Looks like I picked the wrong week.. |
Series is finally improving, and it’s no small coincidence
that the drama is becoming more character-oriented. And of course, one of them,
at least in this two-parter, is played by none other than Lloyd Bridges – his
recklessly arrogant Cain is right within his wheelhouse, and it’s a pure delight
to see him uttering the type of lines he would parody just a little over a year
later in Airplane! You can absolutely
see he end of this story coming, as the only way a TV drama like this can drive
home the caution of Cain’s belligerence is through his own destruction. I just
hope they don’t send gorgeous Anne Lockhart, who plays his daughter, with him,
but they just might as it looks like she may fulfill the role of Starbuck’s
must-be ill-fated love interest. Well, you can see hr in two seasons on Buck Rogers.
Observation – they seem to like starting off each show with
a Cylon/Viper dogfight. Is this the intergalactic version of The Dukes of Hazzard’s weekly opening chase between Roscoe and the
Duke boys?
