The Omega Factor (TV Series) Night Games (1979) User Reviews

Tom challenges the Army's experiments, very good episode.

[Sleepin_Dragon · 7/10 · 9 September 2015]

Tom has nightmares about his brother, wild dogs and Morag. Are they simply bad dreams? Or does Tom have a gift? Strange goings on in Caithness with the Army carrying out sound tests.

The growing mistrust between Tom and Roy continues to grow, Tom was suspicious about Roy's dealings with his wife Julia, and now he's suspicious of Roy's interactions with Michael.

I love the music used, it's so 70's, great era of music.

Hazeldine is an excellent lead actor, and does very much lead the series, when you're watching it he's the one you watch.

I like the way the relationship between Tom and Anne is developing, the complexities of both characters make it interesting. There's a definite mutual attraction but there is something holding them both back.

It's a very good, deep episode, more questions are asked then answered again, but it seems not to matter, the series is very satisfying. 7/10

Something is afoot in some army exercises up in Scotland. Something has gone wrong during the army exercise leaving the men in a distressed state. It might be psy ops.

One of them is Tom's brother Michael who is found wandering around the Scottish hills.

At the same time Tom had a vision and heard something about mad dogs. It just so happens someone contacts Department 7 about sightings of mad dogs.

There really is some good photography here on the Scottish landscape.

It is just a shame the story is rather muddled. Tom takes on army bureaucracy when they should be joining forces.

A mixture of good and bad. Once Tom gets through one of the deranged men. He knows Drexel is behind it all and there may be more to the conspiracy. A mole inside the department.
