    The Power

    David Banner(Bill Bixby) takes a job at a power plant that is having union problems with management. After an accident resulting in a severe electrical shock when he saved the life of a co-worker named Edgar Tucker(played by Tom Clancy), David awakens in a hospital with a ringing in his ears and the power to see the near future, which involves that same co-worker taking drastic action against management by holding the plant hostage. David resolves to stop this situation before it has the chance to develop, assuming of course he can... Decent episode develops its premise in an interesting manner, even if it's not anywhere near the league of 'The Psychic'.

    Visions of the Hulk

    Season 4 of "The Incredible Hulk" is very uneven and "Deep Shock" is one of the more solid ones.

    The Hulk appears only five minutes into the episode as David winds up fighting an electrical chord and suffers some deep shock. As he wakes up in a hospital a constant ringing bothers him and his dreams seem to be prophetic visions of the Hulk wrecking havoc in a major power plant. A weakened David gets looked after by an ailing worker in the power plant who's also fighting the management in the hopes of saving his fellow workers jobs.

    A solid episode in the series. OK writing for the most part and the Hulk action is fairly good. It's decently acted and David's precog condition is quite a novelty. The formula is somewhat bent here but it's fairly predictable but overall quite enjoyable for a fan.
