Kill Straker

My 2 cents. . .
Great episode! I especially enjoyed the moment when
Straker did the "slapping" of Foster. These were
actually "slaps." In fact, if any of you have the
documentary of the series, Anderson made the point
that the first "slap" really took Billington by
suprise, for he didn't think that Bishop was going to
hit him that hard. (Look at the scene again and you'll
see a brief, but very suprised look on Billinton's
face.) From that point the scene really took off and
was very realistic!

It's about time I posted something...

Subsmash and Ordeal still are my favorites, but Kill Straker is good
too. It's hard to watch for me, though, since I once had a
customer/boss who was very much like Ed Straker in mannerisims and
that he was generally disliked by all the people who worked for him.
Unlike Straker, he didn't have much luck in getting things done since
he really p***sed everyone off.

I even think he exercised one of Straker's favorit management tools -
calling the office and saying "Spread the word that I'm coming
in...it gets people hopping". Yeah, hopping mad!!
