RikerDonegal#KungFuTheLegendContinues 54 (1995) - 9/10
Fun haunted house episode.
1️⃣ Written by #MichaelSloan (#TheHardyBoys, #TheEqualizer), directed by #JonCassar (#TheOrville). First appearance for #SandeyGrinn as TJ.
2️⃣ This is such an unusual and unique show. It’s a sequel to a martial arts western, but it’s a modern cop show with strong fantasy elements.
3️⃣ This particular story casually incorporates ghosts and time travel! And they take all of it seriously. It shouldn’t work, but it does. In spades.
#ForeverKnight 33 (1994) - 9/10
Is redemption possible?
1️⃣ Does a terrific job of telling a tale about the atrocities of modern warfare within the bounds of the FK formula. Ending is thoughtful and downbeat.
2️⃣ #JonCassar (#TwentyFour, #TheOrville) directs. And the guest cast includes: #VonFlores (#TekWar, #EarthFinalConflict), #ClarkJohnson (#Homicide, #TheWire) and #GordonMichaelWoolvett (#DeepwaterBlack, #Andromeda).
