And this, dear friends, is how you end a series. Or rather, it's how you end the day when a series doesn't seem to know it's ending. It's just a regular ol' episode - but a rib-tickling delight. And of course there were still the reunion movies to come...but curiously, steve goes out the way he came in. Not since the second telemovie pilot has an episode felt this "james bond" - an anarchic terrorist steals American missiles and a soviet launcher, forcing steve to go undercover with a Russian agent (who happens to be a blonde sexpot - what were the odds?). But this one works, because there's no 007 smarmy glibness. Steve and andrea (lisa farringer - COFFY, LAUGH-IN) play honeymooning husband and wife in an alpine resort, then hit the wilderness trail. Soon, they're humping and bumping by campfire light...oh stop, episode, you had us at hello. Yes, there's enough hypocritical, nationalistic propaganda to make a team of oxen puke (The poor Russian is an unwitting pawn of her evil, machiavellian superiors!), but the chemistry and charm hit on all cylinders. As if that weren't enough, the evil general is played with oily elan by john colicos (STAR TREK, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA). No finale with steve, Oscar, and rudy...but a two-week detente sex holiday for our cold warriors is consolation enough.
