David Banner's Tenderness Shines Through

10

By revbucky, Jul 21, 2008

Two stories become one in this touching account of a young widow and corrupt union leaders. David takes a job as a bartender at a struggling bar. His boss is a young widow whose late husband challenged shady doings in the leadership of the local 696 union (down on the waterfront).

David helps Josie (the young widow) deal with her grief and uncovers the real reason for her late husband's death. Of course Jack McGee shows up at just the wrong time and almost catches David (and the Hulk).

I love the scenes where both David and Josie share tender moments. You can't help but feel compassion for both of them as they help each other deal with their losses. It's a great episode and one of my favorites.moreless

End of Season One

6.0

By laynebruce, Apr 29, 2006

Not counting the season one leftover "A Child In Need" aired in season two, "The Waterfront Story" ends the first year of Hulk -- one that was filled with some great stories, some embarrassing filler and episodes that generally represent a stark contrast to later chapters.

Nevertheless, the episode is only average, with a plot that resembles many that will come after it. But guest stars James Sikking ("Hill Street Blues") and Sheila Larken, who'll go on to a recurring role in "The X-Files," give a fine performance.

Bixby's infrequent role as a romantic counterpart is again an interesting and satisfying twist in this otherwise unremarkable outing.
