... still haven't watched 5+6 (but for some 3min skimming), saving it for a day when I have NOTHING else to do
but after my initial anticipation and excitement (post pre-release hype) I was decidedly underwhelmed with 1+2 and, after lowering my expectations A LOT I found myself enjoying 3+4. Still not impressed though.. TV equivalent of popcorn cinema. From what I gathered, 5+6 are pretty much a repetition of 3+4, just with slightly different settings and characters (except for recurring annoying ones like Danni).I too wouldn't have watched it hadn't it been for RA.. and IF there is a second series I hope they get a proper script.
TL
- I too had to rely on subtitles

I didn't know it was supposed to be a series, thought it was to be a mini-series, a long movie. So, I did feel that once the lady journalist was rescued it began getting confusing because the only thing really left to do was find out why Collinson did what he did. Although the middle story was very good, I kept wondering how it was advancing the important parts of the story.
There is lots of extraneous footage and meanderings that lead nowhere that could be cut instantly. I'd keep the last story (assuming the second was gone) because Porter needed to understand Collinson more and clear himself, but distilled to a half hour or so.
It would work better (for me) as a two hour movie. They have at least two hours of great stuff and removing the fluff would have made it excellent.

Has anybody posted Strike Back on youtube?
RE: Strike Back - rbs89 - 24-06-2010 08:05 AM
i haven't been able to find it on youtube, but i was able to watch it elsewhere.
Definitely worth watching... all i need now is a second series so i can find out how john porter gets himself out of this new mess.

Great news for Canadian fans - Strike Back will be shown in November

I have managed to see SB via other ways (ahem) but maybe if SB is showing in Canada...RA will have to do some promotions here... hmmmm although that's around the same time as Series 9 will be on...but a girl can hope....

I've read in an austrialian blog and a post by an american that ABC has bought the rights of Strike Back and so it will air in those countries too.
