Disappointed at the glamorizing of bullfighting

[scubafiend · 1/10 · 5 September 2023]

I acknowledge that this was filmed over 30 years ago but that doesn't excuse having such a brutal and senseless "sport" as a central part of this episode! In my opinion at no point is bullfighting acceptable.

Despite the protests during the episode that the bull is not killed, it is still tortured. It is baffling how anyone can consider that entertainment.

There are plenty of episodes that have slightly cringeworthy moments, but on the whole I enjoy the nostalgia watching them. This is NOT one of them!

Final thought- so very over the "Mermaids". Glad they didn't add them until Season 9 - I would have had to stop watching.

Strong Smoothness > Lisbon Bullfight

[sandcrab722 · 5/10 · 11 February 2022]

Lorenzo Lamas plays matador and it's like super emotional.

Casanova does well, twins chuckle, just a few mishaps, and a booby trap, but he's... no spoilers.

Weddings and babies. Gramps is as much fun as a loud mosquito you'll never see. And murder momma is industrial strength snoozebait. Sundry assemblage. Radical quality vacillations.

I Love Bullfighting (Part 2)

[WalterKafka · 16 June 2024]

I love bullfighting! Kill all the bulls! It turns out that Olivia Brown is, um, with child. That complicates things. Maybe Isaac will give the kid a legitimate name. See, Lorenzo has been at Harvard, and now he wants to write poetry and lounge at the beach with ladies in bikinis. Bull fighting is no life for such a man! Of course, The Joker is having none of these excuses. Pack your bags for Gotham City. Our playboy is romancing Judy and Vicki at the same time. Wacky! Dana is not having anything to do with her murdering mother. Captain Stubing tries to convince her that the guy had it coming. One thing you get a lot on these double-length travel episodes is the staging of scenes in front of impressive scenic vistas, usually up high on mountains. You know I've never traveled internationally, but I've seen it most of it anyway on The Love Boat. Good enough. On Kafka's Love Boat scale, this one gets 2 ½ * out of a possible 4 *.
