Run, Steve, Run

Steve is suspicious after several strange accidents in a row occur. He feels someone is trying to kill him, despite Oscar's dismissal of the notion. Travelling to Utah for a vacation, Steve takes the time to think about his past encounters as a bionic man and comes to the conclusion that it's Dr. Jeffrey Dolenz, the robot maker, who is stalking him. With this in mind, Steve sets himself up to be captured by Dolenz in order to find out the robot maker's ultimate plan. John and Paul are joined by writer/publisher/critic Dr. Arnold T. Blumberg as they examine the second entry in the robot maker trilogy.

Bionic Wiki entry

The6milliondollarblog entry

Alex Green was born in San Diego where he has lived his whole life, rarely venturing outside the safe confines of Southern California. Growing up, his parents tried to persuade him that the funny man running in slow motion on the television wasn't worth watching, but he knew better. He knew much, much better.

A lifelong fan of The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman, Alex hadn't been an adult for very long (some would say he still isn't) when he started making several trips a month up to Los Angeles to attend toy and collectibles shows in order to amass a huge collection of Bionic memorabilia. A vast collection that he no longer possesses due to an accident involving a pencil, a rabid weasel and a rapidly descending elevator (Actually, the advent of eBay in the late 90's took the thrill of the hunt out of it for him, so he gave it up).

Currently working out of his modest two-bedroom apartment (or twelve-bedroom mansion as he refers to it when describing his digs to designer and the webmaster of The Six Million Dollar Blog, the newest Bionic site on the web except for all the others that have come after.

He hopes one day to meet his hero Lee Majors in person and his biggest regret in life is that he no longer fits into his Six Million Dollar Man jammies.
