...payoff might have eased the post-movie tension. Who knows? Perhaps--perhaps--we need to worry less about Humanoids from the Deep, which delivered enough sex and violence to satisfy the most sadistic, misogynistic audience, than about television's Charlie's Angels, which is just a tease, placing its glamor-girl heroines in perilous situations and raising expectations that it has no intension of fulfilling.
