Summary
Deconstructed
Quotes
Steve: You may make Guiness Book of Records. First hijack of a nuclear sub.
Morgan: I held a, briefly, a desk job at the Pentagon. I heard rumors about you after the crash. I didn't pay much attention. I thought they were so far-fetched.
Cynthia: Yes dad?
Morgan: Go and fetch that highly sensitive radiation counter and check him out.
Cynthia: I don't understand.
Morgan: Check out his arms and his legs and see if there is a radiation reading above the background level.
Cynthia: It's way above normal.
Morgan: Yeah. We are entertaining a bionic man. The first and perhaps only one. Those rumors I heard stopped abruptly. I realize now that somebody put the lid on. Top secret, right?
Steve: That's your diagnosis.
Oscar: The Stingray is in enemy hands, gentlemen. And it's armed.
Prescott: If there's any evidence nuclear missiles are going aboard that sub, she's got to be blasted out of the water, whether Steve Austin is aboard or not. You know that.
Oscar: Please, a little more time.
Prescott: A little more time won't help, and we can't spare a lot more time. I'm sorry, Oscar. I'm ordering the Stingray to be depth-charged and destroyed.
Trivia
Cast
- Steve sports a new shag-like 'do which he will keep for the remainder of the series, as well as into his next series, the Fall Guy
- Rudy Wells appears in a new denim jacket that would become a Rudy staple for the last year of both shows
- Pamela Hensley previously appeared in Season 4's "The Ultimate Imposter."
- William Sylvester's Admiral Prescott returns here from "U-509." Sylvester had also previously appeared in "Outrage in Balinderry" as Frederick Collins.
Equipment
- The nuclear sub Stingray was also used in part three of "Kill Oscar" to launch Steve and Jaime Sommers on their assault upon Dr. Franklin's lab.
- Notice that the number of the sub is 509 as was the old sub that was in season 4.
Gaffes
- When Steve and the crew start abandoning the sub, they are not wearing dive masks. But as they exit the sub, they somehow have them on.
- They show 3 men left in the sub, but only 2 come out the escape hatch. What happened to the last guy?
