OK, biggest handwave of the series so far; it seems somewhat unlikely at the end that our heroes have turned the bad guys into the police, given the top-secret nature of the formula. Therefore, the police still suspect Steed of having killed the stewardess, and probably the spy who tried to break in...

Wow, amazing how things pick up with our first Cathy episode! Much better plotting and pace to this one. Nice to see a disposable character who actually has a clue, even if he meets a redshirt’s fate anyway. The bits between Steed and the consulate secretary are hilarious, and the repartee between h...

Probably the worst episode I’ve seen so far. Rollason really seems to be mailing it in here. As others have pointed out, the assassin seems really confident of his ability to shoot people in crowded rooms during broad daylight and get away with it. Mark, the traitor guy, seems way too mean to actual...

1. Got to love the copilot smoking a pipe during flight. That’s something you wouldn’t see anymore. 2. The painted backdrops used for the airport and the convent are really cheesy, particularly the latter. 3. I knew that Vincent was playing dumb from the beginning, but I didn’t think that he was act...

I think this is the best of the King episodes; better production values than Dead on Course and better story than The Sell-out. Jon Rollason seems to be more into to this one than the other two as well. The hyper actress is convincingly played and the way you find out about the double agent is effec...

OK, this, so far, is the episode where I had the most trouble understanding what the heck people were saying, particularly Moxon and Nature Boy. (Nature Boy?). It doesn’t help that Hendry’s tendency to mumble really asserts itself in this episode. Interesting things about this episode: 1. The Deacon...

I have to take a few more points off than most, because the central subterfuge of the plot just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me when I think about it. We know that the circus folk have already committed to pretending that Katrina’s just injured and is taking the night off; they’ve already got the ...

Yep, that all sounds pretty accurate to me. I do think that Steed warms up a lot during Seasons 2/3, though - he's more acerbic than in later seasons, and has a harder edge, but his relationship with Cathy develops beautifully and with great affection. I think you sometimes have to look past what h...

Sadly incomplete, of course, and therefore difficult to reach a meaningful judgment about, but Hendry and Catherine Woodville do portray a young couple madly in love very convincingly, and the shooting scene is suitably suspenseful. The entire scene with Spicer trying to retrieve the package and con...

Well, so far I have seen: --The two-and-one-third Keel episodes. --All three of the King episodes. --Four Cathy Gale stories. --One Venus Smith episode. My first impressions: 1. Good Lord, they smoked a lot in those days! My favorite example is in “Girl on the Trapeze”: when Keel is locked up in the...
