Thanks for presenting this positive image of season seven, Erik.  As much as I am enjoying season six now, I will not accept Thomas' comments about the collapse of the series in season seven.  For most of us, I believe, the series as been like an escelator, rising one level on the maturity ladder for each season.  With season six it has now gotten so good that I'm almost willing to forget about the W&B junk they served us in the beginning.  I only hope it will maintain this level of quality as long as possible.   John --- On Fri, 7/3/09, Erik E Miller <erikemiller@...> wrote: From: Erik E Miller <erikemiller@...> Subject: [Mission_Impossible_1966] Re: MISSION Season 6 DVD review, Part 2 To: Mission_Impossible_1966@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, July 3, 2009, 11:50 PM One of the best treats of season seven is the character of Mimi played by Barbara Anderson. An ex-con and parolee who joins the IMF in Casey's absence, Mimi is 180 different from the demure character of Officer Eve Whitfield that she portrayed on "Ironside." She makes for a great tough street-wise character --- In Mission_Impossible_1966@yahoogroups.com, "John K.

The Cold War classic phase episodes (years 1-4) have more of a timeless look about them, but the theme of the Cold War is certainly dated in a world without the USSR. > > During the domestic crime phase episodes, (years 6-7) the leisure suits, wide ties and lapels visually date the episode, but the overall theme of corruption is just as relevant today as it was in 1971. > > --- In Mission_Impossible_1966@yahoogroups.com, "John K.

When I first got into Mission: Impossible I didn't care for that episode. It didn't have enough action for me. But now that I am older and more plot and character oriented in my approach I can see just how great an episode like "Blind" is. [No pun intended.] It's subtle but don't let that fool you because it just brilliant. > > > > > > > > > > > "Blind" is central in the leaning taken by season 6. > > I develop a political-economical perspective from "Blind" > > that explains the whole season. > > "Blind" is also the first realistic shocker. > > ***IMF Out*** > > > > Thomas > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------ > > > > Yahoo!
