I thought an episode by episode review of season one would be interesting, so let's be about it:
The Pilot--I had seen some season one episodes on METV, but I didn't see the pilot until 2013, when I bought the DVD set.
I thought it was very good. It explained the show's concept very well, they handled the plot's major hitch (Wally Cox's character Terry breaking his hands, which meant that Dan had to go into the vault) well, and the last scene where the team is driving to the airport to board the airplane was great.
The one thing that really threw me, though, is when Cinnamon comes out of the General's bedroom wearing only a towel that barely covered what needed to be covered. This is NOT a criticism of Barbara Bain or Bruce Geller. The main reason that my jaw fell to the ground is that scene, even though it's very brief, is that I couldn't believe that you could do that on network tv in 1966.
Any other thoughts or opinions?

Well ... on that "other" board now extinct, many posters tried to find Mission: Impossible connections to Star Trek. It starts with The Pilot. Eddie Paskey had a non-speaking role as one of the hotel patrons putting an item in the infamous safe. Paskey was Shatner's Captain-Kirk's-stunt-double. Sounds like the start of new thread to me. Maria? Jayhn1111?
