The 'O'riginal Mission Impossible with Peter Graves, which I just ordered.

*oh wait that's 50 years ago.

I just watched (or tried to watch) the whole series. What was cool and cutting edge in the 60s and 70s just looks hokey and stupid in 2024.

Here is the lowdown on MI from my mental brain dump after watching to whole thing.

The Mission Impossible team are portrayed as a high-level group of government spies, who keep the world safe.

In truth, they are a gang of criminals who go around the world killing, defrauding, and psychologically torturing people (especially very old men) to steal some item (often in very illegal ways) the U.S. Government wants, no matter how many people are killed in the process. They are not high-level spies; they are high-level thieves, con-men, and murderers.

Aside: Everybody smokes. All women are sex-kittens (more dangerous than the men), to be used and hit on by anyone. Sexy kitten sex is expected and is even set-up to be that way. Everybody drinks almost constantly. Black people are all "cool cat daddy-o's about town" who speak in jive talk. They say 'hey man?' at least two or three times in each dialogue. No Black guy ever makes a move toward a White woman and the word 'boy' was still in use at that time.

The one hit karate-chop to the neck is a rip-off direct equivalent to the Vulcan neck pinch. The one hit karate-chop knocks anyone out immediately. They just fall to the floor unconscious for the rest of the scene.

Some of the plot scenarios in the script were so completely prosperous I spit out my beer laughing. Electronic surveillance and computers and anything Space related were completely unknown and scary to the population of the time. So MI could invent these wild ass gadgets which were fantastical at the time but are just funny today.

The theme song is world famous. The best theme song ever. The song spells out MI over and over in morse code. M I - M I - long long M/ short short I/ long long M/ short short I/ long long M... over and over again. The theme is spelling out MI to a 5/4 beat. This is pure musical genius which will endure forever as a master piece written by Lalo Schifrin from Argentinia.

I enjoyed it and you will too as long you take everything in context of the times.

The first Peter Graves (Jim Phelps) was Dan Briggs, who was an actual decorated combat officer.
The problem was that Dan Briggs was an Orthodox Jew and could not work on Saturday.
This interfered with two productions time lines, Mission Impossible and Star Trek. (filming on the same lots)
Briggs was constantly bothering Shatner and Nimoy to pray with him, in the middle of filming. And they did.

By Season two of MI, the producers, directors, funders, could not put up with it.
That is when they signed Peter Graves with Brigg's approval. He had other things to do anyway.
And that is the Mission Impossible we wound up with, and it was great.

Mitch McConnell who was born in 1776, just shit all over himself on stage, while frozen in a small stroke. Still refuses to retire until death.

What about the youth? bleep them. What about America? bleep them. What about serving your fair share and then leaving the trough. What about your children and other children? F**k that! I will eat until I die!

What about fairness to everyone and moving on? (this one really made him mad)
Quote: I will retire to Satan himself only. When Beelzebub visits me in person and kills me! Until then, I am your master. I am God Almighty.

Until then, America, America's children, and even my own children, should all go bleep themselves. I go out when Satan takes my hand and never before.

Mitch McConnell's last epitaph reads F**K YOU!
Pelosi, Biden and I already have reservations in Pandæmonium. It is a beautiful place with a lovely view of the suffering souls we have caused ...... where we will wallow in money and gold and honey and silver and whores forever ... as we were promised by Satan himself. (Lord of lies)

----------------------------------------------------

Who wants to bet that all these ancient freaking hundred year old mummies have a pact that they all go together? You will NEVER TAKE US ALIVE! they all scream! as Satan strikes them all down.

We will live beyound the Universe. We will make the Entire Universe including reality itself, bow a knee to US.

Contrary to media and tech companies what has been presented as AI isn't.

It is instead a sort of expert system that as can be seen isn't so expert.

There are expert systems that capture a few experts knowledge and
conclusions and put them on a memory device. So those less expert can
for example mine for oil, or minerals. When a poor decision is made the
actual experts are asked what criteria would correct the incorrect conclusion.
Color of our founding fathers skin just makes this nonsense visual.

In the current case it is garbage in and garbage out. The computer does
not think but it sees patterns and responds. In the current case it sees
only patterns, words, and pictures that are fed to it. They are people trying
to be comedians.
