T.J. Hooker 2x22 "Lady in Blue" review by RikerDonegal
**Anne-Marie Martin, Percy Rodrigues, Leo Rossi.** Directed by William Shatner, written by series creator Rick Husky. We’re back in the hospital for the 3rd week in a row! Yikes! 3 episodes with Hooker being emotional beside that hospital damn bed! First, the little girl. Then, his ex-wife. This week, one of his rookies is shot while working with him. Her leg is amputated and Hooker feels guilty for setting a bad example. Martin is great. Giving it 100%. She has to, to match Shatner. He’d blow almost anyone off the screen, but not Martin. Crime story is good. Rossi is excellent as a cocky sleazebag. Plenty of shootouts and action. Climax at the warehouse is especially good. Clips from it make their way into the opening credits next season. Making them iconic for a fan of the show. Stacy and Jim don’t appear much until the big battle at the end. It’s clear now that they are great together as partner. In the last scene, we are told that Hooker and Romana are being reprimanded for working the case themselves and getting in the way of the detectives. Final episode for Richard Herd as a regular, but he will appear in 9 more episodes as a guest star. Shatner, as director, makes some strong camera choices. Both for the action sequences and the dramatic scenes. He knows what he’s doing. I particularly like the sequence with the little boy filmed from out on the water. Something you don’t see done. The kid is good and there’s no close up on his face until he delivers his final line in the scene. It’s a great line and the effect of suddenly seeing his face as he says it adds a lot to the scene. Smart editing. I hope we never see that damn hospital corridor again!!! _Spring 1983: Aired by ABC on Saturdays before The Love Boat. Against it: Wizards and Warriors (CBS); Diff'rent Strokes + Silver Spoons (NBC)._ 8/10
Lady in Blue
Hooker holds himself personally to blame when a female rookie cop that he trained is seriously wounded in a confrontation with a pair of fleeing gun-shop robbers. With the officer needing her leg amputated as a result of the wound, Hooker and Romano, with help from Stacy and Corrigan, investigate the gun thieves, who are selling their hauls to a back-street crime baron.

T.J. Hooker 2x21 "Payday Pirates" shout by RikerDonegal
**Mike Genovese.** Good episode, largely because it’s the first to feature James Darren as Corrigan, and the first to have Stacy in a patrol car, a development that significantly opens up the storytelling. 2 impressive car chases in interesting locations–rough ground, large warehouse, etc. Last episode for Lee Bryant and Nicole Eggert. For the second week in a row, Hooker’s ex is caught up in the crime-of-the-week. Her injury feels unnecessary. It does allow Shatner to chew scenery, of course. The crime stuff is good, and the best scenes show Stacy and Corrigan adjusting to each other as partners. They play a big part in the story, and Stacy impresses. _Spring 1983: Aired by ABC on Saturdays before The Love Boat. Against it: Wizards and Warriors (CBS); Diff'rent Strokes + Silver Spoons (NBC)._ 8/10
Payday Pirates
On Stacy's first week of field training, Hooker assigns her to be partnered with tough veteran officer Jim Corrigan, who has low opinion of female cops after his former parter was killed while partnered with one. Meanwhile, Hooker has a personal concern in catching the culprits of a series of violent mini-mart robberies in a factory district, when his ex-wife Fran is badly wounded in a hold-up and is in danger of being left blind as a result.
The Hostages
After Hooker and Romano foil an armed robbery committed by a family of robbers, which leaves the father wounded in hospital and the daughter held in custody, the two sons take the hospital wing with their father on siege, holding Hooker's ex-wife Fran, Stacy, a little girl urgently needing heart surgery, and a whole floor of patients hostage.
