Sleepers

Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: Seven Days: Season One: Sleepers
As the episode opens, Parker and Donovan are invited to an awards banquet for their old Navy SEAL team. All goes well until one of their colleagues is shot. It turns out that some Oriental guy is hypnotizing the members of the team to kill each other because of some kind of weapon based on radio waves they are developing. Parker backsteps, yada yada, overcomes the obligatory psychological warfare, and the episode ends with Parker waking up abruptly after some kind of nightmare and Olga comforting him in her arms…

As you can tell, I wasn't paying much attention to this episode because I just found it too darn boring. I am beginning to have doubts that the show will be renewed for another season. Oh well.

Oriental I believe the prefered term is Asian.

I agree this episode was not terrible exciting at all.

Actually not bad episode,the only question being
why'd they let Parker out without a security
escort?Remember in The Gettysburg Virus they
had a security detail go with him on the survival
course.
Obviously someone vetoed Ramsey!

I think Phil went into this a while ago, but…
Asian could actually refer to a nummber of nationalities. Russian, Indian, Filipino, Chinese, Japanese, etc. Of course, we usually just call Japanese/Chinese people Asian and call other people from the conitinent by their country, but Oriental is the correct term for people from China/Japan (if not the Politically Correct one. I hate being PC, but if people really feel that strongly about it, I will change the term I used.)

I actually did catch a nit (Between yawnings, of course...)
The first time the father goes to the hotel, he grabs his jacket off the chair and knocks a stuffed monkey to the floor. The second time, the monkey just shakes a little, but stays on the chair.

That was the backstep pushing air around. :)
I just want to know where the chronologically indigenous Parker ends up when he backsteps because there should be 2 of him during the shared time frame. (Then the perform the backstep with the original knowing what he knew to complete the cycle.)
Perhaps this is in one of the other episode threads. I'll look.

According to the Seven Days moderator, the following episode "Act of God" was never shown in the US because it happened too close to the time of the Waco massacre. The episode has, however, just been shown in Britain and was actually one of the better ones, IMO.
