7/10
Torn about this one: it was very good until the half assed ending! (But PS: The kid is annoying and Tarzan can't act!)

I'm liking that both stories are entertaining here. The Sherlock one looks, at first, like it was going to be the best, what with the costumes, the tall hunk and all playing their parts well.

The other story, however, is "The Case Against Mr. Roarke" and one can't help but wonder why he'd let her go this far and then there's the odious Nicole Haggard (why couldn't it have been the cutie Heather O'Rourke returning!?) and that kid's is helluva annoying (foretelling what she was to become..!) so this kinda ruins this story for me. Still, you watch it for the actress playing the mother and for Roarke: why is he so congenial to that woman!?

The other story has Donald O'Connor (no, Mr. Otharevioo: it's NOT a cameo! Cameo is what Ricardo Montalban does, every time he appears in disguises, however, since he's the star of the show, that's hardly a cameo either! If Don O'C had played said disguised part, THEN it would be considered a cameo!) where was I? OH, yeah! As Watson.

The handsome hunk turns out to be quite a dud of an ineffective actor, but he's good to look at, if you're into that. All and all I gave this an 8/10 but the bad ending! Oh boy! I think I'm about to drop this one into a 7/10. The guy departs without his love interest, who was an evil woman, let me remind you, in the fantasy, drugging up Sherlock! And what about the other duo? Mother and child do not return home, but why? Roarke never said he's letting them live there, so please LEAVE and not a moment too soon!

Yeah, torn. It started off an 8/10 but with the bad acting (Tarzan stands there like a log when he says the bad guys are off to kill Sherlock, instead of "MOVE IT!!!") and the aforementioned rest... Yeah, I'm lowering the score to a 7/10. Sorry! ¯\_( o.o )_/¯
