Thanks. That was very clever. And sad at the same time.

Gotta love DB (and DS) for telling it like it is, don't you? Absolutely. Even if it doesn't always get them friends There are not enough people who have the guts, especially not in their business.

Totally agree with you, Mossy. Face was never a sissy boy, even though he often whined about things. But so often he is the one to have to jump right into the middle of the bad guys' operations. He takes plenty of physical abuse, too. But he also uses his wits. He is smart enough to know that he is not the physically strongest team member, but when push comes to shove, he is not afraid to face up to even the meanest bad guys. I think he enjoyed whining about things, but I think that deep down, even Face loves the jazz and loves beating the bad guys at their own game.

Fully agreed. He'd never have been Special Forces if he weren't smart as hell, capable as hell, tough, with a high threshold for pain and suffering.
I can't blame the guy for wanting the finer things in life after a prolonged stay at the Hanoi Hilton, not to mention growing up in an orphanage. ;D
And he does enjoy the Jazz! (Remember him grinning while using that flamethrower in WASTE 'EM?)

Yes, well said amyk and miz, that's what I wanted to express. Oh yeah, I would remember that scene anyway, even if I hadn't watched Waste 'Em today There are more scenes like this one in the show, for example when he was throwing molotow cocktails from this balcony in The Out-of-Towners ;D

And of course, he had a helluva good time using the cabbage cannon in LABOR PAINS. How could anyone not have a good time doing that?

Face seems to enjoy the non-conventional weapons more than any other team member. Remember the look on his face when he is using all 7 flavors of Hi-Brite in TROUBLE BREWING? And isn't he also the one who fires off the taffy in SHOWDOWN? ;D

He sure does; you're right, Amy.
He just usually whines about either getting stiffed, the possibility of his clothes and/or car getting wrecked. But he never seems to worry about actually getting physically hurt, so much. ;D

Funny. I always got the impression that Dirk liked the way Face was portrayed in the series.

I don't like that the new Face apparently "likes violence." I don't think I want any of "my team" to "like" violence. I feel like they don't really "like" violence, but they use it because they feel it is necessary.....however, we all know that they usually are not really that violent, as they don't straight out shoot people dead. I think they use their violence more to just scare people.
I also did not realize that DB wanted to play Face as a rougher character. That is strange, since it seemed he went from being a little more "rough" in season one to being the polished suit-wearing con artist more in later seasons.

I figured he liked it the way it was written since it stayed the same all those years.

Maybe he's just being nice and saying that in order to be supportive of this new guy...
