They wrote in ankle injuries over the next few episodes to cover that up. His foot was still injured by "Private Dancer," so they basically shot his foot full of painkillers. The crap that man went through for his art...

This is one of those episodes like Miss Deep South that gets bonus points for me because it's one I have fond memories of watching often with my mother.Nicholas Sweedohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00437092592253460266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-91095338408894396812016-08-13T01:05:21.545-05:002016-08-13T01:05:21.545-05:00I didn't care for this one at all.

Hard for me to buy that the show's director was flipping out on the set but his frustration seemed to stem over everything except the fact that "Future Boy" was badly flubbing his lines and humming through that commercial that he was supposed to be singing. I guess Moe's early theories on time travel were pretty cool and the reading of the letter from a "young Sam Beckett" were a nice touch, but nothing else in the hour interested me. In fact, the whole premise that Sam was supposed to stop Moe from getting hit by a train just completely dissolved at the end when it stopped being narratively convenient. I'm putting this one way down there between "Play It Again, Seymour" and "Good Night, Dear Heart".<br /><br />As for the cast, Richard Herd who played Moe/Captain Galaxy was best known for playing Mr. Wilhelm, an executive for the New York Yankees, on "Seinfeld" but well before that was the captain on "T.J. Hooker" for the first two seasons. As for Alan Fudge, funny how a mustache can change someone's appearance. I'm not sure I'd have recognized him here either if not for seeing his name in the opening credits.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04953380288384883179noreply@blogger.com
