Johnny: "I'd have to touch you."Maggie: "You have permission. I won't tell Sarah."
Boy meets girl, romantic train trip, chased by murderers. Sort of like North by Northwest but with a psychic. Johnny does lead an exciting life at times. It also felt a little like one of my favorite Dead Zone episodes, "Deja Voodoo": a heavy-duty flirtation for Johnny, him saving her life, and his eventual realization (aided by a vision) that her happy future wasn't going to be with him. Not as good as "Deja Voodoo," unfortunately.
Anyway, moving right along. Maggie was the cliche, the bad girl with the heart of gold trapped into her lifestyle by an evil guy who wouldn't let her go. She dressed like a film star from the fifties, with the perfect blonde wavy hair, stylish clothes, movie star make-up. Yes, she was fun, her life was definitely worth saving, and she and Johnny did have some chemistry. And she brought a big issue to the surface.
Is Johnny still in love with Sarah? Are they meant to be together? Maggie thought that Johnny should let Sarah go, but she wasn't exactly impartial since she wanted Johnny for herself. Johnny must be confused about his relationship with Sarah, or he wouldn't be confiding in a total stranger.
What does Johnny really want? It's almost impossible to tell.
Bits and pieces:
— No Sarah, no J.J. And dammit, no Bruce. I feel cheated. I thought we were going to get some Bruce.
— I think my favorite scene was the one near the end, where Maggie was all over Johnny in an effort to distract the train guy looking at the passports. Very cute.
— This episode was big with the scenic. That train, in particular, was old, shabby, picturesque, and full of character. At one point, Maggie was waxing poetic about how beautiful Montreal was.
— Maggie: "I'll miss you more than she would." Is that true? For that matter, what does Sarah want? Is Sarah even capable of knowing what she wants at this point, with Walt so freshly gone and with a new baby?
Two and a half stars,

Billie Doux loves good television and spends way too much time writing about it.
this is my favorite episode. maggie was very beautiful and johnny could'nt resist her. maggie's boyfriend was a loser and found her. the cop malone was a good addition. maggie and johnny's kiss at the end was sweet and johnny was falling in love with her.
ReplyDeletejohnny with a beautiful woman on a train bound for montreal and maggie finding her boyfriend craig palladino on the same train with a cop named malone. i love the scenes inside the train as it's very pretty and so is maggie when johnny looks at her all while falling for her as she is not what she seems to be. sarah is not in the episode. maggie gave malone the diamond necklace but it turned out to be fake as he's got johnny cornered then johnny fights him. johnny was going to his fishing trip with bruce while taking a train saving maggie's life. maggie steals and schemes her way out of situations and johnny is attracted to her the whole episode.
ReplyDeletejohnny was on his way to see bruce to go fishing and everything falls apart when he's on the train with a very beautiful woman named maggie. this episode was a lot better than the one where we found johnny sarah and walt on a mountain where the plane crashed in the trees. i thought we for sure were going to see bruce or sarah but neither one was in this episode. well written show and a great script to go along with it. johnny sitting on the train while maggie has her way with him while running from her boyfriend and a cop that was on the same train.
