As the dancing girls come hurrying down the stairs, the final girl stops to adjust her garter. Kind of convenient for the group of would-be assassins. I wonder what they would have done to grab her if she hadn't been distracted.Well, I also wonder what Dr Bey jabs her with, whether it merely knocks her out or worse.
It kind of amazes that they have can-can dancers energetically flipping up their skirts, yet the girls rarely show much. I wonder how they accomplished that. I assume this is a product of the sixties.
I wonder if that's the same cockatoo from Inferno.
Jim to T: Maybe if we're lucky, you'll stop the bullet. (My, wonder what their past dealings involved to inspire such a level of deep admiration?)
That blonde girl looks (to me) like she's less than thrilled to hear the sheik talk about attempts on his life.
Hmm. The girls are showing a lot more during the end of the can-can than they were earlier. (Now I'm the one who's less than thrilled.)
Man, Jim & Artie are Johnny-on-the-spot to intercept and get rid of that garter! And then the teaser ends with Jim knocked onto the floor when the garter explodes!
One thing about Ecstasy, she's no shrinking violet! Jim pops into the carriage with her and her employer, and she takes charge of the conversation with Jim.
And man does that ring work quickly!
Strait jacket, how nice of them. But why doesn't Christopher merit an introduction as well?
Traction? That's what Dr Bey calls suspending someone upside-down in a strait jacket?
So... Bey hands the tambourine to Ecstasy without warning her beforehand about the razor-sharp edges on it? Yeah, he's a wonderful guy to work for.
One thing I do like about Bey is that he has such confidence in Ecstasy. And one thing I like about Ecstasy is how horrified she is at Bey's death. As for Christopher, I suppose that's why he smirked so when Dr Bey said that line to Jim about it being worth Bey's life to kill the Emir!
Jim's escape from dangling upside-down in the strait jacket is just amazing to watch. :-)
Ecstasy is a lovely dancer, and of so many styles.
I thought the sheik's two girlfriends looked familiar, so I checked: one of them was a saloon girl in Steel Assassin and also the blonde lieutenant in the tag of Assassin, and the other was one of the three green girls from Flying Pie Plate.
Wow, someone had it in for Roman busts in this episode. (It looks like the exact same one both times.)
The Emir is an idiot.
I always get a kick out of seeing Artie ditch his drink, then pretend to savor it.
My but Ecstasy fights like a wildcat when Artie grabs her and relieves her of that knife! He's grinning pretty big by the end of the fight -- until the other guys show up.
(This wasn't the first time Ross worked with Yvonne Craig. She had previously been on an episode of Mr Lucky.)
Bless his heart, Artie was going to take on all five guys. Pity one of them had a blackjack.
I'm not fond of T, but I do like his line: It should be illegal to feel this rotten and not have a variety of loathsome memories to cherish.
He really chugalugged that drink, didn't he? *shudders*
I'm very fond of Artie's special glasses. I keep sticking them into various fanfictions.
Ooo, look at the weapon that one guy chooses! It's that nasty blade Bolt had in Torture Chamber!
T's foyer shows up in a LOT of other episodes. And Jim has a great fight scene all up and down the stairs.
You know, when they snatched the Emir, I didn't remember them taking his two girlfriends as well. And yet, here they are again at T's house. Oh, and now there are three girls!
Ok, and now I'm wondering if Ecstasy could really get that kind of sound when stamping her feet on a carpet. But the dance is beautiful, and so is the dress.
Um... is Jim supposed to be flattered by T's offer for Jim to join the Assassins Club?
T is such a charming rotter, isn't he?
Ok, why is Jim so interested in playing kissy face?
Aha! So he can find Ecstasy's pressure point!
But why her prettiness should be a factor in whether or not she goes around killing people is beyond me. What, ugly girls are allowed to murder??
This is one of Artie's more successful disguises. Even when I know it's him, it's hard for me to recognize him under all the makeup and robes. (And where did he have all this stuff handy anyway?)
I get tickled by the way Artie starts to do the obeisance to the Emir, then catches himself and quits.
One thing I wonder is why doesn't the captive in the cage stick an arm out that window? It looks to me like that's possible.
Big fight time and Artie's out cold in the corner. Yep, it's first season.
Fights dirty, that T.
But I love how, at the end, when T knows what is inevitably going to happen, when he knows he's been hoist by his own petard, he straightens his frilly cuffs and shrugs philosophically.
Cockatoo again.
By the way, where are they in the tag? Is that the same place as at the beginning where she danced the can-can? If so, why are they there? I mean, it's a cute scene and all, though it's not at all clear to me if Ecstasy is under arrest or is being let off scot-free (as happened to so many villainesses in the first season). I love watching Artie play piano. (Ross the magnificent faker!)
And I do love the 'Enemies forever' line!
Right at the very end though, Artie looks upset. I'm not sure why.
