This Friday on Voyagers! Episode 4: Agents of Satan

I agree with you pretty much right down the line, Charmed. This was great fun, and yes, the first thing I thought of was the Tubman chase scene. I think those were even the same dogs.

And when they dropped in just as she called for help from Heaven...well, in my earlier post I mentioned Laurmartin suggesting a Salem plot for The Time Tunnel. The variation I suggested was to have Tony and Doug drop in at just the wrong time and have some innocent girl accused of conjuring them up. Would have been a great plot for T&D to squirm out of, and now I actually got to see it with PB&J. (Hmmm...do they ever meet the Earl of Sandwich?) I couldn't help but get a kick out of seeing them actually do "my" idea.

The performances were generally good all around. The two ministers laid it on a bit thick, but the little girls were suitably bratty, Meeno did a much more convincing emotionally distraught performance, and Bogg is getting to be more than two-dimensional.

But, of course, we must have a nitpick. When they were tying Bogg to the stake, that sucker was swaying and moving all over the place. Bogg didn't need the Omni; he could have just walked away. No way that stake was gonna hold him.

I almost had two nitpicks. As I was watching the church scene at the end, I realized that they would have needed three panes of glass, not two. But then came the "gotcha" ending that "got" me as well. Nicely done.

The reason Bogg doesn't remember Franklin is that "Agents of Satan" was made before "Billy and Bully", although it was aired after.

The begotten of this thing you created are on the Kolchak board, wandering in the digital desert looking for a place to settle once the Bezos flood wipes this place out.

If you're still among the living, let'em know.

Night Gallery left a really bitter taste behind, didn't it? I mean, some things start to look good in retrospect, but the farther we get from Night Gallery, the worse it seemed to be.

I like it, and agree with just about everything the posters before you have said. I would disagree with the notion that anyone would actually want to approach the manifestations in the Salem church. I don't know many people even to this day who would run towards something like that instead of cringing or running away. Bogg and Jeffrey should have arranged to have the doors locked, the minute they were setting the illusion up I envisioned everyone running from the church screaming and yelling, I don't think they would have stuck around to hear what an apparition had to say.

It seems as the episodes go along, the limitations and functions of the Omni present more enigmas than before. When Bogg says "For us to miss again" after landing in the middle of a Zulu war opened a can of worms for me. Can they actually set Where they are going, or just When they are going? There doesn't seem to be a "where", and it seems either random or to a spot there are problems at that time. It was shown that using the current time results in nothing happening, so what's he do, go ahead a few minutes to escape...but wait, they would mean they're still in the hole, he puts in a different time and suddenly they're in Africa or wherever?

All this confusion didn't detract from the enjoyment though, I liked the episode. I was left wondering who stole the stairs going up the side of the cliff, they clearly showed the steps in the beginning, but by the end they had to climb the side of the cliff.

On the Voyagers scale, this one gets a 6, they're getting better.

I think our record breaking comments from last weeks episode must drained the crew.

She's only a year younger than Meeno so it was right for her to play one of the accusing girls. I think she played Betty, the one who started it all. The brat. LOL.

"ckocher made a comment about Shannon Doherty's credit. Who did she play?"

I think you just made my point about how crazy it is that she's touted on the back of the DVD box. ;)

As was pointed out, she's one of the accusing girls.

All I recognized was an actress who I had seen on "The Little House on the Prairie." Aside from that, I don't think I've ever seen her in anything else.

It doesn't seem anyone wants to address the "where" issue with the Omni. Best answer to that question is probably just shut up and suspend disbelief!

That harbor scene was in a movie, I just can't remember which one, but I know I've seen it before. Some pirate flick. The harbor looks like it was done with a matte painting and the ships were run aground long ago.
