Manimal #3

Yep, folks - I've been watching Manimal again. Tonight's episode is "Night Of The Scorpion", and it's rather a good one. Mind you, only two "proper" episodes in, and I'm already sick to the back teeth of that blasted voiceover at the beginning. It's awful! Mr Deepest Voice In Television, proclaiming a lot of twaddle about who Jonathon is. Thing is, on paper it sounds good. "A man with the darkest of pasts." You could make so much of that. Probably would today. Which leads part of me to wish that somebody would remake it, and part of me to scream and hide at the very suggestion. There's so much scope for more depth in this show, particularly with the wilder side of Jonathon's nature. More of that in later episodes, though - you might see what I mean then.
