Legend - Clueless in San Francisco

Legend

Clueless in San Francisco

During an epic experiment the Professor is interrupted by the arrival of a woman who is looking for the services of Nicodemus in an attempt to find her family, she had been found as a young girl in the plains by a local tribe and raised to womanhood. Ernest takes some convincing as he was looking forward to vacationing in Chicago but a trip to San Francisco with Paytents ( Molly Hagan ) could provide a wealth of ideas for his next novel.

Upon arrival the group are mobbed by the press but finally make it to the family home of Ernest Pratt and we are introduced to his mother Delilah Pratt ( Janis Paige ) and her eclectic assortment of guests. As the investigation continues we learn that someone is strongly motivated to get Paytents and Ernest out of the city even threatening his mother with eviction. Ernest has a close encounter with the agents of the “bad guy” and returns home to find Paytents has been kidnapped but the Professor has a few ideas. Eventually as you would expect the mystery of Paytents is revealed as is the motive for the actions taken against Ernest and we also learn a lot about the boy that became the man that became Nicodemus Legend.

Clueless in San Francisco was a rather different episode compared to the rest of the season, there seemed to be a real effort to flesh out Ernest as well as put in a healthy dose of social commentary. There were laughs of course and great performances from everyone involved, seriously they were all great and sold their characters well especially as some were painted a little on the large size.

If you fancy joining me on the podcast then you can get in touch over any of our social media portals or via email and we can arrange a chat about Stargate using a basic mic/headphone and suitable app which is likely to be skype (old reliable). We are now also carried by Tune In and Amazon Music so more ways to listen to the podcast. Alas only one episode in the Legend series left and that should be my next show before we go back to concentrating more on Stargate so stay tuned and enjoy.
