A somewhat sedated season opener, "Metamorphosis" is never the less an engaging Hulk episode that showcases what the series do so well; show the decent human side of David Banner and his monstrous Green Alter Ego.
As David rescues a female singer from a car crash he winds up working as her assistant. His presence upsets her manager and soon because of a drug induced incident the Hulk appears in a very surreal (and quite amusing) scene and once again David has to split town. But his services are needed once more as the singer wants to give her audience the ultimate experience, which unfortunately will kill her.
A good episode from the series, only fails in comparison to other season openers. Mostly well written, even has a couple of OK songs for us melodic and "punk" rockers and Mckensie Philips is very serviceable as the Kiss-inspired rock singer with an identity crisis. The episode even has a nod towards the violence in rock shows of the day...though Alice Cooper went a bit further in the 70's :) As always, Bixby is rock solid and Jack Colvin excels as the extremely unlucky National Register reporter.
