Review and Media by Stu
Dr. Octopus makes his long awaited return! I thought it took them a helluva a long time to come back to Octavious. This episode isn't anywhere near as good as the season premiere, but it's still not too bad an outing.

I was particularly impressed with the fight for the missile. This show was never anything like The Batman when it comes to fight staging, but it did a pretty good job. It's clear from watching the fights that they were playing for laughs though. They didn't have the budget for much else.

They didn't do a great job with Ock, but his arrogant scientist persona managed to find it's way to the small screen.
