So i told the wife at 8 O'Clock, i was like, i got to watch at least one episode of fantasy island cause i m way behind and we got a Devils OIler game at 9 pm. she yelled at me that its stupid and we watched Daniel Tiger for the kid instead. i looked at hte DVR and saw this one that i swore i watched before and another one i did wathc. Ut ho, only been watching these since June and I"m in reruns.
This episode was all right. the one guy was a ghost hunter, i liked that. I was hoping he would do a darker episode and go to a house with sheets over the furniture and cobwebs. i was unlucky in that. He ended up at a school of girls who play soccer ( and trample tattoo which was nice ). So Tattoo was scared on the island, i bet Mr Belevedere would be all kick ass if he was doing the side kick role. God i hate tattoo. SO the ghost is the gentle man strangler, he strangles women, which for some reason makes the guys scared but the woman seem to be all like "oh hey i heard a noise in this haunted house so i came down stairs alone to check up on you guys". speaking of stupid anyone notice the house had a back ground of a desert mountain. that's not Hawaii, but who cares. So the guys always like " i m expert (on whatever situation is on hand) but i read about it" i like d that. So he does his ghost hunting with that hot chic, its hard ghost hunting with a hot chic you want to make out with. makes it dumb, dumber than those ghost shows i see on TV all the time that make me believe less in ghosts every time i watch them.
So long story short, the one guy other than them you see, Larry STorch , is the bad guy pretending to be a ghost with his Epee (épée is a fencing sword, good to know if you do crosswords puzzles, its like there all the time , due to it's abundance of the popular letter e). SO anyhow the guy, that was supposedly a ghost at the end who directs the guy who I'm not sure of cause i was flicking back and forth for a hockey game , tells the guy to go to the cemetery and find a cave and wallah, its Larry storch as the bad guy. Larry storch has the guy on the ground with an épée to his neck and lets him get up, tells him he didn't expect him to get this far an then lets him run to get a épée so they can duel, then he loses. Idiot.
THe other story was the love one, about a mom who gave up her twins for adoption and desires to wish them a happy 30th birthday. I was hoping at first this was the dark episode and they were dead and at a house with sheets over the furniture and cobwebs but they were just given up for adoption and mom was now meeting them who were there for some reason that i forget. The daughter was nice but she was not age 30. I'm 39 and felt she looked old. The son was some dude who got an offer form the Los Angles Rams to have a tryout for what Mr Rourke called a "Field Goal specialist" (Though they kick kickoffs too).
i find the upper review from Stones interesting, i know he is very knowledgeable about actors and such and figured he may have had a Hollywood production job. His love of the Rams but only the LA Rams helps confirm this. Damn his Rams. As a Buccaneer fan , they are a pain in the ass, the ST LOuis ones in my time and I'm too young but in 1981-ish Rams kept my Bucs from the Superbowl on a rainy 9-0 game. Stone up there is naming every Ram he saw. All stupid jerks, anyhow, he looked like an idiot in his rams helmet. Way too big, he looked like Chris SImms on the Bucs (does stoner still watch football and get that?) anyhow it became a mushy episode and the pregnant dauthger is like "i have no other option other than adoption" which surprised me, you got the aborting, though i personally think its murder but whatever, probably best not to make that an option in a 1978 Fantasy Island episode, and it went the way you think, everyone was happy , everyone was forgiving and loved, and NO PERSON was aborted. Go bucs. Devils would go on to lose 5-1 while trying to watch this episode. again.
I'd like to add, this sites spell check has to be the absolute worst, and i mean worst i ever saw. the words they suggest ....
