[Washburne]

So another remake. What do you think? Something to look forward to?

No idea if it's something to look forward to -- I'd never heard of The Saint before today -- but I'll be likely to give it a watch (assuming that it makes it that far, the remake has had its fair share of trouble along the way) because of Eliza, if nothing else.

Wooo I used to love The Saint 😀 and Eliza well that just confirms me watching it 😀

Huh, I've heard of The Saint but don't know a lot about it. Sounds interesting! Good for Eliza!

The more important question is if Templar will still be driving a Volvo P1800? 😉

For those who don't get the reference, Moore, in the original "Saint" series drove a white P1800 Volvo, like this:

And for those who might be interested, that identical model (mine was a '63) was the original "White Avenger," named for my seldom used D&D character of the same name.
Absolutely the finest automobile that ever put rubber on the road.

And I agree, if there is to be a new "Saint" series, the P1800 is vital to the story, and one reason why the Val Kilmer movie wasn't more of a hit.

I can't say I'm much of a "The Saint" fan but I'm excited to see Eliza in something new, so I'll probably watch just to see her and what she does with her part. 🙂
