- TriviaThe Beechcraft 2000 Starship seen at the beginning is a very rare aircraft. There are only about 5 registered worldwide.
- GoofsThe aircraft interior is far more spacious and is shaped differently than the actual interior of the Beechcraft Starship airplane shown in the exterior flying footage. The cabin walls of a real Starship slant inwards steeply and it is only possible for an adult to stand fully upright in the narrow sunken center aisle.

Domestic violence and murder
Have always been quite fond of 'Murder She Wrote'. It is a fun and relaxing watch that makes you think as you try to unwind in the evening. If one wants more complex, twisty mysteries with lots of tension and suspense 'Murder She Wrote' may not be for you, but if you want something light-hearted and entertaining but still provide good mysteries 'Murder She Wrote' fits the bill just fine.
Subject matter-wise, "Terminal Connection" is not the easiest of watches, the subject of domestic violence never is (the worst thing to happen in a relationship/marriage ever) but for a show that typically is light in tone it seemed somewhat heavier than usual. This is not a bad thing, because it is handled well and not distastefully or out of place within the general tone of the show and also it is a subject that is very much important and relevant.
The only thing that lets "Terminal Connection" down a little is that once one adds up all the clues together, a couple of them one is surprised at how obvious they are, the identity of the killer and what really happened is not a surprise at all.
On the other hand, Angela Lansbury continues to go strong, and she is particularly well supported by Chad Everett at his most brutish, Steve Forrest (a frequent guest star who is never less than good, the same applies here) and best of all a truly excellent Lois Nettleton (was very moved by her performance here).
Mystery-wise, "Terminal Connection", apart from the unsurprising ending, is a good one, it at least engages and intrigues.
Production values are slick and stylish as ever. The music has energy and has presence but also not making the mistake of over-scoring, while it is hard to forget or resist the theme tune. The writing is thoughtful, cosy and light-hearted while taking itself seriously as well.
In conclusion, a solid effort. 8/10 Bethany Cox
