Only the Unique Love Scene Saves This One.

Following int he great tradition of Season 5 location shoots, this time production goes back to ... Greece? I think? I dunno, it's hard to tell, really. they mention it a few times, but honestly, this was hard to know. It looked like Greece, but then the locals were dressed like modern-day cowboys with accents that were a cross between England and Tunisia. Turns out it was the Island of Rhodes just off of Turkey. The Hart's show up in a yacht with Max in tow. What, did they sail there? Apparently, they've been at it for three weeks, so they probably did. They meet Jennifer's old Classic's professor, who's on the verge of a discovery the bad guys want. The local extras seem oblivious that anything's being filmed here and/or that these people are famous actors, which is probably why they keep going abroad; the last time they went local, the San Franciscans couldn't stop staring and taking photos of them on camera. A hungry little boy the professor take in plays a big role here, which is actually kind of sweet at the end. But you can tell that when J&J learn that the professor's assistant may have been murdered that RJ & Stefanie are just tired of saying, "murdered?!" like it's something new and shocking in their lives. The guest stars are terrible in this, but no biggie. The greatest part of this episode is the scene about 12 minutes in with J&J on their boat just staring at each other, kissing, and having Max interrupt them.

Jen: Isn't it wonderful?

Jonathan: Ins't what wonderful?

Jen: Just being here listening to the music and the people.

Jonathan: I don't hear anything

Jen: What?

Jonathan: We're the only ones here. That's what's wonderful. Just the two of us. You and I. Alone in the world. No more mysteries.

Max: Hey Mr. H.

Jonathan: Not now, max.

Max: I gotta talk to you, boss.

Jonathan: Go away. Max: It's important.

Jonathan: I know what's important.

Max: I'm sorry Mr. H, but something funny's going on.

Jonathan: Tell me later Max.

Max: You gotta take a look now.

Jonathan: Take a look at what. Max: Come on, I'll show ya.

The looks Stefanie was giving RJ and the head-shaking and the frustration was great. RJ was understated and not to much on the emoting, but he was too busy gazing. This scene brought the whole thing up to a 7. Otherwise, it's easily a 5.

I was an extra in this episode, by complete accident.

The scene I was shot in the town centre of Rhodes. I took photos of the time and have since been back decades later and tasken the same photos.

Sadly I do not know where I can watch the episode to take some screenshots, just to see if we made into the cut. The scene I was in was shot around a fountain in the middle of a square.

I and wearing a tripey (vertical) T shirt and tiney shorts, I would be holding hands with my girlfriend.

We were definately told too look unconcerned, it was a lot of fun. I think we got some free food, which was great as we were soooo broke.

Therer were a lot of people who did know what was being shot, they were so annoyingly aggressive about getting their face into the scene. Which is probably why the crew picked on us to be in the scene as we could'nt care less.

Death Dig

While vacationing on the exotic island of Rhodes, Jennifer and Jonathan become ensnared in a scheme for the smuggling of ancient Greek artifacts and are nearly entombed in the process. The main villains (George Baker and John Wyman) are hiding some activity, illegal, of course.

There is nice scenery from the island of Rhodes, which can be distracting, especially when the plot seems to be a bit meandering. It's a standard story but lacks that punch, but the scenery, the Harts and John Wyman ( For your eyes Only) do his usual henchman role help things along. There's some nice banter between Jennifer, Jonathan and Max and an energetic scooter chase towards the end.
