Night.

Apollo... he suffers from being the serious one, doesn't he. Starbuck steals every scene, with that grin and the cigar, and having a smart mouth. Apollo has to be the responsible one. The grown up. I like how he's always trying to get Starbuck to call him captain in the pilot, though he gives up on that later on. It's quite indicative of the differences between the two characters. A lot of people like Apollo, for being so much more by-the-book, so much more of the traditional military type - so he does have his fans. I'm afraid he also rather suffers from having less interesting episodes. Whereas Starbuck gets the great fun "Young Lords" and "The Long Patrol", Apollo gets lumbered with "The Lost Warrior", which is a yawnfest. Starbuck gets to muck around in the enjoyably daft "Magnificent Warriors", and Apollo just looks po-faced.

Apparently Richard Hatch is the serious sort in real life, though, so they were very much cast in type.

morning set yourself down and grab a coffee I am expecting others....

Hi Ruby
New to this forum - I wouldnt have known this place existed but for Ruby

Reading back this A Team thread - sheesh you know your stuff, dodgy stand ins and all

*hey this place is all purple - have I taken something ? *

I don't know much actually cos I am a big avengers fan but I am saving that thread for a rainy day. Cold pizza Belle? and watch out for drugged rice milk.... And we can drool too I MISS Dirk....

Hello Belle. Welcome to the party.

*Cheers the dodgy stand-ins*

enjoyed The beast from the belly of a boeing. I like the more serious tone, Face as usual gets pulled in. and Hitchhiker42 would agree thank god for murdoch.
Series 2 with tawnia awaits but I have to get Sapphire and Steel first.

A Nice place to visit has been discussed before, but I wished it had been a two parter with Rays relationship with a bit of focus.At least Face gets mad!!

I do love Beast. Face and Hannibal singing, and being really snarky. BA going into those trances all the time. Murdock being cool. The stock footage crash at the end...

And Nice Place I have waxed lyrical about several times already, but it really is terrific, and I think I might have to watch it again some time today. Can't do much else, 'cause of the snow. Amy's great in this one, and so are Face and Murdock.

Hurry up and get Sapphire And Steele then, Ruby. We can talk about that next. My favourite is Assignment Two.

It would have been a good idea for them fill in the gaps a little better with Ray alright. You gotta love the scene in the cafe when the guy is hassling Amy and Face jumps to protect her. Didn't Murdock jump in aswell? Gotta cringe at the part when Murdock and Face come through the door at the end and Amy and the wife (Theresa or something?) run into their arms!! Been a while since I've seen series 1 they're all on vids and the scart cable is stuck into the back of the telly and I'm afraid to meddle lest the other half should find out!

i would indeed! see! he can be serious when he needs to be...

he does... or at least i think he does... may have been about the guy (m.c. gainey!! ) messing with his soup. i love his reaction when after taking the soup away murdock continues to eat thin air.

Oh Hitch do you realise that that Hannibal, Face, and B.A would be continously on their a*ses if it wasn,t for Murdoch?

Hey! Face does most of the work!

Anyway, I don't see that there's anything to cringe about when Amy and widow woman (sorry, I can't remember her name!) run into their arms. Widow woman has no experience in dealing with such things, is terrified out of her mind, and knows that those people already murdered her husband. Of course she's scared. Amy handles the situation so well, using what she's learnt, being brave, standing up to the bad guys - then she crumbles, which I think is realistic. She's just a young journalist. She's not a soldier.

I think it's cute that it's Face's arms she runs into though. She even squeaks his name. They have this brilliant bickering relationship, and it has depth.

Go onto general go into Dirk live interview hes supplied a link via whatever i don't know Dirk is on now. quick ....

Can't. Gotta go do some real world stuff for a while. Anyway, American radio stuff is scary.

Naah doesn't appeal to me. Don't like Amy when she's weak, don't like Amy when she's tough, I guess I just don't like Amy. Would have helped if she didn't drop the bullets all over the floor though

Sorry, meant to also say, Hitchhiker, have you seen the footage of Dirk and Dwight on UTube? Well worth a view.

in case you want to hear Dirks interview with JJ and the coach, try JJand the coach.com be prepared for some frank views and Someone sent a request from england asking the DJ to play Misty for me and dirk from 'Cleo' which was pretty funny.

Told you. American radio is scary! Most of the time it's done OTT just for effect, as the whole point is to get the audience riled, and phoning up to join in. But it still makes a wishy-washy liberal lefty like me fall off their chair.

Sorry Dirk. You will always be one of my favourite people, but don't expect me to share your politics.

If you don't like Amy, I understand. I'm quite fond of her myself. I like the episodes after she's gone, but I like the ones that have her, too. I think she was a good character.

Some odd sartorial choices, mind...

Anybody who mentions Face's various choices of attire at this point will get shot. Unless they're being complimentary.

I don't know if it's JJ or the Coach, but if he says "That was funny!" one more time, I'm going to hit him.

*Sigh*

And they just said DB's going to be on the show tomorrow. Update your blinking audio stuff, people...

tomorrow are you sure again?
