![]() Sam & Mark feature during the first half of this episode but the other regular cast don't appear until the final feel good moment at Danny's which is as cheesy as ever. ![]() Shot mostly on a real cruise ship none of this story is set in the laboratory which makes for a change if nothing else. Having said that it's still a decent episode, Klugman is always watchable & there's no moral issues in this story. Then about halfway through they disappear never to be seen again, most of the set up in Part 1 doesn't really come to much like the crew making a film on-board who get a couple of brief scenes here but nothing that important & I also felt the eventual conclusion was a bit rushed where things were wrapped up a bit quickly & a bit conveniently. The script goes a little off track here as the first half features a dull subplot about two defected Russians & the fact that the two actors portraying them put in terrible performances along with truly awful accents don't help. Episode 4 from season 7 this two part Quincy story was directed Daniel Haller & while this episode wasn't quite as good as Part 1 overall it's still a good Quincy mystery across it's two parts. Janet Carlyle (Diana Muldaur) becomes one of the victims it becomes personal for him as he faces a race against to prevent her & anybody else's death, but is it already too late. That isn't Quincy's only problem though as the ship has been refused entry to any country for fear of an epidemic by local authorities & when his close friend Dr. coroner Quincy (Jack Klugman) is continuing helping out on a cruise ship by using his medical knowhow to try & discover the mystery illness which has killed three so far & infected many more. Quincy M.E: Slow Boat to Madness: Part 2 starts as L.A. Overall, entertaining but also a VERY familiar theme.Quincy DON'T go on vacation!!! And, it (not surprisingly) ends with the discovery of the cause of the outbreak as well as Quincy and the gang at Danny's to celebrate (what else?). ![]() However, Mark and Sam come in to the rescue-but end up getting exposed to whatever it is in the process. Unfortunately for them, it is NOT a jump to safety as the local authorities vow to shoot them in order to prevent the disease from infecting their people (which is understandable). Part two begins with the two idiots jumping off the boat and swimming to shore. What is the culprit? Well, you'll have to watch both part one and part two to know the answer to this one. The cruise back looks like it will be wonderful, but wouldn't you know it, folks start dying!! It's an odd case, as they hallucinate and end up killing themselves or others-as if they are having a bad acid trip. This time, Muldaur plays the Public Health Officer once again-and Quincy's love interest. Now having a guest actor appear several times on the show isn't odd, but they usually play different characters. While having this happen once or twice is bad enough, but EVERY time Quincy travels?! The show is a bit unusual, as Diana Muldaur returns to the show as the same character she played a year earlier. That's because repeatedly on the show, whenever he travels (on vacation or to a convention) bad things will happen and he'll need to do coroner stuff-and often this means autopsies. This is yet another episode that proves that Dr.
