The impossible mission team counter acts voter fraud in a Central American dictatorship.

I made a Mission: Impossible comparison in regard to 2016.

The Democrat narrative is that the DNC e-mail leaks to WikiLeaks were the result of Russian hacking. Note that no one claimed that the leaked content was fake.

So, am I to believe that Russian intelligence sabotaged Hilary Clinton by letting the awful truth go public? Isn't that like the IMF exposing a bad guy?

Can access the site to which you linked without registering - so please clarify if this is the original series from the 1960s with Martin Landau, etc.

It’s the classic series.

My favorite episode is “The Town”.

[Fai Mao]

Original series and Pluto is free. May require an email, Martin Landau plays three characters in this episode

My favorite episode is “The Town”.

Yes - esp. the "reveal" that the Soviet "moles" who are supposed to infiltrate the U.S. are actually pawns who will themselves die from the deadly plague they will be bringing with them.

Nice early appearance of George Takei, just about the exact same time he first was featured in Star Trek (TOS) - before, well, you know...

Interesting to consider that there was a time, not so long ago, when America was ethnically, culturally, and linguistically so homogeneous that foreign agents would be expected to undergo training (incl. learning the "Bill of Rights") in order to "pass" as true Americans!

I met him at the last DragonCon I went to many moon base alphas ago.

We spoke for a few minutes.

Glad I got to meet him.

Space:1999 was a favorite kid show.

It has not aged well except for the Eagles.

[Fai Mao]

One of my favorites too

Amazing that Barbara Bain is still around at 93, especially considering how she seemed to chain-smoke her way through those old M.I. episodes.

[wally_bert]

Her and Barbara Anderson (Mimi) are still around.

I watched the original "Mission: Impossible" during its first run on t.v.

Now, I watch it purely for the nostalgia-value.

Fun Fact: Back then, it was actually possible to earn a minor in "Gellerese" at some colleges.

Ah, the 1960s when liquor and cigarettes were the first treatment for a gunshot wound and Vulcans (or maybe Romulans) took over Central American countries. (Mark Lenard was the comandante).

:}

I was a kid during the first run of that series, I guess I grew up pretty sheltered because Barabra Bain is subtly quite provocative in that series

And Leonard Nimoy took over for Martin Landau when he left the series.
