The Best Strike Back Episode Yet, Countdown to The Player

Hello Philip Fans!

This week we just got to view epsisode 6 in the last season of Strike Back.  To get us ready for the episode, Philip tweeted:

@philipwinchestr
It's ‪#‎Strikeback‬ day! This ep is a corker. Thanks for riding the off weekend. Half way there. Ep 6 then a @michaeljbassett 4 ep run! AV IT!

It's pretty cool that he keeps up with the fans and keeps us interested in the work he does.  We are honored to have him follow us at @fansofphilip.

As many viewers of the episode have stated, this was Philip's episode.  He shined as Stonebridge and showed how far of a talent his acting reaches.  His delivery in the interogation scene is absolutely amazing!  He goes from comical to serious drama without losing a step.

Yes, we are biased, but that is why we are his fans.  He delivers exceptional work.

Here's is a video of the beginning of that scene.  It is hillarious.  But it turns dramatic and tense after this.

You have to feel for Damien.  In this scene, Stonebridge is trying to make the N. Koreans look like fools, but it seems Damien feels that his partner has gone nuts, at the expense of Damien's son.  Luckily, that wasn't the case and what Stonebridge did, helped them escape their from their captures.

Towards the end of the episode, we get a glimpse of what could or might have been...a nice send off to Martinez with Stonebridge.  As fans, we had been waiting for something special between the two, but we were not granted that wish.  We hope that they both hook up afterwards, somehow, somewhere...

Or Milauna Jackson shows up on The Player.

It seems that Strike Back alumns are showing up one at a time on The Player  The latest was Will Yun Lee tweeted:

Philip and Will did a little tweet back at each other:
 

@WillYunLee Sep 11

@philipwinchestr

@WillYunLee handing out acting lessons tonight all while kicking some sec 20 ass. Miss you mate. Good to see you on @NBCThePlayer

@WillYunLee Sep 11

Will Yun Lee retweeted Philip Winchester

Thx 4 letting me come play my brutha @philipwinchestr ! #StrikeBack @NBCThePlayer

Will Yun Lee plays Michelle Yeoh's love interest in Strike Back.  

So there you have it--Strike Back actors showing up on one of the two show this month.  Let's hope to see more of them.

It seems they are still filming The Player around L.A.  A tweet went out with this photo:

 @DonnellyWood

The Player has been all over the place with promos.  

During games today, there were a bunch showing up as seen by the tweets of newly interested parties.  The Player and Heroes have a new promo together.  We think that NBC is trying to keep parties interested after Heroes.  Let's hope that people will love the action that Strike Back brought to the table.  

Another thing for fans in the UK-Crusoe, Philip's first TV show, is playing on the Drama channel every Sunday.  Until we know when The Player is going to be broadcasted in the UK and Europe, fans can watch Crusoe for the next 12 weeks.  Lucky fans!  

Join us for Friday night Strike Back nights this coming weekend, and Strike Back Trivia and fan comments at @FansofPhilip on Twitter, and don't forget to join us on Facebook at Fans of Philp Winchester.

Strike Back/The Player Going Head to Head

Written 08/09/15

Wow!  Our group has been super busy!  Sorry for the lack of information.  Sometimes it is just easier to retweet, repost, or cut and paste, than it is to write about all the wonderful and awesome things that are happening in Philip's professional life right now.

We were at one point finishing the UK's viewing of Strike Back season 5, starting US/Canada/Asia viewing of season 4/5, and filming the new show, The Player, all in one week!  It was not easy, but we kept up with a good portion of the news.

There are a ton of articles, pictures, videos, and some extra news.

First- we will attempt to blog at least once a week to keep up with everything.

Second-we keep on track on FB and Twitter.  So follow us there to get up to the minute information.

Third-play Strike Back Trivia on Friday nights with us on Twitter.  We play before or around the first showing of Strike Back in the West.

Fourth-probably the most exciting information-Philip now has an official Twitter account and FB account.  We are just as excited as he or his people have been posting pictures from The Player and Strike Back.  His twitter account just passed our Twitter account for number of followers.  We cannot wait to see where this goes when The Player start broadcasting.

Fifth-even though Philip has his own accounts, we will still be here to communicate and connect with fans.  Just because he has his accounts, does not mean it is the end of us.  We have been around for a while, and we enjoy talking about Philip and his work.  As long as he works, we will be talking about him.

Sixth-Happy Birthdays to Rhona Mitra and Milauna Jackson!

Seventh-we will start promoting The Player more heavily in September, when updated promos are released.

Aside from this blog on a weekly basis, we will be working on the forum, where fans can find archives of all stuff we post on social media in one place!  We hope to have this started by the time The Player starts.  No promises, but that is the goal we will be working towards.

Thanks for being fans!  We will see you Friday on Twitter or FB, and back here next week, writing about the Strike Back.
