The lack of worldwide simultaneous release remains baffling, but I guess it gets me Strike Back a month or so early.

And apparently the next three episodes are already On Demand... if you have Sky and live in the UK.

Wow, the internet actually failed me. Despite the first four episodes being available on demand I can only seem to get the vaguest spoilers about what happens. Goddamn it brits, post online! :colbert:

Episode 2 was a big jump up from the premiere, I thought. While the premiere was largely concerned with the ticking clock and therefore didn't have time for much character work, this episode starts to lay out what the season will be exploring later.

And I cannot wait.

Also, I was getting serious Sleeping Dogs vibes from the first episode and felt kinda terrible since Thailand does not equal Hong Kong. And then I just saw that they cast Wil Yun Lee in a major role. So goddamn giddy.

Holy poo poo, there's a wok in the boat. That's amazing. I love how the show does all the stupid silly poo poo but tries to earn every inch of it.

Here be spoilers. Does she at least go down in a fairly heroic fashion? If she's going to die, please have it be because she's a soldier, not because she's taking ride on the Damien Express.

Spoilers for Ep 4 - She went out a soldier. And this show has always loved a good death - usually right around this point. The blonde in the first season and Dalton last season - I think Sinclair was killed off around the midpoint of season two.

Anyone want to binge the next four episodes on demand so I can gauge expectations accordingly? Keeping them in Thailand for four episodes didn't really work for me - and I agree that this season has felt much more broad than I was hoping for.

No idea if it aired, but it is up on all the usual "places." cough cough hack wheeze.

Some pretty great stuff in it. Definitely sets up one hell of a finale two-parter.

If anything, the whole "chase the baddies around the globe while they build a weapon" is riffing on season two, the one with all the game of thrones dudes.

I found this last season kinda uneven, but the finale managed to work well on several levels. Pretty much everything in the latter half of the season with Locke was some of my favorite Strike Back material ever.

I was expecting FSBae or Martinez to show up during the finale, surprised they instead went with who they did.

Did we meet the bald friend of Scott's who helped them out before or was he new?

Locke got to kill the mercenary bomber, someone objectively worse than Li-Na.

Oh, and that fucker killed his son.
