Philip and Sully Answer Fan Questions

After the last episode of the latest season of Strike Back shown in the states, Cinemax and HBO announced that a weekend of Q & As with Philip and Sully was scheduled, as mentioned in a previous blog post.

Philip did get to answer some of the many questions that were asked.  We put in a few questions early on and got some great answers.

You can see all the questions that were asked to Philip here.

Thanks to Cinemax, HBO, Philip, and everyone involved in the Q & A.  It was fun.  We're sure that fans would love another Q & A with both guys in the future.

Q & A didn't quite go through for Sully and fans, but thanks to the Sullivan Stapleton Fans Facebook page, Sully was so generous to answer questions for the fans.  You can read the questions and answers here.

Strike Back Renewed for the Last and Final Season

Good news and bad news.

Good news: We get another season of Stonebridge and Scott.

Bad news: We ONLY get another season of Stonebridge and Scott.

So, we have Youtube videos to look forward to (usually as filming starts in spring), Comic-Con next year, and then the last season will probably start in August again.

Sky, a British station and Cinemax/HBO have ordered 10 more episodes for the last season.

Fans want more episodes because 10 is not enough.

So the questions from fans that they will want to have answered are-

-Will Stonebridge and Martinez finally go on their date?
-Will Stonebridge open up his heart?
-Will Scott meet his son?
-Will Scott settle down?
-Will Scott and Richmond continue their benefits?
-Will the ladies and the boss last through the end of the last season?
-Will Stonebridge and Scott continue their bromance?
-Will there be a video game?  A movie?

Actually, we hope that the guys (and gals) have other projects to keep fans going.

We'll be here for Philip and maybe for a few of his cast mates.  We have his "Undrafted" project coming out, hopefully next year, with the hope to hear about more projects.  Sully has a big film, the sequel to "300", which we will be in line for next spring.  So the guys and gals are probably going to be very busy this season.

Thanks to @iamandaleigh for finding this jewel on Pinterest.  We need more portraits like this to share with fans.

Ask Philip and Sully a Question

This week is the finale for the 3rd Cinemax season of Strike Back in the U.S.  It has come too soon!  There are too many questions to be answered to finish the series.

To celebrate the last episode, HBO/Cinemax have announced a live Q & A for both Sullivan and Philip.  You can ask the questions and vote for the ones you want to have answered.

You have one more day left to ask questions.

We have posted a few questions and hope to get more questions for Philip.  There are some really good questions.

Here are some pictures from last week's episode, which was a whirlwind of action:

Wounded Warrior Carry Forward Awards

Philip and wife, Megan, attended an awards ceremony last night in L.A. for the Wounded Warrior Project, Carry Forward Awards, which recognizes people who help wounded service people.  HBO is one of their sponsors. 

Pictures from Zimbio.com

There are only two more episodes of Strike Back.  To see what happened last week, go to our forum or Tumblr.  Let's just say we saw more of Philip than possibly allowed :).  Oh, and NSFW. 

SIckness and Skin (NSFW)

Last week, Stonebridge and Scott wound up in a Russian prison to get in touch with a hacker.
 

 

But getting into the prison was, um, well, look below.  

The assignment was to stop the hacker and get him out.  They ran into a little distraction, as in their cell mate.  But he was a huge help in getting the guys out.

 

A tender moment between the guys in their cell. 

 
Scott tells Stonebridge that he has a child.  He also tells Stonebridge about the problem that is affecting Stonebridge's mind and body.  Two episodes ago, it seems like Mikey was getting a hold of the affects of the infection.  He was able to perform his duty to save their commander.  But in prison, Mikey realizes that his problem was not just going to go away. 

The scene in the prison cell is a poignant moment but Stonebridge takes it in stride:

So while the guys are in prison, the girls have to get the business done outside:

At the end of the episode, Scott and Stonebridge wind up separated.  Scott winds up with a Russian spy:

While Stonebridge follows an ambulance to where the hacker is being taken.  Little does he know that he's going to be part of something really ugly:

 

 

Watch tonight on Cinemax to see if Stonebridge gets out and gets healed, or will we have to wait another week?!

Thanks to Cinemax, sbsection20, and another owner we cannot find.

Stonebrige and Martinez

Since the first episode of this season, the character Kim Martinez has been flirting with Michael Stonebridge:

Last week, Martinez really put the moves on Stonebridge:

This week, Martinez follows up on the date:

Aside from having to get their superior back from being kidnapped, Stonebridge and Martinez have their own fun arc to deal with in the story.

Where will it go?  Will Martinez last through the season?  Will Stonebridge be able to work with his physical problems?

Look to Strike Back tonight on Cinemax.

And happy birthday to one of our site owners.  Strike Back and birthday, what a way to celebrate!

Thanks to Cinemax and Access Hollywood.

The page also explains more about the film:

When a star college baseball player is hit with the sobering news that he hasn't been drafted, a meaningless intramural baseball game with his wacky teammates turns into the most important game of his life.

So we'll be looking forward to some new pictures and information about the film in the future.

New Episode and new interview

Looking forward to a new episode this week with pictures from Buzzfocus and Cinemax

Before you watch the new episode, listen to a new interview, thanks to Tomboys. 
Click the link to listen to some interesting tidbits.

Favorite actors include Benedict Cumberbatch who he studied with in drama school.
And he is working on a new project in L.A.  Hope to hear more about this new project.  

Meeting the Bad Guy and Repeat!

Last week was episode 3 from the new season and this week was a skipped weekend, mainly because of the U.S. holiday of Labor Day.  No new episode, but you can watch either repeats on Cinemax or catch up on other cable networks all over the world. 

So what happened last week?

The guys meet the baddie.

First, Stonebridge (Philip) has a conversation with Larraby (played by the wonderful actor, Dougray Scott). 

 

Of course things do not go well and the fighting begins.  

This episode's Stonebridge quote of the week comes from a conversation with an ally's daughter.

All we could think of was the video "Bad Boys":

Or this one, "Wham, bam, I am a man, job or no job, you can't tell me that I'm not," from "Wham Rap".

Sorry for the cheesy vids, but once upon a time, they were hot.

Going back to the first episode, Cinemax has posted clips from the episodes.  Of course, this is our favorite: 

The smirk is priceless.  We don't get to many smiles in such a heavy, dramatic series.  We can't wait to see Stonebridge and Martinez in action. 

Until next week!

In Columbia, Bank Robbing

Whew!  Season 3 does not disappoint.  Episode 2 gives us more bang for the buck and bank for the buck, pun intended.

Pictures from here

Mike and Damien try to rob a bank and the fun and action ensues.  Jokes, a heart attack, and a great loss happens during the robbery.  

It was fun to watch Philip jump over desks and other obstacles.  It shows how intense the training is for this show and how well he acclimates to the task at hand.  Thanks goodness for such a great actor like this.

Third Season's a Charm!

Yes, we're back.  Sorry for the long hiatus.  College, work, life, but it is slowing down just in time to get to the third Cinemax season of "Strike Back" (fourth season for the series but the third for Cinemax, if you want to get technical).  And boy, was that a great season opener!  You couldn't have asked for more...except for more time with the special opps Section 20!


You can read reviews all over the place.  We won't post such spoilers here because that is not what we are about. 

But we can post some pictures and videos to let you see some of the buzz that has been around just for the first episode!
