Not as good as last week, but I did enjoy some of it. The big convoy chase sequence was pretty cool.
at the computer geek giving Scott shit.
Awww crap, looks like that's goodbye to Nina.
For such a big confrontation between Locke and Oppenheimer, I thought that was sort of a lackluster ending to that story.

Anyone notice that this season has far fewer sex scenes between Damien Scott and random women? The structure of the season is also a bit different. Previous seasons had a 2,2,2,2,2 structure where there were minor villains and storylines resolved after every 2 episodes. For example, last season had the Colombian drug lord, the Scottish guy (Weatherby), the Irish chick who killed Dalton, the Russian prison and the bioweapon lab, and then finally Kamali. This season has been Michelle Yeoh all the way through.

For the context of this season, It made sense that Scott wasn't banging chicks left and right. I mean for the first 4 episodes, he was still with Julia and then needed time to grieve before he hooked up with Nina.

Strike Back could be coming, well, back — and bigger than ever.
Left Bank Pictures is developing a feature film based on the cult hit Cinemax action series, EW has learned exclusively.
While still very much at an early stage, the London-based production company has a deal to develop the film with European pay TV giant Sky.
We’re hearing stars Sullivan Stapleton and Philip Winchester would likely reprise their roles if the film is greenlit.
Producers are also in early talks with getting Strike Back’s U.S. distributor and production partner Cinemax on board too, but no deal has yet been struck on that front.
If everything goes according to plan, the film would shoot in South America in 2016, with the hope of developing Strike Back into a theatrical franchise.
Strike Back finished its fifth and final season in July. Strike Back follows the adventures of a secretive branch of the British Defense Intelligence service who take on high risk missions around the globe and is based on a novel of the same name by former Special Air Service soldier Chris Ryan.
The move comes on the heels of Bill Clinton revealing that Strike Back is among his favorite TV series during a recent interview, saying he “adores” the show.
Earlier this week, reports spread of another premium cable series getting a big-screen development deal: HBO’s Game of Thrones. The rumor stemmed from a UK tabloid which claimed to have interviewed author George R.R. Martin.
Several years ago, EW was the first outlet to report that some of the players involved in Thrones are interested in capping the series with a feature film. We have also reported that HBO is resistant to this idea, with the network’s top executives pointing noting that the service is a television business and it makes the most sense for a serialized drama that begins on HBO to stay on HBO rather than shift to a different medium for its final hours (the Sex and the City films and the Entourage movie were stand-alone stories made years after their respective shows ended). My understanding is HBO’s position on this has not changed and there is no movement on any film development. That said, Thrones is clearly cinematic and popular enough to sustain a movie, and an eventual theatrical work set in Martin’s world — either concluding the series or telling a separate story — would hardly surprise.

That would be so fucking awesome. The premise for Strike Back could definitely work as a major action flm. Imagine what they could do with a $30-50M budget? Hopefully all this goes through.

The show is damn good with the limited budget it has. A full scale movie with a moderate budget would be fucking insane. Bring it!
