Yay! *Clap Hands*

I was never allowed to watch the A-Team. (I had to go to bed at 7:30 in those days, after only half an hour of the Love Boat.) But I am familiar with the macho essence and even if I didn't know the characters, I loved this. From Charlie's magical binoculars to everyone's glistening bodies, it had the feel of 1980s show. I could also almost hear a cheesy soundtrack, drowning on Desmond's Mozart.

I had to laugh about Charlie pointing out Sayid's expertise with the gun. Of course, he is most awesome. We know Sawyer has handled guns, and sometimes poorly, but I've always wondered if Jack had any previous experience. I've had a fic idea for a while that goes into Juliet and Jack each learning to shoot.

Thanks for fleshing out that icon's story!

Thank you! I had seen it a couple of times back when I still didn't have an idea and then I saw some re-runs this summer. It was kind of too good to let it go! Good that it had the feeling of the 80s show because I was aiming for it even if I grew up with early 90s shows, kinda sadly because the 80s ones were better. The characters, you only need to know that Hannibal was the mastermind behind the whole thing, Face was a very pretty con man and Murdoch a half crazy guy who flew the helicopters or stuff like that ;) then there was an amazing mechanical who was a mix up between Hurley and Eko but it was convenient to keep it at three.

I've had a fic idea for a while that goes into Juliet and Jack each learning to shoot.

Sounds great! If you do it I'd read it very willingly ;) and Sayid > everyone. Especially in guns matters.

Very much welcome, glad you liked it! ♥

This was great! Sawyer is totally Face! In fact, I wanted Dirk Benedict to play his dad, if we ever get to see him! (Him or Perry King, if you know who that is.) Loved it!

[haldoor]

Oh, good casting - either one! ;-)

[janie_tangerine]

Thank you so much, glad you liked it! ♥ And isn't he just Face? It was too perfect not to do it. Dirk Benedict would play an awesome mr Ford! I had to google Perry King since I didn't know who he was (and I can safely say that they never aired Riptide in here), but he looks pretty good, too! ;)

[haldoor]

So true! They are the fucking A-Team! Ha! Who's Mr T though? Excellent work! ;-)

[janie_tangerine]

Aren't they just? ;) Uhm, I'd safely say that Sayid can be a mix-up of Hannibal and Mr T, though if we get into size issues that should be Hurley ;) maybe Sayid can give him lessons!

Thank, very glad you liked it!

This has made me remember my childhood, when I used to watch re-runs on TV. I had to look the names on the Internet because, who knows why, in the Spanish version Face is called Fénix -Phoenix- and B.A. is M.A.
Anyway, it was a very funny fic to read. They're so lovely~ ♥

[janie_tangerine]

The A-Team was the awesome! And here the same exact thing has happened, but Face was named Sberla which means slap, go figure ;) at least they left the others as they were.

Thank you, glad you liked it! ♥

Oh that's just fantastic!! I loved the A-Team as a kid, in fact I think my dad would go so far as to say I was totally obsessed ;) I have a sudden urge to read crack fic now of those three doing A-Team style jobs :)

[janie_tangerine]

Don't tell me that! I've been wanting to write an AU where Jack, Sawyer, Locke and Sayid are the actual A-Team for months but I know it'd get way out of hand and I can't do another huge thing right now! ;) though that'd be too good. And the A-Team was a totally awesome show ♥ thanks, glad you liked it!

[siluria]

Oh don't tell me you're going to make me beg?!?!? It's not a pretty sight.... but I will!! ;)

[janie_tangerine]

Weeeelll... when I finish that current Jack/Sawyer sorta epic I'm working on right now I could so give it a try. I've been tempted for far too long but I know my limits and two WIPs would end in not finishing either ;) but no, don't beg. My ego is low on temptation on his own, there's no need for it! ;)
