Even though Season 6 marked a turn towards nearly all US-based crime fighting by our team, instead of the globe-trotting espionage cases they had done before, there were still good episodes, such as this one.
For one thing, a significant part of the story takes place underwater, which gives a nice touch. Also, we are outdoors a lot: on the beach, on boats. MI fans will appreciate this, since so often our team is in a maze of high-rise offices, or big garages, etc. Fritz Weaver was a fine actor and does a good job as the villain here. Some fans tend to complain a lot about the Season 6 and 7 shows, because they found the US-based adventures less exciting; but, that is the direction the show went, so we should enjoy these shows for their good points.
Lynda Day George makes such a high-quality member of the MI team, it is always a pleasure to see her. All our regulars are good as usual. There are some scenes in this episode which are distinctly eerie; you'll know them when you see them. Well worth watching.
