Quite honestly I don’t have a problem with Kimo and Lori sitting in the car while Howell gets kidnapped. For whatever reason it doesn’t bother me. If I recall correctly Howell didn’t want them inside the house right? So while outside how would they suspect that a band of vigilantes would abduct him by climbing up a cliff face in the back? I suppose they could have posted an HPD cop at the bottom of the cliff but that’s kind of stretching it. I’m ok with the way it’s presented.
I like the idea of these vigilantes and their Latin codes of justice. The country club setting, the fencing, the archery, Robert Reed, and the jungle hunt at the end all work for me! It’s obviously not better than “Mother’s Deadly Helper” but for a season 12 episode it ain’t bad. Ain’t bad at all! Plus a good score by Bruce Broughton.
