Storyline

Tina Morris has persistent visions of her brother Randy, a soldier presumed killed in action in Vietnam. She receives a telepathic message from Randy in Chinese by "automatic writing," a psychic phenomenon in which one receives thought impulses and transcribes them while in a trance-like state. Tina seeks the help of Dr. Rhodes, who believes that Randy may still be alive, and seeking escape from a P.O.W. camp. Unfortunately, somebody close to Randy wants to keep his location a secret, and will use any means, including arson and murder, to hide the truth from Dr. Rhodes.

User Reviews

Very good start

This episode started a terrific series, although it seems as if I'm in the minority with that opinion, but this was a surprisingly good segment for a series opener. The Sixth Sense only had a total of 25 episodes, but mostly all of them were interesting with some solid acting performances and original stories. Back to this episode, which stars Belinda Montgomery as Tina Norris, she has visions of seeing a man, who is either her boyfriend/husband/brother(I couldn't tell with the poor editing), being held captive during the Vietnam war; the man is named Randy Blake(Kip Nivin), and the visions weren't the best of the series, but was adequate enough. Look for a very weird performance by Christina Crawford(Betty Blake), the adopted daughter of legend Joan Crawford, as this was her final acting performance, but it adds to the charm of this episode, I suppose. The final sequence of Randy's vision and him being eventually released was a bit underwhelming and seemed a bit rushed, but this is passable for the series opener.
