Reactions and Reviews

'Play Dead for Me' moves quickly and reflects the mood of its referenced episode.[1]

"Play Dead for Me" is another Faddis gem, moves quickly and with all the tension of its reference episode.[2]

"Play Dead for Me" is an Act V for the third-season adaptation of "...Misty..."; it makes, but fails to examine, a couple of extremely acute observations about Hutch's psychology. This is a pity. One expects more from Faddis.[3]

Play Dead For Me — A nice ending to FATAL CHARM. Starsky's character was well handled.[4]

Play Dead For Me - Thank you. This particular episode ended much too soon. Even this ended strangely. You ask yourself questions: will Hutch be leery of women for a while; will being alone frighten him, especially in showers? [5]

Play Dead For Me was okay. Connie's is an adept and powerful writer, but in this issue she's gliding, not flying.[6]
