Hi! Glad you stopped by and commented. Y...@iz4spunk<br />Hi! Glad you stopped by and commented. Yes, you are right, Ian is sort of an outcast in their group especially because he wants to act by the book. You mention the bits of UF on Utube but, you can understand better those scenes only if they are contextualized. Laura is absurd, too. She goes there in search of some... attention from Ian, she is the one who starts the game then ... well, let's stop here.<br />I also saw the SB clips on the site but, the interviews in the DVD contain new materials, other statements which were not there. <br />Finally, Strike Back at Rome Fiction Festival...there will be a hundred series taking part in the event. How much attention will each of them receive? Will someone from the cast be here to present it? We are all ears and eyes to discover that! Fingers crossed. Have a very good weekend!Maria Graziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876779286144473782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-52159118680080242592010-06-19T22:57:06.269+02:002010-06-19T22:57:06.269+02:00You put it very well Maria.

I think the point of the series is that they are dysfunctional. My perception was that His character followed the rules and hence didn't fit in. In the end he had obvious control issues too the way he assumed Carol would break up her marriage. <br />In any case the best bits are on YT. I'll confess to watching that towel bit several times but mainly for his facial expressions. <br />btw I did watch The Strike Back DVD extra's: great indeed most of it I had seen on their website. Production value to sum it up in one word. <br />Looking forward to how Rome will respond!Fanny/iz4bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08087468520544914913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-67536410649028105192010-06-19T13:57:30.627+02:002010-06-19T13:57:30.627+02:00@Karen@ tyme_4_t

First of all, Phylly, it was not only the...@phylly3<br />First of all, Phylly, it was not only the end. It was the entire series. Wrong, completely wrong. The worst side of the military in a very bad show. The final lucid murder in cold blood of an officer, a human being they simply didn't like, was just otrageous and made me furious. But they started doing awful things from the first episode and nothing never happened to them. Many people were killed because of their wrong actions and none of them paid or felt any sense of guilt. No, thanks, unacceptable. I only saw it to make a comparison with SB but this is obviously the last time and there is no comparison at all. <br />Thank you , Phylly. Enjoy your weekend. Take care.

I did see the screen cap of his body in the freezer and I was shocked by that!!<br />I am glad you could appreciate Strike Back, as so many of his fans don't like the action genre. I like any genre that is done well, and it sounds like Strike Back was pretty good! <br />I would watch Richard Armitage in absolutely anything, but I DO want him to have a happy ending.<br />I can even see the bright side of Sparkhouse!:)<br />Have a great weekend!Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.com
