Frank Spotnitz was showrunner last season, right? Who took over this year?
I'm not sure who the showrunner was last season. Not sure who it is this season either.

Episode 5
The trail of the missing nuclear triggers leads to Cape Town, South Africa, where kidnappers abduct the children of an expatriate munitions expert to force him to cooperate.
*fist bump*Anyway, now I'm fully on board for season 3.
- The production values are of the fucking hook. Holy crap. Being a foreigner I always thought that Cinemax was synonymous of shitty shows (and I really don't have the sightliest faith in British TV when it comes to action shows/movies) but amount of action and the quality of it are absolutely unparalleled. Mad props.
Cinemax was synonymous with soft core porn shows, which is why people used to call it "Skinemax". Strike Back was really their first mainstream production.
I hope they are making mad bank. They deserve it.
A recent interview:
- Rhona Mitra wanted to bring authenticity to 'Strike Back' role
The show's military advisers--some are British, some American and some South African--worked with Mitra on the various techniques used for different weapons. Dalton would have learned how to use the AK-47 she brandished in the season premiere while undercover in Africa, Mitra said, because it's not used by the British military. Later she used an MP-5, which is a British military issue weapon and which required a different style and stance for shooting.
stupid old man running on the MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING ROAD
well when you have people out to kill you and people out to kidnap you and your only protection just ran off to god knows where rational thought isn't really high on the list ^^I know, that was a really stupid thing to do. He should have just stayed put in the place he and Stonebridge were at before Stonebridge ran off to kill the sniper guy.

I do hate how Stonebridge couldn't hit the guy in the car while he was driving straight at him
I guess we can excuse it with "poor shooting due to rage"
For me the African setting is getting a bit stale.
Scott's ex colleague a bit longer instead of just killing him off there and then, the dynamic was interesting and gave more depth to his character. But I guess that's another victim of the show's breakneck pace.
This show never fails at leaving me hungry for more, FFS.
I really liked Rebecca, and I'm glad Scott didn't kill her at the end. The women on this show are a bit like Bond Girls: they're well acted and intriguing and sexy and badass, but after their arc is over you never see them again.![]()
I am honestly a bit miffed by how disposable are most of the female characters. It's like they are barely above the plot worth of a napkin. At least something tells me that the Mossad chick will return in future episodes, and that fills me with glee.her loathe-fuck was some kinky shit
I also find funny that Rhona looks a lot better these days that during her Lara Croft time. Eh.
I love the sniper girl a bit more than the others ^^I love all the women on this show.
Episode 7
Section 20 is now working covertly with the South African government, and are investigating Knox's reasons for breaking opposition political leader Walter Lutulu out of a prison in Zimbabwe. To track Lutulu down, Section 20 get to his activist daughter Lilian. Knox teams up with a familiar face.
I've asked this before but how the hell is this thread only 3 pages?
Seriously. This is one of the best shows on TV.
Consistently great. I need to watch the last two episodes I like to do them in double bills when I can.
They better keep him around... Stonebridge is cool, but a character so focused and "straight" needs some counterbalance. Also, didn't he "hate" the notion of returning to America? I'm going to get mighty pissy if they off another great character. Elenor's death still burns.Very tense throughout, and it seems as though Scott has set his sights on an "out". It wouldn't surprise me in the least if he left after this season. (not that I would want him to, mind)
