I love this episode, one of the top-ten Hogan's for sure. Lots of action, lots of laughs, and an excellent story. One of the best scenes occurs when William Christopher and Ivan Dixon break into the Nazi radio station and take it over. Obviously, having Dixon doing the announcing is the ultimate!!!

However, there is one major flaw in the script. It occurs early when Major Hochstetter shows up. He looks at Hogan and says "Who is this man?!?!?" This makes no sense since Howard Caine has already appeared in seven previous episodes as Hochstetter, meaning he knows who Colonel Hogan is! This makes no sense. Unless this episode was shot the previous season and was not used?

I hope someone can clarify this.

Well, I came to TBBT late - didn't start watching until it was in syndication - but am definitely a fan. I may have written a few reviews years ago, not sure, but felt the need to write one here. Partly to put my 2¢ worth in and partly to reply to all those giving 1's for their ratings in many of season 10 & 11 episodes.

First, I agree that the show is not as good as it was in the early years and I find myself giving fewer 8, 9's and 10's and more 6's than in the first six or seven seasons. Next, I would also agree there is much more predictability in recent years, too. There is still good humor, Leonard usually comes in with a great deadpan zinger, and the bantering between Sheldon and Amy is usually good for a few yucks.

Finally, as for this episode, we see Amy and Leonard together - ehhh, it's OK, like average - and we see Raj and Wolowitz doing their band-thing - again, nothing too new nor exciting, tho with a few funny lines. But when Penny brings pizza to Sheldon while he is working on string theory....hahahahaa, it is hysterical to see Penny working with him as he is at his white board! So, what would have been a 5 rating, I raise it up to a 7 because of Penny and Sheldon.

Peace out, scouts!

Decades TV Network has been running a Hunter marathon all weekend and, not having seen this show in ages, decided to stay in and watch. They ran practically the entire seasons 4 and 5. Some of the episodes were too predictable and some a little hokey. However, if you think about this in terms of the 80's most of the episodes are pretty good, especially if you like police shows.

Anyway, this episode was not quite what you would expect, nor was the ending. If you watch it, you need to watch it all the way thru. Not sure why McCall is barely featured in this episode, and, in fact, this story would have been a good one to expand into a two-parter. Not much on the Columbian connections and with undercover operations going on, there could have been a little more on this. Dee Dee does run an internal sting operation so there are multiple plot lines to follow.

Of all the Season 5 episodes I saw, this one was definitely the best.
