Synopsis
The Impossible Mission Force head to the home front in series five of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE. While previous series pitted these Cold War warriors against international goons, the show's later series increasingly found the crack squad of saboteurs using their gadgets and cunning to foil more native threats: drug cartels hooking Americans on dope and mobsters using their collective power to evade justice. The result is more time spent by Jim (Peter Graves), Barney (Greg Morris), Willy (Peter Lupus), and Paris (Leonard Nimoy) in the good old USA stanching the flow of drugs and busting the Syndicate, bit by bit. All through their daredevil adventures, the team's skills still prove razor-sharp--especially with the help of a foxy new member, Dana Lambert (Lesley Ann Warren). This collection presents all 23 episodes of the show's thrilling fifth series. The clock's ticking...

5.0 out of 5 stars MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE #5: The Hip Revolution!, 18 Jan 2009
By Thomas Rucki (Paris, France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Good evening. This is the fifth season (1970-1971) of "Mission: Impossible" which is fully produced by Bruce Lansbury from season 4 and supervised by top writer Laurence Heath who, nevertheless, produces six episodes. Here is a complete revision of the series because of its ideological shift through a leaning towards the thematics of the youth movement (for instance: students' agitators and radicals in "Takeover", NLF guerrillas in "The Rebel", far left terrorists in "The Hostage" and subversive revolutionaries in "Blast").

You will find some deep changes: a new-hip-younger "regular" leading lady named Dana Lambert (played by Lesley Ann Warren) introduced in "Flip Side" (in which she performs two folk songs), a replacement of Willy in twelve episodes out of twenty three via a young physician named Doug Robert and also named Doug Lang (played by Sam Elliott), a faster-harder-urgent urban main theme music (moreover, four episodes contain the original main theme music), no more multi-part episodes, a recursive portable gadget used to stun that can be described as a "golden needle ring" (created by writer Ken Pettus in a season 4 episode of "The Wild Wild West" and introduced in a late MISSION season 4 entitled "The Crane", and over-used by producer Bruce Lansbury), no dossier scenes, a dramatic prologue-teaser followed directly by the tape scene before the opening credits, downbeat and realistic kind of narratives with accidents and failures, assignments in progress, improvisations, and caught up agents. The fashion design of the team is also renewed and reflects the trend (casual or outrageous) of the 1970's: pay attention to Jim's outfits (suits and sunglasses) during the tape scenes which will blossom from season 6.

Anyway, two of the series' main ingredients remain: a master of disguises (Paris) and foreign intrigues (around sixteen). Actor Leonard Nimoy shines again in these offerings: brainwashed Fred Stark in "My Friend, My Enemy", Kabuki performer Nakamura Taizo in "Butterfly", abducted business man Walter A. Phelan in "The Hostage", criminal Alfredo Sanchez/old convict Martin Sanchez in "The Catafalque", professional gambler Harry Kroll in "The Merchant". You'll still discover top episodes: the masterpiece "The Killer" (guest starring Robert Conrad), "The Innocent" (a controversial plot re-written by Laurence Heath that calls into question the methods of the IMFers who blackmail a young "hippie" scientist so that he works with them), "Flight" (guest starring John Colicos), "The Catafalque" (written by scripts genius Paul Playdon and guest starring John Vernon) and good ones: "My Friend, My Enemy" (guest starring Peter Mark Richman), "The Merchant" (guest starring George Sanders), "The Hostage" (guest starring Lou Antonio), "The Amateur" (guest starring Anthony Zerbe), "The Missile" (guest starring David Sheiner), "The Party", "The Field". As in season 4, intimistic stories centered around IMFers return: Paris ("My Friend, My Enemy" in which we learn his past as a magician), Jim ("Homecoming" in which we get a glimpse of his hometown and his family background), Barney ("Cat's Paw" in which we meet his brother). The music scores are powerful: "The Killer and "Takeover" by Lalo Schifrin and "The Rebel" by Hugo Montenegro.

3.0 out of 5 stars All change..., 7 April 2009
By W. Beckett (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a great Mission Impossible fan right from childhood. (Showing my age, I remember running around my grandfather's house just to see it in colour!) I have to grudgingly concede that this is perhaps the turning point that marked the decline of the series. In fact Bruce Geller who created the show was literally booted off the series at this point. For me highlights do still include 'The Killer' and 'The Amateur' just to see how the IMF team manage to fly out of any hostile country with their ill-gotten gains. And 'Decoy' 'Flight' 'The Catafalque' and 'The Field' do also offer the brief florishes as to what originally made the series great. But unfortunately the best stories have already been done. And the lesser stories suffer even more with the show's obvious cut in meticulous care and budget. Nothing against Lesley Ann Warren either, but because of her youth, she is hopelessly mis-cast. And Leonard Nimoy - by now totally disillusioned with his part let's his boredom show. Don't get me wrong, series 5 is still watchable despite it's moments of cringe inducing dialogue at times too. But for those who really enjoyed the dovetailed convolutions of series 1 to 3 and even 4? I'm afraid you'll probably be mourning the less clever and the less tightly structured nature of the show.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mother of all thrillers!, 9 Mar 2009
By Ms. L. P. Candarlioglu "Pelin" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
MI Season 5 is for everyone who can appreciate the beauty of late 60s and early 70s. This season is full of scenes which later become prototype of every good Hollywood spy films. It is a real classic and without the exaggerated special effects of our time, everything seems more realistic.Definitely must be seen!
