“The Mudworm”

The second episode of the series Man from Atlantis continued an early trend of including the same bad guy. Victor Buono returned as Mr. Schubert, the mad genius with delusions of power.

This episode, Schubert had sent one of his machines, the Mudworm, to the ocean floor to mine out an extremely rare element that would give him control over satellites as well as no concern for money ever again.

I liked this episode too, because the ending was unlike most shows of this genre. The show resolved the conflict with Mark going to the Mudworm and talking it into helping out.

I have enjoyed Victor Buono on the show, but I would like to see someone different for a few episodes instead of it always being Schubert.

Admittedly, the plot was a little thin, but I did enjoy the unconventional manner in which it was resolved.
