Banacek is called in to find the missing vehicle before a huge insurance claim must be paid. The multi-million dollar Phoenix, prototype for a revolutionary new car, disappears from a non-stop train en route to Boston – flat-car included. It also stars the rather gorgeous Stefanie Powers. Having the convincer that it was a publicity stunt helps.

When a football player vanishes from the field in full view of network cameras and a live audience, it’s up to Banacek to figure out how his kidnappers spirited him away without a trace.ĭespite the weak puzzle, the story itself is well written. Season 1 Episode 1 – Let’s Hear It for a Living Legend Oh, except for the fight scene, that is really terrible. I was very impressed at how well this has aged, considering it’s now over 40 years old. It has some light humour too which it manages well. This episode is a great introduction to the man and sets up his first meeting with his soon-to-be permanent sidekick, Jay, also perfectly cast as Ralph Manza. He’s a very cool dude! George Peppard is perfectly cast here. SPOILERS! Hover over this for my suggestions for possible improvements SPOILERS! Hover over this for my concerns Synopsis – An insurance investigator tries to find an armoured car carrying gold bullion that disappeared after turning off of a deserted Texas highway, its tyre tracks ending at the edge of a canyon. Eclipso then flung The Shade into a puff of smoke, and shorted out the cosmic staff when Courtney came charging, before scampering away on all fours.TV Banacek Pilot Episode – Detour to Nowhere Eclipso then took a shard of the diamond and flung it at Cindy’s feet, creating a quicksand-like pool of goo into which she sank and disappeared, despite Courtney’s attempt to help. After libbing Cindy aside, Eclipso walked over to injured Isaac and did what he did to Cindy’s stepmom, inhaling/eating the lad’s soul. Seeing their frenemy in peril, Courtney charged at Cindy, but when the tip of the cosmic staff hit and shattered the Black Diamond, it apparently released Eclipso in his corporeal form!Ĭindy went to stab Eclipso, but he rrrrripped a shiv from one of her arms, and then flung it at Isaac. Eclipso in turn told Cindy “it is time… for me,” at which point he semi-possessed her and attacked The Shade.

The Shade chided Cindy for using the Black Diamond in some “trivial, teenage gang fight,” and invited her to turn it over to him. Injustice Unlimited was not down for the count, though, as Cindy whipped out the Black Diamond - which is right when the shadowy Shade snaked into the cafeteria, eventually taking his natty, top-hatted form. Beth meanwhile found and freed Mike, who had been strung up in a closet. Soon after arriving at the cafeteria, Courtney, Yolanda and Rick started slugging it out with Cindy/Shiv, Artemis and Isaac in a breathless six-minute fight sequence that featured some nifty match cuts and really did a number on a washroom. Distraught, Barbara made us of Richard Swift’s business card and summoned The Shade, who was indifferent to Stargirl’s plight until he learned that arch enemy Cindy had the Black Diamond in her possession. Court then got a call from Mike, though it was Cindy on the other end - inviting her to meet up at the cafeteria that night to settle things.

Mike meanwhile was rummaging around Zeke’s junkyard for a S.T.R.I.P.E. Artemis stopped Isaac from killing a concussed Pat (“He’s my dad’s friend,” aww), then got to ripping S.T.R.I.P.E. Artemis joined in, whaling on Pat, who (at first) refused to take swings at a kid. Arriving at the Pit Stop, Pat was painfully bowled over by Isaac’s sonic strumming of his mother’s violin.
