I am still working my way through season 1 (of 7), and am enjoying it so far.
I remember what I've seen of the TV series being really good. Look forward to see it again soon, either on DVD or Blu-ray.
I am a few episodes in, it reminds me of the game Fable it many ways. The set designs and costumes are good in a fantasy world similar 19th century Russia.
Watched episide 6 earlier today, its interesting though taken me several weeks to get this far, it's not binge worthy for me. It gets more violent.
That's right I have two episodes to go, it has picked up pace with the last episode. I have a feeling I know where its going though I am also prepared for a twist shock ending.
A rerun of The Love Boat guest starring Deadlier Than The Male's Elke Sommer
@MajorDSmythe Here's a brief clip from it:
The episode also featured other 1960s spy film vets: Mike Connors (Kiss The Girls And Make Them Die), Camilla Sparv (Murderer's Row, Assignment K) and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. himself, Robert Vaughn.
I just watched that, purely for scientific reasons. Never saw The Love Boat before, but while I had heard of it, I thought it was a soap, didn't know that it was a comedy!
James Garner returning to his famous creation. Only ran to one series but it has
all the usual fun scams to get the better of the villains. Simply a fun easy going
adventure series and apparently never repeated on British tv since its first broadcast.
I've also worked my way through all the Black and White episodes of The Saint, there
are some great stories in there. I'll soon start on the Colour episodes of the Remaining Seasons.
@Thunderfinger i Just ordered the Blu-ray set of the original series from Amazon. A bit pricy with shipping costs added, but considering it's a set of 46 BR discs, it was an alright enough price.
Cool. I am about to start on season three, and still having a good time. A bit weird that Riggs from season one is suddenly swapped for Phelps from season two onward without any explanation. I remember them both from more or less random episodes I watched as a kid, but didn t know the change was so abrupt.
It's so long ago that I can't remember if it was the original show, the 80's one, or that I remember episodes from both shows, but I remember watching episodes on TV with Briggs, and episodes with Phelps. Never thought about Phelps being Briggs' replacement either.
I only remembered it being Briggs after looking up why Steven Hill didn't return for season two.
And why didn t he?
From Wikipedia:
Haha, thanks! The Wikipedia article on Steven Hill elaborates a bit more on him leaving M:I.
Hill not being available to shoot scenes must have been frustrating enough for the production. If he had a drinking problem (which is not suggested in the Wikipedia article), then that must have further complicated the situation. I remember liking the Briggs character, but Phelps wasn't a downgrade.
Pretty good ghost story, I will watch the earlier series now.
Yes, I seem to remember early episodes he doesn't feature in. Really looking forward to be able to watch M:I again!
I did some research, and found out that each season covers one book (although the first book bled a little into season 2). So if the sixth IS indeed the end of it on TV we can still read the last three books to find out how it all ties together, though they said that season 6 will be a suitable place to leave off...
