Mission: Impossible
(1966)

The films are not canonical
The recent films starring Tom Cruise are in clear and present violation of the series canon. According to the canon, the mission is what matters most; all the films apparently make it seem that one member of the team is the real focus. That was not the way it was in the series when the networks originally transmitted it; Cruise has no business attempting to make it seem as though that should be the way it should be in any of the films. It is nothing more than an ugly reflection of his egotism that he and his conspiratrix, Paula Wagner, have deliberately made all the films center around him and his activities rather than around the missions. The series was deliberately intended NOT to make major celebrities of any of its cast members; the films have done so too often.

Call for the series to be released to home video, but avoid, and keep everyone else away from, the films at all costs.
