Don't take my Hobie away
paultapner14 February 2024
This time around: Two hapless robbers try to recover their stolen money after their plane crashes in the sea.

Captain Thorpe has a mid life crisis.

Gail wants to take Hobie to Ohio with her. But might she and Mitch be getting back together? That's what they've led Hobie to think.

The Buchannon stuff ends up being the main plot, when you initially think it will be the robbers. This is actually not bad as far as genuine solid drama goes. The three leads do try hard and elicit some decent emotion as a result.

But as oft what does slightly spoil this is changing tones. It doesn't handle them too well. The robbers work by virtue of being hapless not humorous. The Captain Thorpe stuff is played too much for laughs though, and gets very annoying when he's annoying Shauni and Eddie. Plus it really can't balance drama and humour in a montage and drama moment in the final third.

But all in all, has some good bits. So not bad.

Very little Jill. Again No Gina. No Trevor either.

Stupid and sappy. I know why this show stayed on the air, but how did it stay on the air... seriously.

Not without its charm

At first I thought this was a little lame because of the two who stole the money were a tad corny. But this episode has a lot of charm! The story line where captain Thorpe works with Eddie and shaunie is classic! And although the part where hobbie is supposed to move is pretty predictable,there was some pretty touching moments and for baywatch some damn good acting!!!
