebanging Russian Stripper girl and then giving her an 'out' was exactly how he would mourn Rebecca. Which naturally will come back to bite shoot stab and explode him in the ass.

[Stalker]

Just saw 4. Holy shit!

Spoiler

Let's just kill everyone this season! Who dies next? Not sure myself, but I wonder if Scott or Stonebridge bite it this year. They've taken a lot of injuries in the past, maybe this time they don't survive it. That would suck though.

[Abyss]

Forgot to add i didn't realize Leatherby was Dougray Scott.


He did a great job with that role. Almost a shame he's done with the show.

[Abyss]

That episode was insane.

And things are go wrong all over. Holy fuck.

SPOILERS

S3 EPISODE 5 SPOILERS

DO NOT READ THESE SPOILERS

IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE EP

SPOILERS



The thing that really messes with me is between Baxter, Dalton and now Stonebridge's health issues, pretty much anyone is fair game for a bullet this season.

I was pretty sure Martinez and Richmond weren't dead, but even so it didn't look good, and now Locke, who's been around all of 20minutes, is pretty much fucked too.

As an aside, that whole scene at the airport was amateur hour and Richmond deserved the hits just for letting McWhatserface into the bathroom with a closed door, and then Damian and Mike actually giving up their guns while the terrorist was still in the can.

Loved the interrogation scene. That was really nicely played by the actors.

Damian didn't get any this ep. That's not a good sign. The gratuitous lesbian scene was a bit silly and didn't make up for it.

If it turns out Leo was al-Zakiir the whole time i'm going to be pretty dissappointed because we already got the double agent thing in season one.

And someone needs to tell Martinez that things tend to go badly for women who shag Stonebridge.

Ep 5 spoilers

That was a bad move shutting the stall door yes. I raised my brows abit though on that part. How did she know it was there and did they just have a pistol in every single female stall. It was a bit to convient for me.

Yeah that wasn't the strongest bit of plotting the show has ever had. Think about it for a minute and it's contrived as fuck, but they're usually at least a little clever with plot twists so i can cut them some slack because of the firefight that followed.

[champ]

Episode 9, wow, what a great shitstorm of an episode! Didn't see the end coming!

[Abyss]

All caught up at long last.

AND HOLY FUCKING FUCKSTEAKS OF FUCK EP 10 THAT SCENE WITH THE HOODS AND THE HAND SIGNALS AND THE FIGHT IN THE VAN AND STONEBRIDGE JUMPING THE CAR AND THE CHASE WAS
THE BESTEST MOST AWESOME THING EVEREST IN EVER!!!!!!!

Great season. Loved it. Better than S2 even if they did go the obvious route with the Leo reveal despite a similar thing in S1 including the last scene in the public square with the WMD.

Blond sniper dissing Damian for Stonebridge was the funniest thing the show has ever done and that's saying a LOT.

...so naturally Damian sheboings Richmond.


Cinemax doesn't run in Canada so no sign of the John Porter S1/ORIGINS here yet afaik.

Ive been waiting on Daimen/Richmond since ep 1 S1.....

Why isnt it playing Orgins on the same channel? It started here the very next Fri after S3 finale.

HBO USA, HBO Canada and Cinemax are all different entities with different schedules.
HBO US and HBO Cnd have a lot of overlap so we'll likely get it here eventually, but it's not automatic.

For some reason I imagined that read out loud in a Cartman voice and cracked up!

But aye, great scenes all around, this show doesn't disappoint and another cracking season!

Final season coming up next year, cannot wait!

Hmmm... who will die?

[Abyss]

it would be apropos for Damian to insist he's getting out, but then die prompting Stonebridge to get out instead.

[champ]

That is one of the main reasons I love this show, no one is safe!

I half expected Stonebridge to bite the bullet the way season 3 was developing.

I watch this show with a mate and talking about the series finale, it would be cool seeing them both go down in a blaze of glory saving the world, that way it certainly would end but I do not see it happening!

I hope they both get to walk off into the sunset but after everything that has happened I expect one to die...

My gut feeling is Damian because of the reveal, more emotional impact, Stonebridge has already been bashed about somewhat to say the least!

It occurs to me that if they wanted to shift from TV seasons to movies, that would be fairly simple considering each season is more or less a series of movie length actioners split in two.

What the FUCK is taking so long with S4!!??!!?! We shoulda had this in 2014.

If my rumours have been milled correctly, Stapleton (Damian) was seriously injured filming 300: Rise of Sequelitis.

[Stalker]

It may even have been while filming Strike Back. Either way, I'm so ready for the next season.
