I enjoyed this episode as I usually do with this show and it's always good to see Robert Lansing but there was one scene that really bothered me.
It's when Mannix went to George's office and someone took a shot at him with the lights off and knocked George out. The shooter is never seen onscreen but it's suggested that they ran out the side door and that's what Mannix believes. Now what bothers me is that for the rest of the entire scene Mannix is completely turned away with his back facing that door not looking back ONCE. Sure he took a quick peep out at first but that doesn't mean the shooter couldn't come back. At least close the door, sheesh! I kept feeling like he was gonna get shot in the back lol
It reminded me of a couple episodes ago the same thing happened. Mannix was attacked and shot at in his office and after they fought the shooter ran out the front door with the gun. Mannix then rushes to the phone with his back once again to the door never even thinking to turn around just to check and make sure, as if when the shooter leaves the room that's the end of it... no chance of them returning, no more danger whatsoever. What if they were running away to hide behind a corner to continue shooting at him? It's so annoying because that's unrealistic and basically not taking the gun threat seriously.
I didn't have a problem with the ending like the other reviewers. I liked that it wasn't who I thought it was, although I am getting kinda tired of love sick middle aged men... blah. I guess I don't have that much experience in passion to sympathize with killing for love (or losing it).
Oh one last thing, I wonder how many times the actress had to fall off that cliff?
