Cute that the youngest is Hannibal. Maybe his way of being on the jazz is running around in circles.  Last night, he wanted to be Face, so I got to be Hannibal. He didn't want to watch, so he ran off to another room to do something. |

I think I prefer this one over Say it With Bullets.

I just finished watching this one.....as always, not one of my favorites, but still has some great moments, despite numerous plot holes. Speaking of plot holes....
1) I don't think the "Follies" bus even has those compartments on the side of it.
2) The prison guard didn't check the compartment very well, I guess, if he missed Tawnia?? And didn't Hannibal even see her? Also, they didn't check the compartment on the other side of the bus.
3) How did the team get back the old people's jewelry??
I do feel impressed with Tawnia's determination....but did she know that this prison transport bus was actually being driven by the A-Team or did she think it was a real one??
Something that always bugs me about this one, too, is when Murdock goes to the prison, it seems like Lila and Al keep glancing over to where Murdock is, although I don't know that they could even see him. It just feels strange to me, like they know he is listening to them or something.
It also sounded like Max was trying to say something earlier in the episode as the team was leaving his home, but I could not figure out what he was saying. And his comments about the people on the bus just eating their candy bars and telling jokes seems odd to me, as well, like they are toddlers or something!

Unfortunately, I don't remember too much about this one and my only note is: What, is Tawnia like Margaret Houlihan? Knows all the guys? (In the Biblical sense...) I can't even remember what line of hers triggered that. Yeah, Face is right. Having it expired makes the scam more natural and believable. I like that he did that too. When Tawnia was excited to go, was it this one where Face and Murdock kind of make faces at her? Making fun of her, sort of? I just wonder if that was the actors coming through there... Annoyed with how poor of an actress she was. Or if they were actually Face and Murdock annoyed with Tawnia. Is she a poor actress, or was Tawnia just supposed to be dorky? I always assumed the latter. (Is this the one where she's like, "I feel so INCLUDED!!" I was thinking that was a different one because I thought I had written down a note about it. At any rate, I was rolling my eyes at her, too...) It's probably why I like fan fiction so much. They tend to do a lot of angsty stuff and the inner monologues! Oh, I love to know the team's deepest, darkest feelings. The guns and stuff are secondary to the relationships. LOL. In my writing, I'm soooo bad about doing more inner monologues than action... a bit hard when the fandoms I write about tend to involve action (A-Team, Tron, etc.). Not that there isn't a lot to get introspective about in either universe, but my navel-gazing-to-action ratio is way skewed... haha. I thought it was weird that Tawnia was back to being annoying and Hannibal didn't want her to come along after she was so useful in PURE-DEE POISON. It seemed like she had been accepted as part of the team in that ep, but now she was being pushed away. I'm surprised Hannibal wasn't more angry with her after he found her hiding in the bus - she could have got them all into real trouble! Me too, but this was one of those times when they show Tawnia really having some guts, which is the most they ever do for her. (I mean, I don't like her that much, but that's because they wrote her that way.) I assume they made Tawnia annoying so they didn't have another Amy/Melinda Culea situation... (speaking of Amy, I'm surprised she and Tawnia were friends-- I could see her also rolling her eyes at some of Tawnia's stuff. Except for in the beginning, Amy didn't "try too hard" the way Tawnia did.)
And when we watch the credits, each kid points to the screen and says "I'm him." Luckily they all like different characters, so there are no fights. But if they don't pay attention to anything else, they ALWAYS watch the opening credits.  I was joking once with a coworker who also watches reruns sometimes when they come on; at work there were three of us who hung out, plus sometimes we'd talk to the boss. I was joking that "you know he'd want to be Hannibal" and we were trying to figure out who the rest of us were. The one is pretty and so she'd definitely be Face. I figured I'd be "the love child of Murdock and B.A." The one I was talking to is generally not to be messed with so I suppose she'd be B.A. I think they are just too cheap to pay for new set dressing (the prison sign). Yeah, kind of like how in the episode where they're pretending to be HVAC techs, they're wearing their "Beller Air" jumpsuits? 2) The prison guard didn't check the compartment very well, I guess, if he missed Tawnia?? And didn't Hannibal even see her? Also, they didn't check the compartment on the other side of the bus. Most buses I've seen of this type have doors on both sides, but there's only one compartment that spans the whole width of the bus, I think? |

I think she's supposed to be kind of dorky. The one where she feels so included is PURE-DEE POISON, I believe.
They could have at least added the word "Conditioning" or somehow required the "Air" part to read "HVAC" couldn't they? Actually, I'm not even sure that term "HVAC" was used back then.....but maybe it was.
Wow! Thank you! Now I'm the dorky one.....I always thought there were compartments on both sides of the bus and this always bugs me that they only seem to check the one side. But if the compartment goes all the way through, then this makes good sense. Still not sure how they didn't see Tawnia.....if she could escape their notice that way, seems like a prisoner could as well.

You could still be right, depending on the bus or time frame-- I don't know what buses back then were like, or all bus makes, just some I've seen within the past 10-20 years or so. It's certainly possible on this show that they just didn't bother with their due diligence. |
