Discuss Mission: Impossible

My choices for this pretty good season -

1) The Falcon (which I'm counting as one episode). Lee Merriweather, Leonard Nimoy's over the top magician, Noel Harrison's silly King Nicholai, Barney temporary blindness, in one word: awesome!

2) The Submarine : Another great Lee Merriweather performance. I really loved the bad guy's reaction when he figured out that the Nazi he had tried to break for 20 years without success had been broken by the IMF in less than 8 hours.

3) Lovers Knot: A very strong performance by Leonard Nimoy in this "the cast member is falling for the enemy agent" plotline.

Now let's get some responses, people!

Wow. I would definitely put the Submarine in there but I"d have to look at all the descriptions of the other episodes. To me all the episodes were really good and above average.

@Jayhn1111 spy Yes, a great season, even though after three seasons of Martin Landau and Barbara Bain, the first season without them was strange. We've discussed the episode Gitano before, and while we can both agree that Barry Williams accent sucked, would you consider this to be one of the better season 4 episodes?

As silly as this may sound, it's a little hard for me to watch this one because you hear King Victor talk about how happy he is to see El Jefe again and you know the guys in the car are about to try to kill him. And even though by the end of the episode even Trump knows that El Jefe's going to shoot the King, but Victor's love and faith in El Jefe until the last five minutes always breaks my heart. I know that I'm babbling, but if you can't babble on TMDb MI board, where can you babble?

I'm not sure I would put that episode in my top 3 Maria, but I do think it was a strong episode and I guess I would say it's one of the better ones. That was one of the episodes I always remembered too. While the ending didn't have the same emotional effect on me that it did you, I can definitely see why it had that effect on people. Especially when he said "you tried to keel me". It definitely was a heartbreaking scenario. And Don't ever apologize for what you called "babbling". I love your posts and whenever I come here I am always happy to see that there's a new post from you grin

Oh and by the way, I was thinking about another episode. The numbers Game. That had to be one of my favorite endings ever. The shock on everybody's face when Willy walks in, rams the guy into the wall, takes his gun. Then the other guy that was supposed to be dead, just gets up and they all walk out along with the doctor. I kept rewinding and watching that scene over and over again because it was so perfectly done. I also liked the Crane. There really was no episode that I didn't like from season 4. Even though I am a huge Rollin fan,for the most part I feel like the show is bigger than it's characters in the long run. I know a lot of people don't agree and stopped watching after Landau and Bain left, but I like Paris so I didn't mind it as much as some people.

@Jayhn1111 grin Thank you for the compliment. I like your post too! Yes, Numbers Game was good, but some of the dialogue is hilarious! For instance, the General says the lawyer will be waiting at "three thirty o'clock"! 😅 And the accent of the General's henchman was even worse than Barry Williams!

I remember when they announced that Leonard Nimoy was joining the cast of Mission Impossible I thought, "Mr. Spock will be on MI! This is awesome! "

I just posted on another thread about my long-term-memory-loss of any episodes past season three 100 But I will take a chance on those lost memories to post my most "memorable" three episodes from season four, though not necessarily my "top" choices.

1) The Falcon

2) The Anne Francis guest-female-spy-episode.

3) Any Lee Meriwether/Tracey episodes.

Well, I cheated, sort of, like the Kobiashi Maru scenario grinning

I don't know why I had it in my head that Tracy was in like 8 episodes. I think it was just 4 and 3 of them were from a 3-parter :(

DUDE! grin don't doubt yourself. You had it right (according to IMDB) it was eight. Two as Ann Rojak (The Bunker) and six as Tracy, yup, half those were The Falcon.

@lima-2 spy Interesting fact about The Bunker: I believe it was only time that Barbara Bain wore a mask, mostly because she was a little claustrophobic.
