A-Team series ep review "The Theory of Revolution"

[delorita]

I love Face in this ep!!! Being the one who has to go into prison on his own free will. Who is beaten up and doesn’t reveal their secret. (I don’t really understand why he took the boots with the bug off before going there though)
Love the black tshirt and the shoulder holster!! Oh and of course in the beginning him playing volleyball with nothing on but his shorts!!

I think this ep shows that Murdock is truly in love with him. And wise versa. It’s just that Face won’t admit it to himself. Two scenes with them holding hands? Come on!! Well, Murdock holding Face’s, but he doesn’t pull away so fast either…the kisses on Face’s cheeks and the howling? How cute is that?! And that LOOK Murdock gives him!

And Murdock flies a really cool chopper!!! And I love how longish his hair is in this. Really suits him better when all those curls peak out from under that cap.

Don’t know what to think of Hannibal. His “Have I ever let you down?” Sounded a bit angry somehow. I’m getting the feeling, that he does love his boy but hides that beneath an almost cold manner. You can only see it in tiny glimpses, for example when he watches Face and Murdock howl and grins so broadly.

Frankie…he had way too much to do again. BA’s explosions, Face’s girl…him speaking Spanish … I wonder if ANY of the fans really liked him ever. I almost feel sorry for the actor who really is doing his best. A while back this would have been exactly my type, but he just isn’t! I wish him away from my original team. * sigh * But then, we probably wouldn’t have S5…and some more very cute Face moments…

Back in the nineties, there was loads of fanfic online about Frankie turning out to be a bad guy, working undercover with the team, and plotting much evil. It was a very popular theory! Just about the only way that I can put up with his presence is to think of him that way. It's a shame how much I dislike season five, and that's mostly down to him. Stockwell kills the fun quite a bit too.

There was fanfic in the nineties already? I just discovered the internet in late 1999 lol

Frankie working undercover for the bad guys...is he smart enough for that? lol It hurts to see him do all the explosions and BA just stands by in TTOR!

There's always been fanfic. In the old days people used to make magazines and distribute it that way, often at conventions, or through fan clubs, etc. It dates from way before the internet.

I think he left the boots so the guys would know where the client is. After all the mission is to get those guys out of prison, not him. Plus he can probably escape himself ones the scientists, or whatever they were, are save.

I sure am, just didn't have time to watch more and continue my list. (Plus I really find it difficult to follow LJ when some new posts have come in therefore sometimes don't check on even the things I prompted because I can't find them again)

I know what you mean! I once posted anonym and had a hell of a time to find my story again! Not gonna do that again. Glad you are still around :D

Just watched this episode this afternoon and came over here 'cos I **knew** you'd have reviewed it at some point.

Oh, I loved it! It was like an A-Team episode should be. In fact, if you got Frankie out of it, it would be damn near perfect!

Still don't understand why Frankie is even there! I mean I can see the role Stockwell plays, letting the guys steal Russian planes etc, I mean that would be hard if they were still in LA being hired by Joe Public, but Frankie???? Hmmm - no?!

Anyway, as much as I could rant about Frankie all day, my general strategy is just to ignore him completely, so that's what I will do now and head back to Face...

He was so cool, letting himself get caught like that, knowing what they would probably do to him. And so often in the A-Team, violence is slightly comical, never really threatening, but when those guys were beating and threatening him... it was actually... unpleasant.

And that guy said they had been working on him for some time and he hadn't said anything, poor Face. But of course he wouldn't say anything! My boys who always slag Face off in both movie/episodes couldn't even find anything to moan at him for.

Hannibal's 'Have I ever let you down?', yes it did sound a little snappy, I took that as he was offended that Face had moaned at him for being a bit tardy - hurt feelings and all that.

All in all, the best episode I have seen in a long while - think I might watch it again tomorrow!

(Oh and Face in only shorts... I need to make an icon from that!)

*asskickin Face icon* from this ep :D Need to do a shirtless one as well but recently I couldn't change icons in here.

Hehe so glad you looked for my review on this and responded with your own thoughts! I need to watch this ep again too, because Face truely shows his soldier self in here. Did you understand the thing about the boots?

And did you notice, that, when he falls down with the chair in that torture room, his hands are loose suddenly? hehe ;)

I think I'll try and ignore Frankie from now on too.

I haven't seen this ep yet. I think I will now though.
I dislike Frankie only because it seems that his roll is a bit like Tawnia's and Amy's in the other seasons. It's like he really isn't needed but they had to add someone for asletic reasons or something.

[delorita.livejournal.com]

Oh I don't know. I really liked Amy! She was part of the team in some eps, so it seemed!

Tanya I didn't like to so much but she was ok too.

Frankie is just...he suddenly does all the stuff the guys used to do and it somehow feels all wrong to me. But for one more season, which we wouldn't have without him (so I heard) I try to put up with him *sigh* I'd never pair him up with one of the others. He feels too off for me for that.
