Hello, fellow livetweeters! This month #Bond_age_TV is doing something different. Hawaii Five-0 had, in its 12 years on the air, a number of two-parters which I don’t plan to break up when they come up in the schedule. This presents a bit of a problem, as the Avengers never had any two-part episodes (except in the New Avengers era, which is sadly beyond my perview). But I wanted to give the Avengers their own time as well, so I shall be presenting, from time to time, back-to-back Avengers episodes that have a common thread. This week I’m starting this tradition with the most obviously episode link in Avengers history: The Cybernauts. These robotic assassins appeared three times throughout the Avengers run, and this week I’ll be featuring their first two appearances. First up this Wednesday at 9pm EST will be their debut episode, titled The Cybernauts. Steed and Emma investigate a series of murders that appear to be the work of a martial arts expert. This episode features such familiar faces as Michael Gough (Batman) and Bernard Horsfall (OHMSS). The second part of the double feature will be Return of the Cybernauts . The Cybernauts are back, thanks to a millionaire bent on revenge ( guest star Peter Cushing.) Steed and Peel find themselves targets for destruction. This episode ranks as one of my all-time favourites, and I think I’m not the only one. I hope you’ll join me for this week’s #Bond_age_TV event, with the fun starting at 9pm EST!
