DREAM WEAVER is an episode notable for two reasons. First off, it has a guest role for one of the most famous sci-fi actors working today, the inimitable Mark Hamill whose presence is a welcome one. Secondly, the plot is an open rip-off of ALIENS, with a heavily-armed team tracking a xenomorph through shadowy corridors with the aid of motion sensors. As such, this episode's an amusing one.

return of the suave jedi

Mark Hamill! Mark HAMILL!!! No really, this one's worth extra exclamation points. Mark (JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK, THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL) plays a blind super-genius scientist, who turns out to be an alien in hiding from tyranny and repression on his home world. Kent McCord (ADAM-12, AIRPLANE 2) is an astronaut who helps fight an alien assassin come to kill Mark. Mr. Hamill gets his suave on (and pulls it off without a single slice of cheese). Also a wonderful episode for Kathy Evison, as Helmswoman Henderson. If she keeps wearing tank tops, i may have to amend my comment about the number of new cast members who have any juice. That's not simple objectification...if she weren't a thoroughly charming performer, the contents of her uniform wouldn't merit mention.
