Season 3 may be gone, but it will never die. It will live on, in our hearts.
Australia and Baywatch have a deal. They can make as many references to there and even steal its inhabitants, but they may never go there. Ever.
I think PhoeMe taught Stephanie about feminism.
He was an Australian ninja! Now he can make 5 Ninja movies, and only star in 4 of them.
Mitch is becoming more of a memetic badass every episode. Beat up a guy trying to kill a kid while paralyzed, defeated a kick boxing champion, and now survived a murder attempt AND saved himself while he was on fire.
Hey, real question. Is Batwatch an hour long episode format, or half hour?
Thanks. It’s just some plots seem either too long to be half an hour and some seem too short to be an hour. Don’t know if that’s just you summing up a 10 minute scene in 20 seconds or this show is that bad.
I always condense two-part episodes into one, so some of the longer ones are actually two episodes. Other times, it just depends on what the episode provides. For instance, the Gilligan’s Island one has a ton to talk about, but generic episodes like The Big Race just aren’t as interesting. I try to make them as long as they need to be, and brevity usually serves it better.
I remember they eventually filmed down here… of course, they picked a beach in one of the richest suburbs in Sydney, so the posh locals wanted to chase them back on the plane immediately.
Gotta give the show some points for subtlety; at least his gratuitous Akubra hasn’t got the dangling corks.
Well, this is American T.V… so if the accent sounds like a bastard mix of Cockney and South African, the character’s meant to be Australian. Check the name, also – if it’s Bruce, or something Croc Dundee-esque like Mick Brumby (JAG weren’t even trying with that one) then you’ve got yourself a fake Aussie.
How come every Ozzie on the show is either an ass or a murderer? Does David have some sort of real life dislike of them? It so easy to believe that considering how much they stressed him being Australian.
When Mitch’s lifeguard truck goes off the cliff, it switches to an older standard cab model instead of the crew cab version he was shown leaping out of. SEAMLESS!
As much as I love the melodramatic stuff like Shattered, Baywatch fails so much harder on their murder mystery plots, hot damn that was a contrived plot. Nice catch on the didgeridoo sound too!

Character subtlety. Truly one of Baywatch’s greatest strengths

Baywatch is an hour long program.

What? Then how will we know if he’s Australian.

As Mitch was falling into the water while he was being burnt, I would have busted a gut if he had just said “Myyyyyyy savvvvvveeee” in slow motion. 😛
His wife was named Sheila…nice

Crikey!

Oh, yeah. Nothing at all poisonous about that Western Diamonback rattlesnake.
Now, venomous, on the other hand…
As of season 4, there are three scenes of someone lassoing an animal. GROUNDBREAKING!
