It was also nice to get a Solo-free show - not because Solo is bad, but it opens up the U.N.C.L.E. universe a bit and shows it is an organization rather than just two guys.ARHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8408562953996493129.post-46288528003541462532011-01-27T16:09:27.264-06:002011-01-27T16:09:27.264-06:00Oh my, a classic? Hardly.
This has to be one of ...Oh my, a classic? Hardly.<br /><br />This has to be one of the worse episodes of <b>MFU</b>. The cadets are annoying, the school a bit of a "suck it up and shut up" environment that doesn't promote the agents' learning to be creative thinkers (which I think they have to be to really succeed), and Illya comes off a little slow on the uptake. This "school" comes across more Army than U.N.C.L.E.<br /><br />And the whole thing that having a Thrush infilitrate the Survival School is such a tragedy is ridiculous in a season where we already saw the Section I Continental Chiefs infilitrated quite successfully for quite a period of time by Harry Beldon. And U.N.C.L.E. didn't fall apart at the seams at that, but one Thrush Survival School cadet making agent would manage to do that? Come on.<br /><br />Plus there had been countless infiltrations of various HQs portrayed over the years on the series. People who were already in trusted positions, not a new agent coming in fresh from Survival School and possibly never even making the grade to Section II.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17222937362273926228noreply@blogger.com
