But I'm watching the heavily edited version on GET TV instead of Tubi, so who knows! Myself, I hate babies, plus romance stories usually bore me. As someone else said, the baby's peanut head and hairy face was beyond ugly. (I can say this: he's 43 now, and I' sure he looks much better!)
Let it be known that Herve Villechaize was Asian (possibly Filipino or Indonesian) and adopted as a baby by a family in France. So this was probably written especially for him. He seemed unusually emotional. Let it be known that Herve was a very good actor, and you can tell that when you compare him to Julie or the butler of seasons 6 & 7: Tattoo was greatly missed! Yes, he acted inappropriate towards women, but that was written in the script, and what transpired off camera is none of my business.
Highlights of the show:
Tattoo in an Olympian's outfit, complete with torch.
Mr Roarke holding a very tall glass with red punch, as his intro cocktail.
A closeup on toy Polynesian canoe, with the "sidecar" for balance and sail.
Mr. Roarke cheating at the Fantasy Island games (or was he?!)
For the rest, this episode was beyond boring. I regret to write this, because this was a significant episode for Villechaize, as it echoed his life, but it was soporific fluff. Barbi Benton was gorgeous as usual but her story couldn't have been less interesting.
Seems the writers were already running out of ideas here. But Montalban was always a joy to watch as Mr. Roarke and Herve was a great counterpart. 4/10 and regretfully cannot give it a 5. Watch it for those highlights, if you must.
