I Love This Jazz

I love this Jazz

Amy Amanda Allen
Hannibal: What’s your full name, kid?
Amy: Amy Amanda Allen.
Hannibal: Triple “A”, huh?
Amy: Sounds like somebody who belongs on a unit called The A-Team.
Amy: BA was telling me about the Jazz and I think I caught the fever.
What can I say about Amy Allen? She’s amazing. She started out as just another client but the thrill of the job got to her and she couldn’t stay away. I know a lot of A-Team fans don’t consider her (or Tawnia and Frankie) to be part of the team, but I do. I think the show was better when she was around and she had so much untapped potential as a character. The guys would be dead if not for her. She deserves some credit for that.
From the moment we see her, we know her as a strong willed person. When she believes in something she sticks to it. She’s loyal to her friends. In the first episode she gets suspended from her job for trying to find her friend, Al Massey, but that doesn’t discourage her at all. She keeps going. She pursues and hires the A-Team. When they want to leave her behind to do the jobs themselves, she withholds their pay until they let her come. When she decides she wants to be a part of the team she gets herself on the team and she more than earns her stay.
Amy was never a damsel in distress. She never got herself kidnapped. Just the opposite in fact, the guys constantly got caught by the military and she, along with Murdock, had to rescue them. The one time she was in real danger, she saved herself and ran off the bad guys before the rest of the team could get to her. That’s right. She’s that awesome.
Just look at that defiant face. You don’t mess with this woman. This is where the story of Amy begins but not where it ends.
