[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] It was all wrong. The Billy-Dee-William's son (nice one Scott) story would, traditionally, have played out like this:- 1. Billy proposes, Dee accepts. 2. She meets with Apollo to let him down gently. 3. Billy sees them and gets wrong end of stick. 4. Situation gets worse when Apollo is shot and Dee is even more upset. 5. However, Billy standing up to the crooks reminds Dee of why she prefers Billy to Apollo. 6. Billy killed, Dee heartbroken. Clich�? Maybe. But I didn't see Billy's death coming, didn't register any foreshadowing at all. And I'm usually really good at it. "This is my last mission, then my tour is over." Dead! "Here's a picture of my fianc�e, we're going to get married after the war." Dead! (all hail Steve Punt & Hugh Dennis) They've known about the possibility of the Billy-actor's leaving for a while now, they could have just continued developing the relationship between him and Dee until his sad death. Instead they've hurriedly shoehorned this bizarre attraction between her and Apollo into the mix, to the frankly strange point where one week Apollo's telling her she's not interested and she's promptly back canoodling with Billy, to the next where she's brutally turning down his inept proposal and is off swanning around on [i]Cloud 9[/i] with Apollo! It makes less sense than the Chewbacca Defense! Then you have the further Starbuckian weirdness. Told to do a recce, she immediately hides not one but TWO guns in about the most obvious place possible and tries to do a John Woo. Overall I'm with Kazey, no way did this ep represent any return to form. [/QB][/QUOTE]
