User Reviews

The disaster continues

I am again disappointed that hugs are not shown in father/son reunion after such a stressful time. Sandy may be a bit old, but Bud talked about wanting to cry. I wish he had embraced his father like a lot of boys would today.

Still, this is a pretty good and believable conclusion to this story. Flipper plays an important part in this part, as do the boys. Porter spends most of the episode trying to escape while the boys spend most of it worrying.

This two-parter was very good. I couldn't help giving it a ten. The story line was pretty fresh.
