Not perfect but good

[skinnybert · 7/10 · 27 October 2020]

A competent episode with some subpar plotting. It stretches our credulity to encounter yet another white-person-in-charge-of-an-African-tribe ... or at least, this particular person, who seems entirely unsure why he's there, or even how he got there. I mean, this isn't Gilligan's Island, right?

On the plus side, Gina is getting a little better at delivering a comical line. And let us give the writers credit for referencing the military strategy last seen in the 1960s movie ZULU.

This episode ends a bit strangely,as the last scene sets us up to see two of the guest characters again ... but they never do come back. Maybe there was some hope of doing a movie later on (the way Star Trek got Wrath of Khan) but 20 years later I don't think that's gonna happen.

This means war

N'Gama would like to have an oil refinery built, but the oil company AGMES picks an area that is sacred to a tribe of natives and, hardly surprising, is attacked by them. Sheena and Cutter would like to help the tribe with the help of the press photographer Peter (Tom Savini). The leader of the tribe, unexpectedly, is an American kid from the military academy who does not really want to cooperate with them. But as N'Gama sends in troops, he has no choice but give it a try.

When Cutter tells Sheena about „guerilla warfare", she replies: „Gorillas don't do this." Uh... right. Where were we? Fast-paced story with surprising twists! Sheena turns into a lion and into the Darak'na again. When I saw the photographer put a roll of negative film in his camera, I realized how old the series already is, 14 years... How time flies.
