A confluence!

Airwolf Season 4? What’s that all about? I saw an episode & thought I was dreaming.

Almagamated mirror world tv show on laughing gas.

Not the Jan Michael Vincent & Ernest Borgnine jaunt in a weaponized whirlybird I was accustomed to!

Airwolf SE4 was broadcast on the USA Network, budget slashed, had the entire cast replaced, they filmed in Canada, & reused the flight scenes from earlier seasons! The chopper was a fake too!

Watch Airwolf Season 4 episode 20 “The Puppet Master” either on Hulu (why is it on HULU? Bandwidth be damned!),

or a dedicated fansite! http://bit.ly/9kSIp (OF ALL THE THINGS TO MAKE A FANSITE ABOUT?)

OMG! THEY'RE GONNA MAKE ME WATCH IT!

Spoiler: It’s like the Bloodhound Gang meets Skynet on the set of War of the Worlds the series. (Yes, I watched WOTWTS.)

It’s just so bizarre on many different levels.

Here’s the intro to Season 4 on youtube:

It’s not quite the same is it without JMV and EB?

Think I’ll go back to watching Banacek.

Ahhhh, R.I.P. George Peppard.

I thought it appropriate to share one of my favorite songs from Born in the USA.

Downbound Train is a lament and a dirge, like only Springsteen can do it.

Bruce , Paris, 1985

I don’t remember falling asleep during the beginning of “The Last Samurai”.

But I woke up during this scene!

NINJAS FLIPPING OUT! oh and gaijin Tom Cruise getting nasty with the katana.

What a delightfully epic battle scene in the middle of a Cruise flick. Who’d a thunk it?!

My favorite part of this clip is at 3:42, when after fighting dozens of ninjas, THREE MORE JUMP IN.
( I suggest you add it to your Netflix queue / Public Library request list.)

It’s “Glory” meets “The Last of the Mohicans” set in “The Seven Samurai”.

This is awesome.
