The return of an old Nemesis - Doctor Dolenz - from episode "Day of the Robot" is the main storyline here for the final episode of series one of the Six Million Dollar Man.
Not much sense in this one to be honest - it seems it was a way of working in a bit of horse riding for Lee Majors (a kickback to his time in the The Big Valley). Doctor Dolenz and his backer - Mr. Rossi - "observe" Steve over the course of a few weeks before trying to capture him, examine him and use him as a blueprint for an army of bionic robots that they plan to build. You just gotta love these plots? Steve goes to an old friend's ranch for some much needed R&R and whilst there befriends a pretty ranch girl. It is not too much of a stretch to see that the actress never made it very far in TV or cinema - she is no Streep that's for sure. Anyway, a few scrapes and an escape later, Steve finishes the season walking side by side his old buddy Oscar.
A poor end to an up and down season to be honest. Some good episodes and some poor ones mixed in. With Steve's bionics and super-agent-like job, the possibilities are endless for what he could get up to in his adventures. There is no stopping this guy and he has literally been all over the world - and space for that matter.
Series 1 was enjoyable fare and just about did enough for me to purchase a series 2 boxset - but only if it is at a knockdown price.
