Episode 1.17 'Blue Thunder' Part 3

Send us Fan MailBy the grace of the TV gods, Blue Thunder was somehow renewed, much to the chagrin of most of the Aquaboys.   And boy-o-boy are we glad we hung around for Episode 3.  This episode has it all….a flamboyant arms dealer, a fascinating weight-loss subplot, gigantic drones with equally gigantic controls, oddly timed feats of strength, wing-walking, sharp-shooting, spider mating rituals and downright hilarious impressions  - - all of that AND an unconvincing love interest.  Who could ask for anything more?   Ok well…how about a dash of tape-delayed orgasims and a Fast and Furious prequel for good measure?   Now you’re talking.   Blue Thunder is an American action drama television series based on the movie of the same title that aired on ABC from January 6 until April 16, 1984 featuring the Blue Thunder helicopter. The series uses the converted Aérospatiale Gazelle helicopter and large portions of stock footage from the 1983 film.  Lt. Frank Chaney of the LAPD is a maverick cop with unorthodox methods who is assigned to the Blue Thunder Team, which uses a very advanced gadget-filled helicopter in its fight against crime. "Blue Thunder" is capable of great speed and maneuverability, can run silently in "whisper mode", and is armed with the most powerful weapons in development. His partner is a fresh-faced rookie with the improbable name of Wonderlove, and ground support is supplied by ex-athletes Ski and Bubba, who drive a sophisticated van.
