(1) Operation ...These are my favorite Missions....<br /><br />(1) Operation Rogosh - Deadly bacteria bombs have been set around Los Angeles. The IMF team just has two days to crack the mastermind that placed them and he's (Fritz Weaver) a hard nut to crack. Great season one thriller to stop a mass murder simply known as "The Monster". Steven Hill stars as IMF leader, Dan Briggs.<br /><br />(2) The Mind of Stefan Miklos - Steve Ihnat plays a super foreign brilliant intelligence officer (Miklos) sent to America to determine whether one of their top agents (Townsend) who has infiltrated U.S. Intelligence has correct information or if Townsend's contact (Simpson)..who says Townsend is a defector and a traitor...is telling the truth. The IMF knows Simpson's info is valid and must concoct a meticulous plan that will cause Miklos to deduct that Simpson is the one NOT to trust. Absolutely..outstanding season three episode.<br /><br />(3) The Exchange - A rare occurrence for MI as one of IMF's finest (Cinnamon) is captured behind enemy lines...and the IMF must find a way to trade a top enemy spy but fool him in releasing vital information quickly before the ememy's chief of intelligence breaks and kills Cinnamon. One of series creator Bruce Geller's all-time favorites and is from season three.<br /><br />(4) The Legacy - The IMF takes on a mission to infiltrate a ring of Nazis (top Nazi officers offspring...really) that have portions of an account number that lead to Adolph Hitler's personal fortune. The location of the fortune proves quite surprising as the IMF races against the 4th Reich Officers' Ring to find the treasure. Another great first season thriller and great Woodfield/Balter script.<br /><br />(5) The Frame - The Syndicate's top boss, Wellman (Simon Oakland) decides that the execution of US goverment elected officials will bring a drastic increase for Syndicate revenue. The IMF must figure out a way to have Wellman stopped since he's legally "above the law". Another great Woodfield and Balter script from the first season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-43702782887469079832013-04-13T22:50:18.584-04:002013-04-13T22:50:18.584-04:00Our resident M:I expert says it's called "...Our resident M:I expert says it's called "Submarine" and is from Season 4.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-15926564881681959592013-04-12T14:37:01.046-04:002013-04-12T14:37:01.046-04:00What is the name of the episode where they are int...What is the name of the episode where they are interrogating a guy on a submarine with the impression they are deep under water, and after he tells them what they want to know, it turns out the submarine was above ground, sitting in a warehouse the whole time?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-84895521857173734702013-04-12T14:34:10.513-04:002013-04-12T14:34:10.513-04:00Thanks for the episode descriptions.
