This is probably one of the longest answers ;o)

Day 13 - Favourite friendship?

In case it’s not been completely obvious from the start - aw, heck, even if it’s completely obvious, I don’t care - Newkirk and LeBeau. Why, you ask? Well.
( How do I begin with these two? )

I forgot to post the answer to question n.12 yesterday!! Catching up now, then :o)

Day 12 - Least favourite casting/a casting you thought could have been improved with [insert name here]?I can’t offer any alternative, but as a Frenchwoman, I’m not a fan of all the times a French character was played by an actor/actress who wasn’t, especially when ( Read more... )

Day 11 - Favourite actress?

I saw The Blues Brothers way before I saw Hogan’s Heroes, but when I finally made the connection and realised that Frau Linkmeyer was a scary nun in Chicago, I laughed my head off. Kathleen Freeman is the only recurring actress who isn’t conventionally pretty, and is there to play the shrewish, small-minded harpy, who ( Read more... )

Day 10 - Favourite actor?

Werner Klemperer, hands down :o) Honestly, it’s no wonder the man won prizes for his interpretation of Klink.

Colonel Klink is a snivelling, vain, petty man with an odd mix of delusions of grandeur and a desire to be just left in peace whether the war continues or not. On a meta level, you know he’s doomed to fail again ( Read more... )

(I’ll probably be a little late tomorrow, as I’m out of town for a couple of days - I'm going to Bordeaux to see a concert of One Night of Queen tonight!! In the meantime, more friendship feels :o)

Day 9 - Favourite scene?Sergeant Andrew Carter is a very talented chemist and bomb-maker and scarily good at impersonation, but he’s also generally ( Read more... )

Long post behind the cut :o)

Day 8 - Favourite episode?

“Klink vs. the Gonculator”. Everything about this episode is fantastic.
( What's a )

There's a lot of great one-liners and ping-pong banter in this show, but this is my favourite!

Day 7 - Favourite quote (recurring or not)?

I know it’s dialogue more than just a quote, but it sums up a lot of the dynamics in Hogan’s Heroes. For the context, Newkirk and LeBeau have gone on a dangerous mission:

Hogan: Kinch, all that matters is ( Read more... )

I’m sorry this is so short :-/

Day 6 - Character you think is misunderstood in fandom/misinterpreted?

I don’t think Felix the mouse from “Operation Briefcase” is real (but I bet Carter wishes he was). Other than that, frankly, I’m stumped.

It’s a good thing I wrote these entries in advance - otherwise I’d never have time to elaborate :o)

Day 5 - Favourite villain/antagonist?

When it comes to killer one-liners and characters snarking at each other, Hogan’s Heroes always delivers; since Hogan and the boys are usually ahead of Schultz and Klink in term of banter and/or awareness of ( Read more... )

For this one the cut is really justified, because the answer’s loooooooong :o)

Day 4 - Favourite supporting character, female?I hesitated a long time, because while there aren’t many main female characters, there are plenty of one-episode wonders, so to speak, and some of them are quite memorable. Lady Leslie Chitterly is crazy awesome (she ( Read more... )
