M.A.S.K. [Mobile Armored Strike Kommand] 85 -- 86 [Disc 8] Episode 75: Cliff Hanger by AverageMansReviews

M.A.S.K. [Mobile Armored Strike Kommand] 85 -- 86 [Disc 8] Episode 75: Cliff Hanger by AverageMansReviews















Review Time: this episode is mixed, but I have a lot said about this episode

5 things about this episode

V.E.N.O.M. demonstration: at the beginning of this episode there are these voice-over elements by Miles Mayhem [the leader of V.E.N.O.M.] over these scenes or sequences showing what some of his members of his group can do with their weapon systems/vehicles.

Character developments: now as far as I am concerned, they have left it too late [way, way too late for these kind of things,] such as the back story or some of it between Miles Mayhem and Matt Tracker [the leader of M.A.S.K.] and I just have to point out when was it common knowledge that these two characters are in control of these two groups individually, because most people seem to know it.

Racing/Action sequences: these elements are good

Ending message: in a nutshell it is this; when leaving your dog in your car leave a small gap in the window for the temperature to stay cool , because if not your dog will get hot and wouldn't be able to breathe

This episode receives: 54% approval, now if there were more episodes to come I would say it would have plenty to work with here, but as this is the final episode from my unbiased perspective they kind of rushed everything, let me put it this way I could easily justify just another two episodes using the formula of part 1 and 2 and call it "The Final Battle" and as this is the final episode I just wanted to say there are new weapon systems/vehicles which have either wheels or  caterpillar-tracks on them  or something else, by the way if I have missed something out about these newest weapon systems or in some cases weapons systems/vehicles I think it would be a good time just to point out I never discuss everything in any project, but you will see the newest weapon systems or weapon systems/vehicles in the later episodes.

M.A.S.K. [Mobile Armored Strike Kommand] 85 -- 86 [Disc 8] Episode 74: The Battle for Baja by AverageMansReviews















Review Time: this episode is good

5 things about this episode

Racing elements/Action sequences: these elements are good

Character developments: now at the beginning of this episode and at different stages there are elements to suggest that if these two characters were not on two different sides, they may have in another world got along [okay when you come to watch this episode if these two characters were on the same side anyway, there connection to one another would have been hit or miss as it relates to them getting along. The reason why I am discussing this in such depth is to make this point; why do this kind of groundwork for future episodes when there is only one episode left.

Underground elements: these elements are good as well

Ending message: in a nutshell it is this; if you smell gas firstly open a window, secondly call the Gas Company and finally and most importantly don't light a match. This is another occasion where I should just say this; disclaimer if anything goes wrong in any of these situations, I will not be held responsible I am just simply talking about these ending messages and nothing more.

This episode receives: 60% approval, this episode is comfortably interesting throughout.

M.A.S.K. [Mobile Armored Strike Kommand] 85 -- 86 [Disc 8] Episode 73: High Noon  by AverageMansReviews















Review Time: this episode is good

5 things about this episode

Racing elements/Action sequences: these elements are good

No-show list: the M.A.S.K. computer and this is just a little list.

Underground elements: at least these elements are something different and not only that they are good as well.

Ending message: in a nutshell this ending message is this: wear a helmet [in this example Scott is sitting on T-Bob,] the first thing I should point out is this; this message is very important for health and safety reasons. But the second thing I want to say is this; I could be wrong, in fairness I cannot remember all of these episodes, just to cover my own back if he has done it is only for very rare occasions [but I am at least 85% sure] I think Scott has never worn a helmet whilst sitting on T-Bob before this ending message and in the opening credits to this TV program Scott is on T-Bob at some point and he still isn't wearing a helmet.

This episode receives: 70% approval, now let's be fair this episode does have many interesting to good elements to work with and it does stick to its plan and after many previous episodes which were mixed I am just happy to have one episode that has some kind of push behind it going forward from beginning to end.

M.A.S.K. [Mobile Armored Strike Kommand] 85 -- 86 [Disc 8] Episode 72: For One Shining Moment by AverageMansReviews















Review Time: this episode is mixed

5 things about this episode

Motorsports/Action sequences: the first thing I want to say is this; yes the racing sequences or the Demolition Derby [in the interest of fairness, because I haven't seen the next episodes if they wanted to put on another Derby, that would be interesting, but just one more, because I think they have only done one Demolition Derby at this point anyway] or anything other are good elements, but the second thing I want to say is this; they are getting a bit tiresome now, but the action sequences are still good.

Split-screens: these are small elements to this episode but they are good.

No-show list: Scott, T-Bob, the M.A.S.K. computer and this is just a little list.

Ending message: in a nutshell, in an earthquake situation go and stand in a door frame or underneath a table. Now this does feel like one of those situations where I should use one of these; disclaimer if you are ever in one of these situations, I will not be held responsible for anything that goes wrong [if it does] I am just simply talking about this ending message and nothing more [and this goes for any ending message that appears in any TV program I review.]

This episode receives: 52% approval, as I have already said in one way or another in this review there are some good elements, but these episodes need some form of freshening up even if it is just to get us over the finishing line [the end of this TV series.]

M.A.S.K. [Mobile Armored Strike Kommand] 85 -- 86 [Disc 8] Episode 71: Challenge of the Masters by AverageMansReviews















Review Time: this episode is mixed

4 things about this episode

Racing elements/Action sequences: these elements are good and I think I may have pointed out in one previous review, that I wasn't too sure if Alex Sector had a new weapon system [Tollbooth thing, I would like to say vehicle with that as well.] Because it must be able to if it is in this episode.

No-show list: Scott, T-Bob, the M.A.S.K. computer and this is just a little list.

Ending message: in this case I will have to make a small adaption to this ending message [but it will make sense,] in a nutshell it is this; in case of real emergencies call 911 [in the US] or 999 [in the UK,] it feels like one of those occasions where I should say this; this is a disclaimer if anyone should use these two numbers, I will not be held responsible for any actions, I am just simply pointing out this ending message.

This episode receives: 53% approval, I don't know what to say really, because I have either said it before as it relates to the recent previous episodes, but it is either this TV program has nothing left to give us as it relates to completely different storylines, the M.A.S.K. computer back and many other things so yes we will get over the finishing line [meaning the end of this TV program] but very, very slowly [on a side note I have decided to just do four things about this episode, because I haven't done a different number of things for some time, the different numbers being 3 or 4 or 5 things.]

Review Time: this episode is mixed

5 things about this episode

Racing elements/Action sequences: these elements are good.

Masks off: well I don't know what to say really, because in this episode characters of M.A.S.K. and V.E.N.O.M. [apparently this stands for Vicious Evil Network Of Mayhem] I have looked on some websites for this full name, but my point is this; I think most of these characters used in this episode now know what they look like underneath their masks which if you have been reading these reviews of this TV series, this kind of thing really irritates me. Because what is the point of wearing these masks if you are going to take them off in front of your adversary or anybody or have your son say something to the effect of "Dad" or anything else you can think of, I mean it just makes no sense and it just really, really, really irritates me and whilst I am on the subject of masks I think Miles Mayhem [the leader of V.E.N.O.M] has three different kinds, I could be wrong but what I can remember he has three of them and I have forgotten how many Matt Tracker has [ the leader of M.A.S.K.] but then again what is the point of having them, if you are going to show your face off anyway, okay I will stop making this point now.

No-show list: Scott, T-Bob, the M.A.S.K. computer and this is just a small list

Ending message: I think there are two ending messages here, the first one is where a M.A.S.K. character says something to the effect of I cannot tell a lie and then tells the truth to another  M.A.S.K. character [there three  M.A.S.K. characters in this situation,] then moving on two of the three  M.A.S.K. characters from the previous scene are talking about this; if you plug too many things into the socket, you may overload the system and one of these two characters says this little rhyme of if it overload it may explode.

This episode receives: 48% approval, now don't get me wrong there are some good elements in this episode, but the whole masks off thing, well it just didn't sit too well with me.

Review Time: this episode is mixed

5 things about this episode


M.A.S.K. character: now in this episode we have this M.A.S.K. character talking to himself while on his weapon system/vehicle [and just for the record it wasn't a inner-monologue kind of thing or voice-over elements, because his voice sounded like it was coming directly from underneath his mask.]

Racing elements/Action sequences: these elements are good.

No-show list: Matt or Scott Trakker, T-Bob, the M.A.S.K. computer and this is just a small list.

Ending message: in a nutshell; never hide anywhere you cannot get out of such as a fridge or freezer

This episode receives:  50% approval, yes this episode does have some good elements but these episodes are becoming a little bit tiresome now.

Racing elements/Action sequences: these elements are good.


Too much new stuff: so how many masks does Matt Trakker have? Because he has a new one in this episode with a new weapon system/vehicle and not forgetting there is a new character in this episode with another new weapon system/vehicle as well and I think Alex Sector has a new weapon system, it is this Tollbooth thing [but I am not sure how it can move] this will make sense when or if you choose to watch this episode or not.

No-show list: Scott or T-Bob, the M.A.S.K. computer this is just a small list.

Ending message: in a nutshell here it is; put away gardening equipment after using it, because someone might trip over them.

This episode receives: 52% approval, I am slightly confused by all these changes, because I know I have said this already, but once again it feels like these changes are very last minute and not only that a waste of time considering we only have less than 10 episodes of this TV series left and on a side note I am not sure if Alex Sector's new weapon system is a new weapon system [Tollbooth thing,] it is just there and I don't know how it got to this location in the first place.

Review Time: this episode is mixed

5 things about this episode

Racing elements/Action sequences: these elements are good.

Too much new stuff: I think there are new weapon systems/vehicles/masks or new characters [I know usually I would split this down into two things,] but it is too much new stuff I cannot keep up with everything from the previous episode, to this episode there is too much happening

No-show list: Matt or Scott Trakker, T-Bob, the M.A.S.K. computer, Miles Mayhem [this list can be used for the previous episode as well, but for one difference Miles Mayhem is in the ending message at the end of the previous episode] and there are some others this is just a small list.

Ending message: it is this in a nutshell, ask before stroking a dog because it may be afraid or something else and it may bite you

This episode receives: 50% approval, I have no idea what is happening with this TV series, yes I knew of these episodes but to be fair to myself I haven't seen these episodes for many years and they are beginning to feel like a very last minute thing.
