Erik, Thanks for such a great analysis and review of this two-parter. I like this story, even if it's a bit slow - it's vintage Mission from the halcyon days...

Glad you enjoyed it Jimmy. That's a great description "vintage Mission from the halcyon days." I suppose that's true. Yes it is very atmospheric even though...
Yes that's a good one from Five –O. It features two low class but frighteningly effective white trash bad guys. I've certainly noticed some crossover of...

I pretty much agree with your views on Season 4, it was a mixed bag but it compares well with the first three season. On the whole, though, Leonard Nimoy just...
I agree that Gitano and The Code are some of Nimoy's best performances. Such a shame he had do give them on such weak episodes. But I don't find his acting...

I noticed that a bit, but it is far closer to the style of seasons 2-3 than season 1 where the scenes from each fusewire passage are connected with each other....
I like the changes with the montage in season 4. I thought it was an interesting change of pace. I noticed a lot more tilts and zooms in the season 4 montages....

Season 7 went: montage, teaser, the credits at the beginning of the tape scene, then the briefing. Unfortunately a lot of local stations cut the teaser in...
When I said credits I meant the montage. Why did Season 7 do that is beyond me, perhaps they wanted to use footage from the teasers in the fuse montage? The...
