MUNCLE

The Man From UNCLE marathon continues but unfortunately we've reached the run of bad episodes around the middle of Season 3. Such a shame because I really do love this show and it just feels like someone has poured a bucket of cold water over that. I understand it gets better again towards the end of Season 3 and into Season 4 so we'll just have to stick it out. We've got past The My Friend, the Gorilla Affair which I understand is universally acknowledged as the worst episode. So hopefully things will start to improve.

Although I wasn't overly impressed with The Jingle Bells Affair either. It was pretty much an hour long Macy's commercial with some festive sap thrown in. This was pretty much my face for the duration of the episode.



Oh well. Onwards and upwards. Not going to be watching any more until next week now. Got D&D tonight and I really need to catch up with four episodes of Hannibal tomorrow before the finale at the weekend.

The great part of Jingle Bells is that Napoleon could read Russian, but apparently Illya couldn't or even speak it. You really have to wonder where they dug the S3 writers up.

Haha! Really? I think I was paying so little attention that I missed that gem.

God, I hope it gets better soon.

You still have some stinkers ahead for you, although Suburbia is fun and Yo, Ho, Ho, is one of my favorites. Hula Doll is interesting only in that Illya is really keen on a scientist and there's really bad THRUSH involved (but Illya comes out of the closet - literally). He sings with Nancy Sinatra in Take me to Your Leader and Mr. Waverly embraces his wild side in It's All Greek to Me.

Take Me To Your Leader is the next one we've got to watch and it sounds pretty terrible. Singing? Really? Oh dear. The Off-Broadway one was bad enough...

A song of his own creation. He's pretty, but the plot is pretty painful.

It does get better, keep on going.
