Card syndrom

I don't particularely crave for the NEW AVENGERS series, but I must admit that there are some good episodes in it. Very different from the previous seasons, or may I say AVENGERS series. Different doesn't necessarily means worse, just different. This story of "sleeping" agents suddenly woke up bring us unusual situations, such as this one with John Steed with a sweetheart of his who is just about to kill him. Watch out for his face at this moment. But after all, this kind of topic could have been told in the previous AVENGERS shows. Just the making and directing change quite a bit. And do not miss the tribute to former John Steed's partners Cathy Gale, Emma Peel and Tara King...
