I do love to see our troll detectors in action. Way to go guys
: As am I. They don't survive in mine or Cjay's
: presence. Cjay... this one is yours.
:
: Oh and by the way Son... This is a site and
: message board dedicated to and excellent
: show and a fine cast and crew. Keep
: knocking our advisors and the creators and
: cast of ToD and you will run into some
: serious trouble. I won't be sending you up
: no tree... I'll hang you from it.

: Wow, Cjay, is that your legendary
: troll-detection nose in action? I actually
: enjoyed taking the time to make that
: character casualty list, too. Is that
: scary? LOL
:
: George: We know criticism can come from
: enthusiasm for the show and the subject
: matter (such as the "goofs" on
: IMDb), but past a certain point, what can we
: say. It's bad juju. Just from the name of
: this site: we're fans, not critics.
:
: (Granted, sometimes we scratch our heads
: over the love stories in Season Two, the
: transformation to a SOG unit in Season
: Three, and other TV conventions, but that's
: another story for another day... )
:
: The timeline issue has been addressed
: before, and here is an article from the HUM
: 90 site, with comments from Lee Russell, an
: advisor to the show:
: http://www.hum90.com/timeline.htm
:
: Fine points on whether the show is
: historically accurate or internally
: consistent are very interesting and we do
: talk about it, but the bottom line is we
: enjoy this show and we support the people
: who worked very hard to bring it to us.
: There is no question or inaccuracy about
: that.
:
: Also, Cjay is hell on trolls. LOL

: Thanks for the info, cjay. I wont bother
: answering the vague generalizations he made

: You seem to have an awful lot of problems
: with
: Tour of Duty. Why do you watch it and obsess
: about and come on the board and continually
: slam it????
: We all love it and will give you a real beat
: down if you continue to slam our fave show.
: This isn't the first time this
: "troll" has made disparaging
: remarks about TOD!

: Did anyone else catch the fact that these
: guys
: stayed in Vietnam nearly 2 years. The show
: starts in 1967 and concludes in late 1969.
: Too long for the Tours of Duty for Ruiz and
: Purcell.
: Even with the 3 month extension for the
: instant out, it just does not add up.
:
: The final season really burned up the time.
: Single episodes were spanning weeks. What
: were the writers thinking?!
:
: This was alot like the same problem that
: faced the old "Combat" or
: "MASH" series. To make a story
: interesting, it would cover weeks in a
: single episode. Evidently the writers had
: forgotten that only a finite number of those
: weeks historically existed.
: "MASH" especially
: was terrible for this -- they actually
: turned back the clock a number of times --
: 1952 in
: season 2, but 1951 in season 5. Continuity
: error city!
