Even though this episode is of the same almost uniformly excellent quality that fans of this show have come to expect, it's truly Meg Foster (She with the ethereal eyes) who really makes this episode come to life. Her natural style, improvisational manner of acting, and of course her stunning beauty all combine to make you root for her in spite of anything contrary that she says or does in the episode. In point of fact I found myself wondering during it what The Bionic Woman would have been like if Meg Foster had starred in it! What a unique and unsung actress!

Trail of Terror has some diamonds purchase rip off! Well, when some sailors come for their money an angry and not too smart James Wood kills the sleaze. Well Wood's playa a good psycho, with the other sleazy sailors who chase Meg Foster. Her glowing eyes child of the earth 70's gall goes back to town and into Keller's hands. We got a bit of the Movie First Blood with cop's chasing some unbalanced characters. Well all I can say is the sailors are not that smart and Meg is a survivor. Well I fell asleep at the end, but entreating and predictable at the same time. 5 stars.
