THE WILD WILD WEST is still one of the coolest shows in TV history, but this one has too many flaws. First, the supporting cast who are supposed to be French all speak in a clichéd 'Pepe LePew' accent. Plot-wise, the holes in the story could have easily been remedied by a couple more rewrites. As it is, for once you can actually out-think West and Gordon as they solve the plot (they make some really stupid mistakes in this script, which imho diminishes their hero status). Lastly, the dialogue is very, very predictable. You already have the words in your head that the characters are going to say before they even open their mouths. Even a magnificent series like this has to produce an occasional lemon. Sadly, this episode is way below par.
