Discuss Mission: Impossible

B movie villain Steve McNally is a cocaine dealer that knows the location of "every gram" of coke in the city and he is waiting for a big shipment from ubiquitous character actor Gregory Sierra. (And the IMF takes a break from saving the world from disaster to stop this shipment from happening.) The most interesting character is McNally's right hand man, a ladies man played by no other than the Shat himself. Shat is operating behind his boss's back and is unwittingly being played by the IMF. We are treated to some prime ham here. Good stuff!
This one has a lot of moving parts and the IMF is on top of things for most of the time. Double crosses within double crosses.
The "who is using who?" flirtation between Shatner and Barbara Anderson reminded me naturally of "Conscience of the King."
Milton Seltzer makes an appearance as a lower ranking (and very doomed) henchman. He made a living in the seventies playing this loser role.
The only nit, which I have been beating like a dead horse this seventh season, is that the entire team showed themselves to the bad guys at the end. I much prefer it when they sneak away and the villains don't even realize they've been tricked.
Overall, though, this one get a thumbs up from me.

Hello everyone, I'm back! What you said about the quarantine is right on the money! I have to stay inside too, and only go out for doctors appts and buying food. As for those dumbasses who are protesting (once again confirming to the rest to the world that Americans are lunatics), I saw a woman holding a sign saying "My rights are more important than your health problems." When I saw that, a little piece of me died inside. You know, if the lunatic-in-chief was President during WW2 and those damn protesters were alive back them, we'd all be speaking German.

Oh personal Diety that's happening? I hadn't heard about that. However, I read in The Washington Post that earlier this week a guy back east not only refused to wear a mask, he started shooting at police with a AK-47! You can't make this stuff up.

Actually I think this happened in Maryland. And if that wasn't bad enough, 2 weeks ago in Minnesota (I'm seriously thinking about adding them to my list of states that should be nuked), a couple did wear their masks, but the masks were mini Nazi flags with a lot of bad stuff about Joe Biden written on them. When someone told them that wearing the flags was inappropriate, they started acting like 2 year olds having a temper tantrum. Anyway, the couple have been banned from ANY Walmart for a year. This is why the rest of the world thinks that all Americans are lunatics.
