Movie Reviews of Nowhere Man - The Complete Series
Movie Review: NOWHERE MAN IS FINALLY HERE!!!!!! FANS REJOICE! THE WORLD IS SAVED!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
"NOWHERE MAN" was a series that aired from August 1995 to May 1996 on fledgling network UPN. It was a new channel and a new show and that combination, along with the odd pairing of this series and STAR TREK: VOYAGER (ran 7 seasons, don't know why) may have been what drove it into the ground. Unfortunately, I feel I have to explain this to you people. Here's the episode run down of this wonderful series ([...]):
1) Absolute Zero
Thomas Veil - quite literally - loses his identity one night over dinner and begins to mentally unravel when he discovers his wife (Megan Gallagher, TV's "Millennium") is part of whatever's happening. Placed in a sanitarium, he slowly realizes that he's actually the victim of some massive conspiracy connected to a photograph he took entitled "Hidden Agenda".
2) Turnabout
Veil is picked up by operatives, who think he's Dr. Bellamy. He's taken to a Midwest sanitarium for the organization and ordered to crack Ellen Combs (Mimi Craven), a young woman who has just been erased. Thinking he'll be able to secure his own files, Tom plays along, but realizes he must intervene before Ellen divulges any information and endangers other possible victims
3) The Incredible Derek
Tracing the jeep in the photograph to Tipton, Georgia, Thomas Veil meets a blind 10-year-old prophet (Zachery McLemore) who sees into both Tom's past and future. With his help Tom manages to avoid being captured by the army troops that seem to be looking for him, but not before they destroy the army base that has some mysterious connection to the picture in Tom's negative as well as the small town where they've been staying.
4) Something About Her
The conspiracy kidnaps Tom and through drugs and programming convinces him he's in love with an attractive photographer named Karin (Carrie Ann Moss, "The Matrix" and "Memento") - actually an actress hired by the conspirators. As their relationship progresses, flashbacks confuse him and Tom angrily turns on the girl, forcing the doctors to step up their program.
5) Paradise on Your Doorstep
While working in a photo shop Tom comes across a picture of his wife Alyson dining with a female customer. When the woman (Saxon Trainor) picks up the photographs he follows her, only to be kidnapped and transported to a strangely isolated "village" -- a perfect town specially designed for the "disenfranchised" -- those persons who had lost their identities because of "them".
6) The Spider Webb
Tom is tracing Dave "Eddie" Powers, his friend from the asylum who knew too much and was lobotomized for his efforts to help Tom. He ends up in Eddie's run-down hotel room where the television mysteriously begins broadcasting The Lenny Little Show (Michael McGuire), a serial that is - amazingly enough - re-enacting scenes from Tom's personal erasure. He traces the program to the Max Webb Studios and confronts the sneering writer. Veil begins to realize that Max Webb (Richard Kind of "Mad About You") not only knows what he has done but foresees what he'll do next.
7) A Rough Whimper of Insanity
Working as a pizza deliveryman, Tom happens on a computer hack that has cut himself off from the world and lives in darkness with his machines. Sickly and severely socially handicapped, Scott Hansen (Sean Whalen) begins to warm to Tom's gentleness and becomes deeply intrigued when he realizes the extent of his erasure - so profound that even Scott's skills can't retrieve Veil's files.
8) The Alpha Spike
Tom travels to New England to work in the military school where Dr. Bellamy taught and to investigate Bellamy's methods of subliminal persuasion on teenagers. While there he becomes involved in a murder committed by an evil and manipulative cadet (Jackson Price).
9) You've Really Got A Hold On Me
Tom is befriended by a man whose own life was taken away by the organization more than 20 years before. Gus Shepard (Dean Stockwell, TV's "Quantum Leap") has come to realize that the conspiracy's focus has shifted from him to Tom and that even his life as a runaway no longer has meaning.
10) Father ["Validation"]
Tom returns to the Missouri town where he grew up and meets the father who deserted him and his mother 20 years before. Although he wants to believe the man now calling himself Jonathan Crane (Dean Jones, "Beethoven") is his father, Veil is suspicious of the recent plastic surgery and demands proof, which Jonathan can't seem to supply.
11) An Enemy Within
Tom finds himself in a rural area of Pennsylvania where he's waiting for a phone call from a detective who thinks he can name the cigar-smoking soldier in Tom's photo. Unwittingly camping out on private land, he's shot by a guard and left for dead. He's discovered the next day by Emily (Maria Bello, "A History of Violence" and "The Cooler", TV's "ER"), a young woman who manages to drag him to her home and nurses him back to health.
12) It's Not Such a Wonderful Life
During Christmas, Thomas Veil reads in a newspaper that the federal government is looking for him in connection with the photograph "Hidden Agenda". And then - quite suddenly - he's found! He's told his ordeal is over and that all he has to do is testify, and - to prove his story - hand over the negatives.
13) Contact ["Deep Throat"]
A mysterious voice (Robin Sachs, TV's "Babylon 5") from within the organization contacts Veil and tells him he'll help him reach the man responsible for his erasure. To earn Tom's trust the voice allows him to watch the video record of his own erasure and to see the man who ordered it: Richard Grace (Joseph Lambie). To insure Tom's interest the voice also shows Tom proof that his wife Alyson was involved with Grace and sets out an elaborate scheme for Tom to assassinate the man.
14) Heart of Darkness
Veil uses a Palmtop computer provided by his contact within the organization to track down Commander Quinn (James Tolkan, "Back to the Future"), a secretive military man who runs a right-wing uniformed organization that carefully screens all applicants. Usurping an accepted applicant's place, Tom finds himself kidnapped and inducted into a brutally disciplined militia group that kills those who don't conform.
15) Forever Jung ["Doubles"]
Following up on information in the Palmtop, Tom journeys to a Minnesota town and finds work at a nursing home that may be performing unauthorized scientific experiments on its residents. The unexpected death of one of the residents prompts Veil to investigate and he uncovers a plot that is directly linked to the organization.
16) Shine a Light on You ["Masons"]
Tom journeys to a remote Colorado town to look for a physicist named Dr. Merrit, whom he suspects is another victim of the conspiracy. Dr. Merrit's disappearance has been attributed to an alien abduction by the locals, who have become accustomed to seeing strange phenomena and unexplained lights.
17) Stay Tuned
The Palmtop leads Veil to Darby, NY -- a seemingly perfect American town where everybody is just too good to be true. Suspecting some form of mind control Tom attempts to infiltrate the campaign headquarters of Jim Hubbard (Cliff DeYoung, TV's "X-Files" pilot, "Suicide Kings"), a local politician who is launching a campaign to run for governor - and who might be part of the organization that erased Tom's identity. * NOTE: My friend Jane Vandenburgh was an extra during this episode's town hall meeting!
18) Hidden Agenda
Alexander Hale (Robin Sachs, TV's "Babylon 5"), Tom's mysterious contact in the organization, finally reveals his true identity and arranges to meet with Tom to find out the truth about the photograph "Hidden Agenda". Unknown to Tom, Hale has been uncovered by the organization and they intend to use him as bait to bring Veil down once and for all.
19) Doppleganger
Unsure that he can trust the information from the Palmtop computer, Veil decides to investigate one last name: Claire Hillard (Jamie Rose), a fellow journalist who was assigned to the same South American arena where the "Hidden Agenda" photograph was supposedly taken. Arriving in the small Ohio town where she lives he discovers there's another Thomas Veil living there -- a photographer with whom Claire occasionally works.
20) Through A Lens Darkly ["Shutterbug"]
Tom is kidnapped and locked inside a remote deserted house. An operative (Sam Anderson, TV's "ER", "LOST") within the organization uses powerful mind control techniques to induce haunting memories from Veil's past, making him recall his childhood and the violent death of his childhood sweetheart (Monica Creel).
21) Dark Side of the Moon ["Mugging"]
Tom has a chance to uncover an important list of operatives, but as he's phoning his contact an operative (Maurice Chasse) from the organization attacks him and demands the negatives. Fleeing from one enemy Tom runs into another as an inner city gang confronts Veil and steals a bag containing the negatives of "Hidden Agenda".
22) Calaway
Thomas Veil is suffering from severe insomnia and a doctor's alarming diagnosis prompts him to go back to the asylum where he was first placed after his erasure. There he encounters one of his fellow inmates (Jay Arlen Jones), a man who has been re-programmed to think he's one of the doctors.
23) Zero Minus Ten ["Coma"]
Waking up in a hospital with no memory of how he got there, Tom is immediately suspicious when he's told he's been in a coma for three months following a car accident. A forced reunion with his wife Alyson (Megan Gallagher, TV's "Millennium") only reinforces his belief that he is the victim of another ruse by the organization that is trying to get his negatives.
24) Marathon
Uncovering a section of "Hidden Agenda" previously obscured, Tom discovers the numbers for a radio frequency that ultimately leads him to a Washington DC research center called
