I just viewed this for the first time in awhile. I'm not sure how everybody else feels about this episode, but I enjoyed it. I could see why it wouldn't be for everybody though. I was able to get past the fact that Rollin was able to go in a room he'd never been in before and address a room full of people he'd never met and fool them all. And of course perfectly imitating the doc on the fly.

Many viewers like it because it breaks the Geller formula. No taped instructions. No apartment briefing. Doing a mission on the fly was a refreshing change for its time.

Hey lima good to see you made it here. That's what I enjoyed about the episode. Just Rollin and Jim on a hunting trip that went wrong. Did you like the episode?

Yes I did! I think what I enjoyed best was the guarded phone conversations the team had with each other. The locals listening in couldn't decipher the double-speak, but "us" viewers could.

The WTF moment for me was when Rollin was sitting at Jim's bedside and Jim is thinking VERY loudly in Rollin's general direction.

The other WTF moment in this episode is when Jim finally gets Rollin's attention ( don't ask me how)and Rollin sends the nurse out of the room, Jim tells Rollin what's going on by blinking his eyes in Morse code! I remember Cind5 saying that if it was him, he would have thought that Jim was having a stroke!

Yeah there were a few parts that you had to work a little to suspend disbelief and that was one of them for me. Blinking your eye in morse code? LOL

Well, we all have to admit that The Town was one of MI's more shall we say, more, "unusual" episodes.
It reminds me of the first season Halloween (because it that's what it was) episode, Zubronik's Ghost. It's, as I've said on other threads, that it's pretty campy, but I thought the best thing about it was the actress who played the IMF "psychic" agent, Martine Bartlett. IMHO, she stole the episode right out from under Rollin and Barney.
