It may be the only episode of SWAT that I ever saw. Bonus is that Farrah Fawcett is in the episode as well, making it the Lara and Farrah Show. [easter_wink]

Yes, I was surprised by how many scenes they shared together because, unfortunately for her, Farrah was often stuck playing the airhead blonde at this point in her career, while I don't believe Lara ever played an airhead in any of her TV roles.

It's also interesting that the pairing consists of the past and future co-stars/good friends of Kate Jackson.

Although, I don't know what it says about women when an ep that has one of its plotlines as women supposedly championing not just being sex objects in a beauty pageant but real empowered people features the two main female characters not only making catty remarks about silicone vs. natural breasts -

- with Loni Anderson as that personification of silicone, but also has them as the classic victims -

- as they become hostages to the bad guys. But then, this is a show done by Aaron Spelling, whose shows hardly showcased anything resembling actual feminist views. So...

Those are awesome captures, MB.  I have not seen the episode so it was fun to see these.
