Wow -- it took me a while tonight to find out who played "Wade" so brilliantly in this episode, Hijacked!. A pivotal character, Wade held the entire crisis in the palm of his hand, and Bradley Stryker made him utterly real, complex and both terrifying and touching. Good stuff -- Bradley Stryker, was ably backed up by Luke Camilleri, another of the skilled guests enlivening the Arctic Air adventure tonight.
All the terrific regulars and even the smaller roles shone, as always. The other travellers on the plane, rig crew-members who are beyond eager to get to a city and its delights for lonely men, loaded the screen with testosterone and beery bellicosity, yet remained pretty reasonable in a fix. A hallmark of the series is becoming the individual authenticity of even its bit players, such as the RCMP officer who came to help out at the end.
EVERYTHING about this series simply gets better and better week after week. I've been a TV nut since the 1950's, so am easily put off and not so easily turned on to new shows. This one has me in its grip already!
