Farrah's back! Return guest episode #3. It starts off auspiciously, with Kris kidnapped. The kidnappers identify her as Jill, who soon flies in to re-join the crew. An enormous misdirection is uncovered, designed to get Jill and Kris together. The mastermind? John Colicos, who filmed this while on Baltar break from BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. He plays a grieving father who blames Jill for the death of his son, a race driver who died in a crash. Colicos is not his normal over-the-top, his grief and anger are more even. Jill explains that the son, her ex-lover and good friend, died because he was a bad driver, trying too hard to make his father happy. Just when you think John will be swayed, he isn't. The episode never quite comes together, but it's a nice effort. If you don't know what it feels like when your loved one gets a haircut you hate, Farrah has a feathered thing going on, and it just doesn't work. Layered good, feathered bad.

Kris kidnapped, Jill returns.
adamcshelby27 August 2021
This was not a well plotted episode. John Colicos, famous for playing Baltar on Battlestar Galactica, and Kor, the first Klingon on Star Trek, plays an angry father named Anton Karazna who wants to take revenge on Jill Munroe, who he blames for his son's death in a car race.
So instead of going to Montreal where Jill is racing, which would have been the most direct approach, he kidnaps Jill's sister Kris and hopes that's enough to lure Jill to California. One would think that flying to wherever Jill happened to be racing and kidnapping her there would have been better than kidnapping her sister Kris, who works for a detective agency and has three fellow detectives willing to track her down. No matter for logic, the lure works perfectly and Jill dutifully flies in from Montreal to assist the Angels.
They're really isn't a whole lot memorable in this one other than Farrah Fawcett returning as Jill. It's always nice to see her again but the writing & directing doesn't always rise to her occasion. Kris spends most of the episode looking concerned and pretty. Seeing how she's a hostage, she's not given much to do. And silly Bosley wears a disguise that belongs in a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang movie.
Jill at least gets a few more interactions with Kelly and Sabrina then she had in her two previous appearances. And the final scene at an airport runway features all four Angels in one shot, which was a rarity. Just wish there was more to it.
