As in TNOT Deadly Bed, so here, we have supposedly French characters who can't pronounce 'Monsieur' correctly. Also, the botanist lady in quoting a French saying, comes out with 'Toujours femme, toujours surprises' -- but she uses the English pronunciation for 'surprises'! *grrr*
Well, another thing that annoys me is that the scientist lady is wearing such a fine fancy dress under her lab coat, along with dangly earrings. Me, I wouldn't want to wear anything expensive in a lab since it might get ruined from spills, not to mention that the earrings might get hung on something and that would hurt!
Artie's Great-Aunt Maude makes her first appearance in this episode, and as Artie is quoting her, the camera is on Jim, who is rolling his eyes!
The little light-bulb shaped item that shows up again and again in this episode is a nifty little scientific device. My brother had one when we were kids. The name of the item escapes me, but it has little vanes painted white on one side and black on the other. When light shines on the vanes, the black sides absorb the heat from the light faster than the white sides do, and this causes the little vanes to spin around. The stronger the light, the faster they spin. So when Jim sneaks into the botany lab toward the end of the episode and is shining his lantern on the device to watch for the vanes to spin because, in the story, the spinning of the vanes indicates the presence of the missing franconium, the vanes are actually spinning because Jim/Robert Conrad is shining the light on them!
Some of the shots Amalie fires should have hit Jim in the back, and his bullet-proof vest is shown to be only for the front. But what I wonder is how did Artie know what Jim was doing? How could they have planned for interrogating the girl?
Artie is starting to show himself as a scientist and as Jim's Q. The chemical leach scene is so cute, and later the five-minute breathing device scene as well. Both times Jim rushes to Artie's aide thinking his partner's in trouble, and both times it turns out Artie's just testing a new device. And of course both devices turn out to be essential to saving Jim's life later in the episode.
In the amusement park, there are a bunch of little girls in big hats being chaperoned by a nun -- and I think of Madeleine!
Now, for some reason in the early 60's, no one on tv could have a belly button. The show I Dream of Jeannie, for example, famously had to be sure that Jeannie the Genie's navel did not show. And the same is true for WWW. In the five-minute breathing device scene in this episode, Artie's navel is covered. Any time throughout the series when Jim has his shirt off, you can't see his navel. Well, in the amusement park scene of this episode, there's a belly dancer up on a stage, wiggling and shimmying -- and she has no navel! She has some sort of jeweled decoration glued to her tummy, hiding her belly button from view. Man, they took that rule seriously!
The tag reuses some shots from the teaser, particularly the shot of Jim opening the door while wearing his longer coat. But when he steps through to the other side, he's in a bolero jacket instead.
At least Artie gets a girl this time too!
