A very memorable episode. Highly watchable for the very creepy "boggy-mummy" if nothing else. In hindsight, can't believe they were allowed to air this, in 1980-81. Again, looking back, they must have shown caution in creating a somewhat rubbery, halloweeny mummy costume. Imagine going all the way on an 8 year old, ala' THE FOG or even Boris Karloff. And even still, I remember this ep. being very scarry. A very funny performance by AMANDA WYSS. Although, unintentional. But necessary in the light of a slimmy mummy running around accosting & kidnapping ppl. A few mistakes though. Buck defeats the mummy in hand-hand combat, even though the mummy ripps apart a door made of esp. strong alloys. Even for the very late 25th century. Also, Buck stays behind on a spooky, mysterious planet. Possibly, haunted by grotesque mummies. And Colonel Derring/Hawk not protesting. Or Hawk & a compliment of Searcher security police accompanying him. To end, this ep. is somewhat stimulating as it has a warped yet entrolling take on biology.
