Truly Great Episode in The Long-Running TV Series, 12 June 2007
9/10
Author: Hal-900 from WA, USA

After a few bumps, the TV series begins to find a comfortable niche. The title credits sequence suffers some changes and the episode itself is a bit more mean-spirited than usual. I think this is exactly where the show realizes what it needs to do in order to woo the audience. The IMF is faced with real dilemmas (underworld figures force our beloved team to help with an assassination plot) and no easy solutions. It is a suspenseful, well-acted and well-written episode with lots of twists and turns. Steven Hill is particularly commanding in this episode. I think it is the beginning of the memorable series, as we know it. If you don't like this one, the show is not for you.
