- GoofsDuring a firefight toward the end, spent 'brasses' or Bullet casings are seen landing on the floor it's clearly visible that they are blank rounds, What's worse it's played in slow motion. (surely they could have got some live round cases and dropped them one by one to be edited in after filming)
Featured review
Bittersweet ending - Season review
I really don't know what to say...Strike Back was something special to me since the story of John Porter ended and the 'buddies' got introduced. It was a fun, action-packed, dramatic, tense ride and this 5th season really wasn't that different, so why do I complain? You know it's like really good roller-coaster compared to a mediocre. They kind of have the same traits: fast, long, etc. but somehow one is much much better than the other. This 5th season was the mediocre one, unfortunately. We had a nice little back-story, a somewhat menacing antagonist, we had the good acting and lot's of bullets were fired. Still, this came out mediocre. The second half of the season (or maybe the whole) felt like the staff and crew knew that this is going to be the last one, and instead of taking the opportunity to kick some major butt for a very last time, they went stolid and phlegmatic, like 'why bother?!'. The writing was especially bad in most cases, considering all the situations Scott and Stonebridge had to solve. I can't believe that the writers still kept themselves to the templates of making section 20 look like a bunch of unlucky idiots: they keep screwing every mission while coming out alive and victorious at the end. They make one step forward and two steps backwards. There just has to be another way to keep things interesting for the audience, or is it (not to mention that somehow Scott manages to sleep with all those women again, no matter what, even in the most impossible locations and under the most ridiculous circumstances...)
One last thing: I know that Sulliven Stapleton had an injury and they had to delay shootings. Still, there is no way a battle-hardened soldier could look like the way he looks during the last episode with all that fat around his belly. They didn't even care this time. And that's unfortunate.
