Ep by ep; Harder than it looks


The A-team rescue Patty Hearst. I really like this one, it's very atypical, we miss many of the clichés of the series and go straight into the action of which there is plenty. The script keeps surprising you as we go, BA has a formidable opponent for once and the piece of cake recurring gag is genuinely funny. Also we have BA's remark at the end, they seem to be genuinely trying to soften his image.

But it's so 80s! The A-team seem to have a huge belief than no one will ever shoot them in the head, Hannibal's bullet proof vest makes him invincible. The final explosion is pathetic and like all pre 9/11 terrorists they're really only in it for the money.
