Strike Back -- "Episode 25" -- 9/13/13




Synopsis:

While recovering from a shocking turn of events, Section 20 faces a different threat: a new enemy joining forces with an old one. Locke (Robson Green) draws Kamali (Zubin Varla) in closer to the team. Scott (Sullivan Stapleton) looks for an old friend, while Stonebridge (Philip Winchester) gets closer to a new one.

Written by John Simpson; directed by Paul Wilmshurst.

1st half was slow as hell, but we did get a some near lesbo sex.

That airport shootout was good, but not nearly as good as some of the other ones they've had this year. Sucks that Locke got kidnapped, but since he's the replacement for Dalton, there's no way he's gone.

Pretty good episode.

That shootout at the Budapest airport was a pretty badass way to end it.

Was nervous for a second when Julia got shot. Thankfully she was wearing a vest.

Damn, that McKenna is one hardcore bitch. I did like the near lesbo sex scene with her and the chick from the British consulate.

I think Locke will be fine. Section 20 can't lose two bosses in one season. I liked his interrogation of her and her reaction when he revealed her brother was a Spy for the British.

Now, interesting to see Michael have some kind of medical issue. I wonder how that will impact the rest of the season.

I guess his sickness if from when he cut arm when he fell through the floor? I don't recall the scene but I saw it on the "previously". Looked like maybe those were chemical weapons and they got into his wound?

yeah, my buddy mentioned him being poisoned, so i assumed that scene when he fell through the ceiling at the airport was when it happened.

I thought it was more a mental thing as he's had the shakes for a while now. Ties in with the whole selling of the diamonds to escape Section 20 subplot.

At the end of this episode, they had some interviews with Winchester and Stapleton. The episode ended at around 47 minutes, so they filled the extra time with some bonus stuff. They talked about the episode where Stonebridge fell and cut himself on the leaking chemical weapon.

So Michael is sick and Scott is talking about quitting. We'll see how things go.


BTW, unrelated to this episode, a little annoyance. Cinemax/HBO recorded a lot of interviews/behind the scenes footage while shooting seasons 1-3, yet in the BD's all we get is a few commentaries.
