Changed the name of this thread as we were very upset with the ending of series 3 out in Bangladesh! Waiting out for news of series 4 and hoping it might not be long now. In the meantime, we are reviewing the seven series of Soldier Soldier.

Must be such a pain wearing all that gear all the time. Me thinks the Yank doctor likes what he sees.

Mimi sounds just like Molly. Georgie talks the talk but she certainly doesn't do what she says.

Ilovelblue · 02/04/2020 21:21

Totally agree eejit - Elvis was a one off!

Georgie likes to tell Lt Hurst what to do. It's a bit cringeworthy listening to her. He tries to put her down but doesn't quite seem to have the sufficient authority to stop her in her tracks.

Here we go, Georgie arguing, answering back and telling the officer what to do again. You tell her...Oliver!

Delphin · 02/04/2020 21:22

Hurst needs to stop her talking before she gets really going, or he'll lose his authority...

Delphin · 02/04/2020 21:24

Insalubrious dives - - I must try to remember that.

Rhubarb01 · 02/04/2020 21:24

Flirty eyes there and a bit of banter. There's definitely hope and maybe some light at the end of the tunnel.

eejittwo · 02/04/2020 21:24

But then Monk has become a father. There's only Monk and Fingers left - no Brains either, and I miss the banter between Rab and Maisie. And the stuff with Fingers and Marie shows how Elvis didn't have to die to leave the show.

Ilovelblue · 02/04/2020 21:25

NOt sure I get the relevance of the endurance run apart from the fact it shows Prof in a very good light at the end.

What rank is Dr Antonio?

OP posts:
Delphin · 02/04/2020 21:26

I think it's normal that soldiers get orders for other platoons or even regiments, isn't it?

Delphin · 02/04/2020 21:27

Dr Antonio is a Captain, I believe. Two bars.

eejittwo · 02/04/2020 21:27

Having reached the hershey's scene - won't the chocolate melt in their pockets?

Rhubarb01 · 02/04/2020 21:27

I think the race shows that Prof is tough, dedicated, dependable and steady - a bonkers race though.

More flirtatious glances and one liners. Yes, liking this new addition.

Rhubarb01 · 02/04/2020 21:28

I always laugh when I see trucks like that. Remembering the Sohail moment and when one of the trucks almost rammed into the back of the one in front.

Rhubarb01 · 02/04/2020 21:30

As soo as there is trouble, Georgie wades in, she just can't help herself. I think Mimi's well-meaning actions may backfire on her too.

Delphin · 02/04/2020 21:31

Hehe, Fingers tucking into the local food and Throbber sniffing it doubtfully.

Ilovelblue · 02/04/2020 21:31

That local food looks disgusting. No wonder Throbber is pulling a face. Fingers of course looks as if he'll eat anything.

Why on earth has Fingers not been promoted. He seems a solid, reliable soldier. He should at least be a Lance Corporal, if not Corporal. And here we have Georgie as a Sergeant.

Rhubarb01 · 02/04/2020 21:32

It's interesting that the story has come full circle. Georgie is questioning what they ever did in Afghanistan to change anything. There were lots of questions in series 1 about the meaning of their actions and it really comes home to roost here.

Rhubarb01 · 02/04/2020 21:34

The Ops room again. Here she goes - tell 'em what to do Georgie. I like the way Kingy interrupts her.

Delphin · 02/04/2020 21:34

True, @Rhubarb01

Rhubarb01 · 02/04/2020 21:35

Kingy sounds like CJ in series 1 when he talks about the bigger picture.

Rhubarb01 · 02/04/2020 21:37

Prof wins the race - the tortoise beats the hare!

Ilovelblue · 02/04/2020 21:37

Lt Hurst has got Georgie sussed.

I do like KIngy's barbed comment that the rank and file take orders whilst the officers interrogate them. Methinks he's not too keen on Lt Hurst.

Remember Fingers commandeering Peanut's abandoned bowl in Kabul, when Elvis summoned him for the briefing about Omar>

Rhubarb01 · 02/04/2020 21:38

Just worked out that Georgie doesn't take orders she doesn't like - quick on the uptake that Rupert!
