Strike Back -- Season Finale -- "Episode 20" -- 10/12/12

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


Synopsis:

Spoiler:
In the season finale, Scott asks for Bryant's help in stopping Knox; a vengeful Stonebridge has trouble focusing on the mission at hand; and Section 20 gets much-needed assistance from South African police to track down Knox and his nuclear arsenal.


Episode 10 of 10


Remember, Strike Back was renewed for a 3rd season (4th for the UK). Will most likely return next summer.

Hunted starring Melissa George premieres next Friday and takes over this timeslot. It was created by former Strike Back and X-Files Producer Frank Spotnitz. Here's the trailer in case you haven't seen it yet.

I know this show isn't afraid to kill people off, but I hope they don't kill off Sgt. Richmond. I really like Michelle Lukes and she actually shined this season when they gave her more to do than sit in front of a computer screen.

Damn, I thought for sure they were going to kill Rhona Mitra. She seemed like a 1 season character. I like how she traded the triggers to keep Section 20 alive. I liked the conversation about zero at the end.

While I liked certain episodes of this season better than last, I enjoyed last season as whole more. The finale was sort of anticlimactic on this one. The major death this year wasn't at the end, but in the middle. Great show, though. Glad it's coming back for some more ass kicking next year.

Re: Strike Back -- Season Finale -- "Episode 20" -- 10/12/12

Watched the finale last night.

I agree with Deftones, it was very anticlimatic. Overall I enjoyed season 2 and it indeed had some good episodes, but I think season 1 as a whole was much better. I think the ending with Knox getting shot in that scuffle kind of sucked. I was surprised that they didn't kill off Dalton.

The assault on that compound was pretty sick. Lots of crazy kills.

In the end, I thought Latif from last season was a much more sinister villain than Knox. Knox was really out to get revenge for his father getting screwed over years ago. Latif, on the other hand, was a sick fuck who didn't care who he killed.

Last season also had a much more grander international scale as it felt like they had more settings. I thought the setting in South Africa got dull after awhile. I'd like to see Stonebridge and Scott globe hop to more international locations.

It was a good season, but season 1 was much better. I am glad that Stonebridge and Scott will live to see another 10 episodes next summer.

Rhona Mitra will definitely not return next season. She just signed on to a new TNT Pilot called "The Last Ship" Eric Dane, who
Spoiler:

was just killed off Greys Anatomy,


is the male lead.
