A-Team ad infinitum

[dreamer_easy]

I still can't believe this show was made in the eighties. Last ep had a dash of environmentalism, with Hannibal explaining to Amy that nature can't replenish itself if you take too much. This ep? Labor Pains, in which Hannibal has a group of Grapes of Wrath types organise themselves into a union. It's not like they're whipping out Das Kapital or anything, but this pinko greeno stuff in between the gun and fist battles surprises heck out of me.

I remember one with Murdoch leading a tramp army for some reason. I suppose if you were going to do a socialist reading of A-Team, a lot of the bad guys tend to be big capitalist types oppressing small businesses (peasants?).

Perhaps America is a surprisingly liberal country under all the jingoistic posturing, after all?
