The Incredible Hulk: Goodbye Eddie Cain (1981)
A Very Well-Written Episode
This happened to come on one of our local rerun channels today, and I was glued to the screen. I remember The Hulk being generally well-written, but this film-noir style episode is particularly good. One almost gets the feeling that the writers came across an old movie script and adapted it for the show. The notable exception to the otherwise excellent script are some awkward lines of dialog issued by Eddie Cain about two-thirds of the way into the episode--lines delivered in an almost goofy style that don't match the somber tone of Cain's narration. Beyond this, the word choices are so sharp, and the delivery so thoughtful, that it really takes you back to a much earlier age of screen writing. Combined with a convoluted plot that will keep you guessing 'til the end, this is a very good episode indeed.
