Silk Stalkings

Just got finished watching the 1st season of Silk Stalkings on DVD. Now I know what you're thinking - "Hey, dweeb, why are you watching that?" Well, kind person, I'm watching it because 1) My better half likes it, and 2) It has fallen under this category for me - "Stuff I'll watch if it's on". Is it campy? Totally. Ben Vereen redeems a lot in this series (I don't think he was in the second season).

Is it good? Meh, it's ok. Very colorful (I haven't seen outfits like that since some concerts I played at.....not that I would know about wearing them.....um, yeah). Sometimes the plot can get a bit out of hand. In any event, it's not THAT bad.

Anyway, expect to see more here from stuff like Star Blazers (if I ever get to watching the rare 3rd season) and Trnasformers (if I ever get to watching the rare "Headmasters" from Japan).

Trevor, a short con handpicked by Danny, attempts to make the team. Reluctantly, Mickey agrees and fills him on the team's next target: A notorious Nigerian businessman named Anthony Mgube, who is into collecting rare bank notes. The original plan is to take pictures of an identical note (owned by a widow), while creating a fake and pawning it as an original for an asking price of 500,000 pounds. But when Trevor loses the note, the team kicks him out. Trevor, in his greed, decides to buy the note from the widow (who doesn't want to sell) and bring it to Mgube, pocketing all of the profits.

On the other side, Stacie fights with a bank over 85 pounds that was taken from her account as an overcharge. She enlists the services of Albert to help her extract revenge on the bank. How do these two plotlines converge? Brilliantly. Trevor's greed ultimately becomes his undoing, as the Hustle team is always one step ahead of things, as the team extracts revenge on both Trevor and the bank in one of the better plot twists that you'll see.

The second season of Hustle has some of the best episodes of the entire run, and this episode is no exception.

Good episode, although the drama of the Wave Engine felt hacked on a bit. Still, it adds a bit of character development, specifically with Kodai and Okita. We start seeing how the characters will interact with each other, and we get a first glimpse of the Argo's ultimate weapon - the Wave Motion Gun.
