74	--Just joined! I've liked this show since I first saw it on TV, back in the '60's. I have heard mixed reviews about the movie. I guess you can never really ...	sallemoc2000	Dec 27, 2000 8:25 pm
75	Hello,<br><br>I liked the movie, for the most part. My greatest complaint is that you knew who the bad guy was from nearly the beginning, and his plan. I was...	d_steimle	Dec 27, 2000 8:34 pm
76	--The movie reflected the current 'spin' of movies, and not the basic format of the series, which let you (-the viewer), play along in the search for the ...	sallemoc2000	Dec 28, 2000 6:21 am
77	Of course none of the Avengers shows meant anything deep! Even in the spaced out sixties it was wilful escapism. That's what made it such great stuff. And yes,...	doctor_keel	Jan 3, 2001 3:05 am
78	Probably the worst thing about the movie was how drab they made Steed. He was kind of Joe Friday like for the most part.<br><br>Thurman's Emma Peel was pretty...	d_steimle	Jan 4, 2001 5:23 pm
79	I thought the film looked great - the sets and cinematography were pleasing to the eye. Unfortunately it was boring.<br><br>And also, the casting left a bit to...	doctor_keel	Jan 4, 2001 11:54 pm
80	MacNee would be very hard to follow. How about Tim Roth (Four Rooms, Pulp Fiction, Rob Roy). I think he could have pulled off Steed's humour more ...	d_steimle	Jan 5, 2001 2:40 pm
81	I was surfing around dvdexpress.com and they had another Avenger's DVD set from A&E. It is MacNee's picks for the best shows and his commentary. Link below for...	d_steimle	Jan 18, 2001 7:36 pm
82	Greetings all. I've been thinking long and hard about who to cast in my (currently imaginary) new Avengers film. And I've had an idea. Promise you won't laugh?...	doctor_keel	Jan 18, 2001 11:14 pm
83	I think it is just about impossible to replace the original cast as the last attempt proved.But if another attempt is made two possible choices for the leads...	wilphar	Jan 30, 2001 6:26 am
84	Is anyone left awake, or alive?!? A person could grow seriously older waiting for some 'new' discussion in this club. Is everyone all talked out?<br>---Is the...	sallemoc2000	Feb 24, 2001 4:07 am
85	Would you be interested if I offered a personal deconstruction of one of the Avenger episodes? I'd have some fun doing it, but it would take quite a few posts....	countessvlasta	Feb 24, 2001 6:46 am
86	Hi!, I have no idea of what you are talking about, but at least I found that some one else in this club is alive!!!...	sallemoc2000	Feb 24, 2001 10:13 pm
87	This one is from the black and white series. I'll take an opportunity to praise the stills of Mrs. Peel on the title sequence. There are 5 of her in a leather...	countessvlasta	Feb 24, 2001 10:49 pm
88	Being an American, some of the symbolism that is more uniquely British, escapes me. Why are scenes used in many episodes always so deserted? Even in the towns...	sallemoc2000	Feb 25, 2001 3:53 am
89	I personally found it nice to see programme which had one foot in the real world and one foot somewhere else. I'm not English although I am from Britain. For ...	john_steed_superspy john_steed_s...	Feb 25, 2001 9:38 am
90	Deserted scenes?<br><br>I think that's easily explained. The shows were made on a very slender budgetand they came from a set-bound tradition. I believe the ...	countessvlasta	Feb 25, 2001 12:12 pm
91	--You make some good points, and some are taken.<br>Some of the Avenger's England is the stuff that may have held its popularity over here. I guess that I ...	sallemoc2000	Feb 26, 2001 4:25 am
92	Thank you for your detailed perspective. It is funny for me to get a rating as a series intimate. I joined all the Avengers clubs and never contributed, ...	countessvlasta	Feb 26, 2001 11:17 am
93	Death At Bargain Prices II<br><br>After the title there's a brief scene of a busy London street to contrast with the earlier shots.<br><br>We then arrive at a ...	countessvlasta	Feb 26, 2001 9:40 pm
94	... Peel, to achieve the wordwide success? (Aside from Steed, that is) Their 'chemistry' did hold the intent together. She was his equal. Tara was handled as...	sallemoc2000	Feb 27, 2001 5:01 am
95	I think you have to accept things for what they are. I am sure all the different versions of the Avengers have something to offer.<br><br>If people do have ...	countessvlasta	Feb 27, 2001 9:28 am
96	Hello!, Thanks for some background info. I'll have to try looking around for any earlier programs on video here. Now I'm curious to actually see some of the ...	sallemoc2000	Feb 28, 2001 5:31 am
97	Thanks for the post. I am really not well-placed to answer your questions about how the show was received originally. I gather that viewing figures were pretty...	countessvlasta	Feb 28, 2001 8:50 am
98	Hello!, I've been busy with work-related matters. Sorry to leave you hanging. Hope all is well!<br>---I guess because I've passed through the period of cold ...	sallemoc2000	Mar 3, 2001 5:57 am
99	Hello!, I was enjoying our discussions. I hope all is OK with you, and I hope to hear from you soon.<br>TAKE CARE, B.C....	sallemoc2000	Mar 18, 2001 4:37 am
100	So Steed nimbly escapes from the floor manager's eagle eye because he has arranged a meeting with Mrs. Peel.<br><br>Mrs. Peel is found trying on some...	countessvlasta	Mar 18, 2001 10:43 am
101	Hmm, sounds like Death At Bargain Prices to me. Very good description that! :-)<br><br>Mike...	qqf_avengers	Mar 20, 2001 11:08 am
102	Mrs. Peel questions Steed about the murder of Moran. She wants to know why they are at Pinter's. Steed shows her a receipt indicating that it was made out on ...	countessvlasta	Mar 20, 2001 12:16 pm
103	In case the readers of this club haven't already heard, the 1st season Avengers episode entitled "Girl on the Trapeze" may have been rediscovered in the UCLA ...	qqf_avengers	Mar 29, 2001 4:29 am
