I agree with Blackrazor.
The more I read, the less stock I put in the idea that Mr. Hama had ANY CLUE about what the heck was going on within his continuity. He was throwing stories together and just adding in new characters whenever Hasbro told him to. After my email exchanges with him, I have come to firmly believe that this thread has put far more thought and research effort into the Joe continuity than Mr. Hama ever didn.

For those who can access Hulu.com, Ultimate Force has been added.
Ultimate Force - Full Episodes and Clips streaming online for free - Hulu You'll notice a change between season 2 and season 3. There's a big cast turnover and the production budget gets smaller. The seasons are short so it won't take long to go through the whole series.

At Joecon, I chatted with Hama a bit.
He never has any idea about where a story is going when he starts. He lets the characters write themselves. When he did #21, he had no clue about the backstory. He just thought it would be cool for SE and SS to share the same tattoo. At the time he had no clue what it meant. That developed as he went along.

Btw, anyone here have the Military Channel? It's part of the Discovery Channel family. It's good for getting ideas for Joes, or just watching the history of our military forces. |

Guys, I watched the first 2 seasons of Ultimate Force; I can't stop. It's like Crack. This may be one of the best shows ever. It's fantastic. It's easily the best BBC show of all time, including Doctor Who.
I haven't been this excited about television in a long time. If "The UNIT" had been half as good as "Ultimate Force", it would still be on the air. Here's the problem. "The Unit" had a good title, but the show had a lot of stupid crap. "Ultimate Force" has a silly title, but the show is pure awesome. Here's a lesson for American television producers: make the show awesome and quit worrying about the title. Now back to more "Ultimate Force".

Exactly Oliver, can you imagine if Ultimate Force had the same budget as The Unit? The quality does drop between Seasons 1 & 2 and Seasons 3 & 4. Many of the production crew and writers were replaced.

As it's got Ross Kemp (Eastenders soap opera star) in it, I've not been able to bring myself to watch it, though I suppose if I can get over that, from your comments it sounds like it might be ok ;)

After watching UF, it's hard for me to imagine Ross Kemp as a Soap Opera start. His character, Sgt. Henno Garvie, is a stone cold killer.
He's like Michael Chicklass with a British accent.

I'll have to have a look - the all-series box-set retails for iirc ~£10 on Amazon, which is only 3 pints of beer, so I could take a gamble and get it I suppose
As an aside, are there any South African members of the GI Joe team? |
