The Burning Zone 1x08 "Hall of the Serpent"

★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

Nicholas Lea. Ideas in search of a plot. Team goes undercover at resort of shady healer. He’s an interesting villain but they accomplish nothing, are soon found out and need to be rescued by Cassian at the end. Cassian could have just gone in at the start of the episode. I liked this one, but it moved too slowly and the undercover aspect was pointless. Nov 1996: UPN Tuesday after Homeboys in Outer Space. Against Home Improvement + Spin City (ABC); CBS Tuesday Movie; Fox Tuesday Night Movie; Frasier + Caroline in the City (NBC). 6/10

The Burning Zone 1x11 "Midnight of the Carrier"

★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

Tim O'Connor, Alan Scarfe. Interesting but underdeveloped story–writer: Carleton Eastlake (The Equalizer)–about mysterious power gems hidden inside an old man by Nazi scientists. They temporarily give Marcase (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) the ability to see evil people! The good guys must go on the run because, after their lab is attacked, they don’t know who they can trust. Jan 1997: UPN Tuesday after Homeboys in Outer Space. Against Home Improvement + Spin City (ABC); CBS Tuesday Movie; Fox Tuesday Night Movie; Frasier + Caroline in the City (NBC). 6/10
