  TITANS s3e10: Troubled Water “Oh, come on, Lydia!” “You gotta be fucking kidding me!”   This one starts out great enough: Scarecrow and Jason rapport: check and wonderful (love these guys even if they are very, very bad). Jason seems to want to have returned to the Titans but why? To infiltrate them? Then, we have the Titans sort of working as a team to stop some of the manic people who drank the Scarecrow poisoned water AND Scarecrow announcing that Nightwing poisoned the water. Okay, so it stretches credibility that anyone that didn’t drink the water would believe that but let’s go with that for a minute. All of that plot works. People start dying. A great dilemma and wonderful scenario.   So what does this show do? Intersperse all of that with Donna taking a cab from the airport, walking on a road, fighting old lady Lydia and losing, and then being tested in yet another illusionary situation. This is not what this episode needed. It needed----if you’re go...

  Ron Ely’s TARZAN-43-THE MOUNTAINS OF THE MOON part 2   “We better do what Tarzan says.” Hank, from the mouth of babes.   “Perhaps love is a land you never reach.” “Maybe that’s what love really is, always trying over and over. The reaching and trying.”   Gosh what are Tarzan and Rosie talking about?   I really want to like this story, I really do. I’m just not sure I do. It does try to do something different and the truth is that NO other TV show that has regular characters has the suspense that this episode does. The death of Chigga early on in this episode and the picking up of guns by the “peaceful pilgrims” is so stunningly shocking that…I felt that anything could happen and everyone, even little blond boy Hank, could be killed. The blond girl that was sort of with Chigga shoots and kills Rockne’s character (is he named?). BTW Rosanna and Hank had the guns hidden in their wagon the entire time…maybe if they shot Rockne’s character early...
