Nice casting, 9 August 2019
The Quick Pitch: Al is tasked with stealing an object from an Eastern bloc museum. The trouble is that he’s not at all sure what he’s supposed to steal.
On the whole, I quite enjoyed Locked in the Cradle of the Keep. The opening shootout is exciting, even if the ultimate outcome is terribly predictable. The part of Al’s plan to get in the museum without stepping on the floor was humorously clever. And the bit where Al tricks his tail into following the wrong motor-scooter was a nice scene. But the best part of the episode for me had to be the relationship between Al and Ilsa. Robert Wagner and Celeste Yarnall made quite the handsome couple and had some real chemistry together. In almost every episode, Al gets the girl. But other than Susan Saint James, none seemed as natural with Wagner as Yarnall. A nice bit of casting.
My complaints are minor and center on a few ridiculous plot points (like why there wasn’t more security personnel at the museum during the final scene), but they’re hardly worth mentioning. Overall, a nice episode.
7/10
