Ah! The return of Commisioner Simmons. Simmons is complaining that they are doing nothing to return to Earth. Well, he's right. They are more concerned with surviving right now, but thanks for asking, Mister Simmons.

It has been a bit over thirty years since I last watched this show attentively. After R3's disastrous encounter with "Man From Atlantis", I was a bit hesitant to subject good childhood memories to the light of 21st century sensibilities.

How well did it hold up? Well, that'd be telling.

Oh, okay. I'll tell you, but after the jump.

(Is it appropriate to post 'Spoilers' for 35 year old TV shows?)

Fred Freiberger was a television producer with a long and successful career, which is impressive if you’re the kind of person who’s impressed by that sort of thing. I’m not, personally, but it’s more than I’ve done, so perhaps I should be. He’s also a writer, which is a bit more impressive, but given the stuff that he wrote, not vastly much more so. He was one of the anonymous faces behind the camera, the names at the credit crawl at the end of the episode that no one outside of the industry, and obsessive fans (like me) ever tended to notice.
