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

Six Senseless

Apparently this was the network's answer to the failure of "Night Gallery" to pop in the ratings. This is the first of the "Sixth Sense" episodes starring Gary Collins. It has a nice hook with the image of a soldier missing in Vietnam appearing mysteriously, but unfortunately the episode dissolves to a lot of explanation and pontificating as to what's going on. The answer in the end is less than satisfying. Not sure why the network thought this was going to be something big, unless they were just looking for a vehicle to showcase Gary Collins talents. He's not bad in it, but I'm not that big a fan that I think I'd feel compelled to watch any more of these.
