Revealing mistakes: After Briggs has listened to the tape of the 'mission' briefing he destroys the tape reel by throwing it into a furnace as he passes in his car . If you look carefully as the camera pans to the furnace you will notice the reel in the bottom of the frame as it misses it's target and bounces back off the floor .

This time around, our beloved daredevils are hired to prevent a corrupt politico from tampering with the results of an election in a banana country. It is morally dubious (it doesn't seem right that they want to alter the political future of a country), but this show is about action and suspense, not ethical concerns. It is the first episode that allows one of the Taskforce members to show how they really feel about the mission (Cinnamon falls for a dissident). It adds a new layer to the familiar formula. Mark Lenard (Sarek in the "Star Trek" franchise) is the guest star and this is a rare opportunity to see the actor without any make-up (he also played a simian in the "Planet of the Apes" TV series). The story is hard to swallow but who cares. It is very entertaining.
