Strike Back -- "Episode 6" -- 9/23/11

Synopsis:

Spoiler:
With Scott forced to the sidelines in a Sudan hospital, Stonebridge heads out with Crawford and Jacoub on the trail of Clare, who's been dragged by Tahir to a Janjaweed camp. The trio execute an improbable rescue of Clare and Nijam (the son of a woman slaughtered in the original attack on the clinic), but the Janjaweed are in hot pursuit. Meanwhile, Grant threatens Maggie to keep her from breaking the story, while Scott finds that hospitals can be hazardous to your health. As events come to a head, Stonebridge presses Crawford to reveal the name of Latif's contact within MI6--but the arms dealer won't budge while his daughter's safety is in doubt.


Episode 6 of 10

Is there anyone else in this forum watching this besides me and Deftones? And I'm not counting those who download torrents of this. Your seriously missing out if you have Cinemax and aren't watching. This show is sick and so badass.

I don't get how this series thread gets almost 250 views a week, but only me and Deftones are the only ones raving about it.

Hey, I've been all-in since episode 1. It gets a lot of buzz on Twitter though I don't personally know anyone that watches it (let alone has heard of it).

Sorry Geofferson. Forgot about you.

Yeah I don't know any people who subscribe to Cinemax so it's tough to find people who have even heard of this show. I think 9 times out of 10, people think of Cinemax as the softcore Porn network.

There are a couple more people who watch it, but don't comment regularly. All I know, this is a badass show. It's cranks up the violence and sex. I buy into both characters as to who they are. Looking forward to this, as always.

I know the premiere numbers were good, DJariya. Any word on if they've continued to be what Cinemax has expected?

Last Friday got approx 500K viewers including the re-air (300K for the 10pm airing) Not sure what Cinemax is expecting, but to me that sounds good for this network, especially since the premiere got around 550K and that was considered really good.

Just popping in to say I'm watching

All and all, agree that it is bad ass - but I had a problem with the sex scene last Friday when they got back to that guy's place and he went into the next room. I just don't get that one. He left the room and in like 10 seconds they are ripping their clothes off. Wasn't he still in the next room? lol - a minor issue all and all

OMG, he did it!!!! Scott is my hero. I fucking love this guy. Shot in the spleen and all, he still gets laid.

Another badass episode. The gun fight between Stonebridge and Mr. Ecko's crew was pretty damn exciting. Yes, that was Mr. Ecko from Lost.

Loved Scott sticking the surgical knife in the back of the head of that corrupt Minister.

Okay so he played both characters. Is he best known as the Oz character?

Anyways, he was pretty badass. at him getting distracted by the chopper and Stonebridge shooting him up.

Waiting for Scott to bang a chick in the middle of a heavy gunfight next. The guy is a machine.

I've been watching every episode. Been enjoying them.

LOL course I have to ask, anyone sticking around to watch Chemistry or Skin to the Max afterwards?

Scott getting laid 4 more times is inevitable.

We have to suspend disbelief quite frequently with this show, but that shootout in the desert took it to another level. Not sure how only one guy in the jeep was shot when they drove through the checkpoint.

Otherwise, action-filled episode that was pretty intense at times.
