felt absolutely looney tunes about this sequence where Solo is at the woman's apartment and she's trying to get him shot, which I remembered from an episode of KJB but not in this context at all

turns out they padded out an episode for The Spy with My Face (1965) and then reused some of the new scenes in later episodes (including this one)

Solo tells the woman to change into something more comfortable and she says "now what would you like me to change into"

and he says "anything...but a boy"

I am hoping that in the next scene she is a horse

Mr. Waverly has sent Illya to help his cousin, and Illya has just been introduced to the room as "the man from cousin"

Solo: Illya, are you free?

guy's like, Napoleon, why are you here

and Napoleon's like, UNCLE can't send me officially but I trust you and want to help

and guy's like, okay but why is ILLYA here then

and Illya's like, shrug????

a half-naked woman has accidentally fallen into UNCLE headquarters! they've wrapped her in a sheet, for modesty, and then PINNED A SECURITY DORITO ON THE SHEET

some guy just did a drone 9/11 on the UNCLE headquarters with a model airplane

getting to say all kinds of new sentences with this show

Napoleon Solo appears to be wearing a cardigan sweater over a polo shirt?? with an ascot??

knowing that someday Illya will retire to start a dress business makes this scene where he bullshits the fashion house even funnier

@ColesStreetPothole I have been getting the DVDs from my local library! I'm sure there's ways for you to revisit it if you'd like

@ColesStreetPothole I am not expecting greatness! I am having fun!

an old flame of Napoleon's comes out of the woodwork to ask him for help, and they keep having this conversation with meaningful pauses and eye contact,

and then Illya literally goes AND I AM ALSO HERE, ME, ILLYA

just two guys on a vacation to Rome together, normal-style

Always Be Escaping!! Just walk out!!

me, an idiot, getting into a show with a character named Illya at the same time everybody's feeling bonkers about a show with a character named Ilya

they're going undercover and Napoleon Solo's cover identity is a man from Idaho "who disappeared at sea...while attempting to smuggle small arms and ammunition into Southern Rhodesia"

this episode aired in 1964 so I'm on a Wikipedia rabbit hole trying to figure out EXACTLY how racist this makes him

Ricardo Montalban?????

they've got Robert Vaughn doing an accent in this one and it's A Lot

Leonard Nimoy is here too
