Discuss Mission: Impossible

The IMF sets their sights of Sheriff Lobo, speed dealer.

Casey puts on a Jenny Sullivan mask and pretends to be a crazy speed freak hippie motorcycle riding daughter of Sheriff Lobo so that her "friend" (who has white hair and a calm demeanor and is secretly the head of the IMF) can insinuate himself into the speed dealer's life. In the meantime, Barney pretends to be a Nawlins drug dealer looking to score a big batch of pills from Sheriff Lobo. He has to win an auction, though. (Which is weird. Drug deals don't usually work that way, but okay...)

The IMF had a clever scheme. Casey and Jim set up a situation where the only way to deliver the big batch of speed pills is to use Jim's airplane. He portrayed himself as a reluctant participant (a common IMF tactic -- don't seem overeager). Willie provides behind the scenes support. They overlook a small detail: the crazy speed freak daughter is sleeping with a random scumbag on the side and Casey has no real idea of how to successfully handle him and he ends up throwing a major spanner into the works.

So the IMF ends up saving the day with a gunfight.

A so-so episode. To me, the highlight was watching Casey perform motorcycle stunts in front of the Fairmont. I spent a few days in that hotel on a business trip. $450 a night for the cheap rooms, but well worth it if someone else is paying for it. Just one of the chandeliers in the dining room, as I recall, was probably worth ten times my bank account.

The fact that I was daydreaming about such things when I should have been lost in the story says something about the overall mediocrity of the episode.

I have one more disc left. Then I will have watched every episode in the original series.
