Cute. Old People get in on the act.

8.5

By FrakkingFrakker, Apr 10, 2007

This episode is not great A-Team. Though it's easy to look back and see where it evolved from what made good A-Team.

It has a barely there plot, it's there enough to hang repeated action scenes upon it.

It has people utilizing everyday items as weapons, which is what the A-Team used to be about.

Filled with all that nostalgia and lots of interesting side characters, the episode moves at a brisk but mostly eventless pace. The characters we know and love taking a mostly back seat to new and unique individuals, side characters with one episode potential.

So, it wasn't great A-Team, but it was okay Grey Team. Unfortunately, it was the last A-Team episode, so that little distinction becomes rather tragic.moreless

- Murdock: Just think: if we get a pardon, we may never have to eat a knuckle sandwich again!
  B.A.: I wouldn't bet on it crazy man. Looks like Hannibal's on the jazz again!
  Face: Oh no...
  Murdock: (to Hannibal) No, you tell me right now, you tell me right to my face, you tell me that you don't have a plan.
  Hannibal: Well, I...I was thinking, like Bernie and George. What are we gonna do when this thing's over? I mean, what are we really qualified to do?
  Face: Go after thugs in the park…
  Hannibal: And outlaw motorcycle gangs…organized crime figures…why, there's a world of slime-balls out there!
  Murdock: I knew it. I just knew you had a plan.
  Hannibal: Comforting, isn't it?
  B.A.: I'll get the van.
  EDIT SHARE
- Frankie: Oh, great. B.A., if this maniac doesn't kill us, we're all goin' to jail. I bet we don't get to collect $200, either.
  EDIT SHARE
- Nemchek: Those people are so afraid of me, they talk to me as little as possible.
  Bernie: (laughs) Can't say as I blame them.
  EDIT SHARE
- Face: Since when did we go into the stray kid business?
  Stockwell: Since the so-called "stray kid" became a national security risk.
  Frankie: What'd she do -- smuggle some Clearasil out of the country?

NOTES (1)
ADD NOTES
- This was the series finale although another episode aired later, after the network pulled it out of its archives. On Murdock's T-shirt in this episode "Fini" (the French word for "end") is displayed. In the installment shown later, his shirt reads "almost fini".
  EDIT SHARE
ALLUSIONS (2)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Frankie mentions going to jail and collecting $200.
  
  This is an allusion to "Monopoly," a popular American board game where a penalty of jail time is assessed, and a normal collection of $200 is disallowed.
  EDIT SHARE
- Frankie references Clearasil.
  
  Clearasil is a leading over-the-counter acne medication, most frequently used by teenagers like the one Frankie is discussing.
