THE SNARE

BABALAO
David becomes an assistant of a doctor in a town full of wackoes that believe in witch doctors especially the mighty and powerful BABALAO (HAHA) It is up to David to rescue the doctor from a crazy witch doctor.

RATING:1 star

BROKEN IMAGE
While a man that looks just like David has to shoe off an old girlfriend he gives Davids apartment number and things go wrong when David is thought to be this Mikey character and criminals go after the wrong guy!

RATING:3 stars
Episode:47
PROOF POSITIVE
This episode explains a hell of a lot as to why Mcgee wants to catch the Hulk so bad. Lots of stock footage, pretty good I might add. Anyway when the bosses little girl takes over for a while she ants Mcgee to discontinue the Hulk. Of course Mcgee doesn't't agree and takes matters into his own hands in a quest to prove that the Hulk exists.
RATING:2 and a half stars
Episode:48
SIDESHOW

OVERALL SUMMARY AND REVIEW OF SEASON 3
Season 3 of The Incredible Hulk Television kicked off with a half decent episode called Metamorphosis, but it was no were near as good as the pilot episode or Married. I think that the stories were becoming more and more sophisticated at this point in the series. And with episodes like The Snare, Broken Image, and Homecoming this season always had a mixture of drama, action, and irony. Charles Napier a fine actor in my opinion makes his first Hulk guest appearance in what I found to be a great episode although one of the highest overlooked of the series, The Slam. It was cool seeing how David tries to get by in jail and dealt with all of the jerks who thought he was the wardens fink. I think that season 3 like season 1 and season 2 was a great season for this series.
POSITIVES
1.good well written stories (The Snare and Metamorphisis among others)
2.get a deeper look into why Mcgee wants to capture the Hulk (Proof Positive)
NEGATIVES
1.Episodes like Sideshow and My Favorite Magician
