Here's one...

What's next in this sequence?

Captain, Corporal, Major, Private, General, ?

 

[TheEdge]

Sergeant?

 

[DaleCooper]

Sergeant?

No it's not Sergeant. Don't forget this is a sequence, the order is not random.

 

[TheEdge]

Recruit?

 

[DaleCooper]

Recruit?

I see what you've done there but it isn't recruit, it's a lot more devious than that.

 

[fowler9]

Lieutenant-Colonel?

 

[DaleCooper]

Lieutenant-Colonel?

Not Lieutenant-Colonel either, there is a military connection but the missing item rather bucks the trend.

Got me stumped, I work with the military so I felt ashamed not getting it right away. Ha ha.

 

[Cowley]

Rear Admiral?

 

[ComUtoR]

Duke ?

Is it someone's Military rank history ?

 

[DaleCooper]

I think I may have made this too difficult so here's some help.

The five given items are the first words of well known phrases however the missing item is a single word. I'll give you the first one.

Captain Cook
Corporal ...
Major ...
Private ...
General ...
?

They are in chronological order.

 

[TheEdge]

Goodbyeee

 

[DaleCooper]

Goodbyeee

Don't go it's just getting interesting.

You are, of course, correct with "Goodbyeee" the final episode of Blackadder Goes Forth.

Was the last hint a bit of a giveaway? Anyway it's your turn...

 

[TheEdge]

As soon as you put Captain Cook it just punched me in the face.

Keeping it in the family.

What reasons led to the iconic final scene of Goodbyeee coming into being?
