    Review STAR COPS: INTELLIGENT LISTENING FOR BEGINNERS - Episode 03

    This episode just blew me away with its predictions of the future. First up, we have a computer hacked remotely making it go haywire. It’s a hackneyed plot device now, but here it was showing up nearly 30 years ago. When Chandri describes the device used to hack the computer he calls it a...

    Review BLAKE'S 7: CYGNUS ALPHA - Episode 03

    This was like the third part of a three-parter setting up the premise of the show. In part one, we meet Blake, part two he gets his ship and two of his team and tonight he gets the rest of his seven (or six, since he’s one of the seven – right?). Of the four other members, I know one stands...

    Review STAR COPS: CONVERSATIONS WITH THE DEAD - Episode 02

    Well, if last week’s motive for murder was cold, this week’s was an iceberg by comparison. More on that later. Again, we open the show with two different storylines. One involves a deep-space cargo ship whose engines “accidentally” misfire, leaving them without fuel to change course or reach...

    Review BLAKE'S 7: SPACE FALL - Episode 02

    The story picks up right where it left off last week – Blake on his way to the penal colony and confined to his chair. An eight month trip, too; but that’s realistic. Let’s start with the crew of the transport ship. Typical stereotyped characters. Captain like Bligh, crew like a pirate ship...

    Review STAR COPS: AN INSTINCT FOR MURDER - Episode 01

    I admit to being confused by the opening as we witness parallel murders happening in different places. Being brand new to this show, I wasn’t sure that the swimmer wasn’t the man in the space suit using some hologram program or something. (Although if he were, he wouldn’t be out in space but...

    Review BLAKE'S 7: THE WAY BACK - Episode 01

    This was my first time using my TV’s Smartcast feature to watch a show on YouTube, instead of on my computer. While it’s nice to be able to watch a YouTube video on the TV, I was frustrated that I could not go backward or even start over again after it took a few minutes to get the sound level...

    Review BLAKE'S 7: THE WAY BACK - Episode 01

    Not sure if this is where I should reply but I do plan to join up with you all on reviewing BLAKE'S 7. I just need time to watch the first episode and then do my review. I don't plan to look at the other reviews until I post mine so that I won't be influenced by others' opinions. That's the...

    Review S02E22 “Beyond Life And Death”

    And so we close the final curtain on TWIN PEAKS. I could almost say literally – there was a big red curtain drawn to get into the Black Lodge, and Nadine’s last words were “Where are my drape runners?” – but not quite. So, let’s judge it by the stories and how they ended: Windom Earle –...

    Review S02E21 “Miss Twin Peaks”

    And it's now 9:00 P.M. on Dec 31st, so Happy New Year to you too, Mad-pac - and to Bob Peters and Cloister56 wherever they are.

    Review S02E21 “Miss Twin Peaks”

    What a peculiar title this week – Miss Twin Peaks? Of course I don’t miss it. It’s been going on for 29 weeks now; more like I’m getting tired of it. I…oh, the Miss Twin Peaks pageant. I see. Never mind. Pageant wasn’t as weird as expected, though two of the talent phases were suggestive...

    Review S02E20 “The Path To The Black Lodge”

    No idea here. I was going back over the old posts to get my "By the numbers" scores. I saw Cloister56 disappear without any warning, and then Bob Peters was gone too - and he had seemed genuinely interested in the show. I hope you succeed in getting in touch with him and finding out what happened.

    Review S02E20 “The Path To The Black Lodge”

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, too. Oddly enough, I celebrated it again yesterday with my siblings as the 28th was the earliest we could all get together - we're spread out across the state.

    Review S02E20 “The Path To The Black Lodge”

    This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius, age of Aquarius....Hey, wait a minute. AQUARIAS was a TV show that starred David Duchovny (cue eerie music), and it also ran 2 seasons, just like TWIN PEAKS. (eerie music intensifies). Of course, the only reason it ran two seasons is that it got good...

    Review S02E20 “The Path To The Black Lodge”

    She recently appeared in the mini-series "Law & Order: The Menendez Murders" playing the real-life mistress of a psychiatrist whose affair with him played a key role in the case. She has aged, but still looked attractive enough to have been able to lure a man into cheating on his wife.

    Review S02E20 “The Path To The Black Lodge”

    92 minutes. That’s all that’s left of Twin Peaks after this week’s installment. Dale realizes that Windom Earle is now playing “off the board”, killing without having it related to their chess game. What he doesn’t realize is that Earle is way ahead of them on finding the mysterious Black...

    Review S02E19 “Variations on Relations”

    Just a few weeks ago, they seemed to be wrapping up some story lines. Now they just keep continuing on or adding new wrinkles. It’s like a soap opera, but this one won’t be going on for years and years more. Oh, well. The Windom Earle story got the most mileage. He’s looking in at Cooper’s...

    Review S02E18 “On the Wings of Love”

    Getting close to the end now – 4 more episodes left after this one. What storylines will be closed and which ones will end in never-to-be-resolved cliffhangers? (Although since it did come back again, some might still be resolved) Windom is trying to decide who his queen victim will be –...

    Review S02E17 “Wounds and Scars”

    I didn’t forget about TWIN PEAKS. I watched it on Friday, but it’s just been a crazy weekend/week and I’ve only now found time to write about it. Well, let’s see. Windom Earle figured out that Coop is playing a stalemate game with him, so he must be getting help. He feels that’s cheating and...

    Review S02E16 “The Condemned Woman”

    Tonight ends the sad saga of Jocelyn “Josie” Packard, and what a sad saga it has been. She came from humble beginnings, with a father-like mentor that she slept with. She was married to a man she didn’t love, Andrew, and arranged to have him killed - only to be blackmailed by the man she...

    Review S02E15 “Slaves And Masters”

    For starters, we find that the James and the rich widow story isn’t over. She changed her mind since last week and is throwing James under the bus. This leads to a lot of melodrama – first James and Donna trying to slip by the police as she tries to contact Ed for help. It never occurs to...
