On the Jan. 22nd episode, we finally get to see most of McCall's sundry
agents gathered together in one place (though Robin Curtis (who played
Saavik in Star Trek III) was new to the show, I think).  Very interesting,
and the humor and detail of the show were up to past standards; other than
The Twilight Zone, this is the most consistent show in terms of quality on
the air these days.

A few questions and comments:

What was Mickey Costmeyer saying to McCall when people start arriving at his
apartment?  Something about the French girlfriend he has aquired in a
previous episode? (the continuity on this show is GREAT).

It appears that all the hints dropped during the last few episodes are true
-- Control is no longer in charge of the local CIA chapter (that was the CIA
-- notice the CIA symbol as Control and McCall were conversing).  Jason, I
suppose, has the goods on someone.  By the way, was Jason implying that
Control was gay when he reveals that he has bugged Control's office?

I particularly like how they take any occasion to flesh out a character a
little more -- the help given to the older operative to make the drop, a
chance to see the fellow who runs the clip joint squeeze clients for info...
the writing on this show is very good.

Oh, well, any discussion would be interesting...
