But, Brenda knew who Sonny was & what he did (although obviously didn’t fully understand how his career would affect hers)...so I don’t think she met him in a ‘Burnett’ situation. She was high society, but I don’t think the rich-but-with-drugs crowd. She seemed very naive & clueless about that life and what Crockett really had to deal with in his job. But, Tubbs definitely set her straight...hurtful as it was, she knew he was right. She didn’t have much to say when he talked about police barbecues & softball games. I wonder if she’d ever been to a barbecue? Castillo was so much more than a “stare-down”...but in this episode it definitely was affective & got the point across. I too enjoyed some of the other OCB cast get to be in on the action—Zito, Trudy, etc...while Crockett was being punished. I enjoy this episode and I too originally gave it an 8...still stand by that! Would like to add I would have been madder at Crockett for not showing up that morning, if I had been in Tubb's shoes. If roles had been reversed we would have seen hell breaking lose on screen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDragon86 Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) Some say Brenda isn't very pretty but like Margaret I think her hairstyle doesn't help. In "Manhunter" Kim looks much more attractive. Edited May 9, 2021 by RedDragon86 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoombayPunch Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 I wasn't a huge fan of this episode, mostly because the gang was really annoying and over acting. I get that they were out of control and the title clearly refers to that, but a minute into each of their scenes I wanted to fast forward it. I enjoyed the interplay between Sonny and Brenda, but in the end it wasn't enough to drag the spotlight off the spazs. As vicegirl85 said, I found it hard to believe they wouldn't have been arrested immediately after their first foray into ripping off the bookies, especially after killing the first guy (who looked a lot like Izzy?) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. The gang was really completely over the top and you constantly have the feeling that they are on drugs. But I also found Brenda kind of annoying. As others have said, she knew what Crockett's job was. After being shot at during her phone call with Sonny, her statement that SHE was shot at didn't fit either. No one shot at her because she was only on the phone. To me, all the time she made the impression of a woman who has no real idea about life and obviously could do whatever she wanted in her job. I got the impression Sonny had told her he wanted to get up early in the morning, possibly also that he wanted to meet Tubbs, but Brenda felt he needed sleep. The end of the relationship again seemed very matter-of-fact and unemotional to me. There was no real regret, but seemed to me more like two business partners ending their working relationship. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny and Brenda were too mismatched. This was clearly obvious by her "Paris for summer" quote and Sonny's answer of "maybe when I retire" I think "tasteful but shallow jet setter" described her perfectly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they were never going to make a go of it, it was clear, added to the feeling I have that no woman would have been more important to him than his job (and certainly no lifestyle). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDragon86 Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Those three punks ruin a perfectly good episode. Their acting was either over the top or just plain stupid. The way they were carrying on in the café was unbearable to watch, particularly from Michael Carmine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I despised the three of them, for both the acting and the plain stupidity. Glad you called out the worse of the trio, Michael Carmine. They got what they deserved in the end and that was delightful to watch. I would have liked to see them in "The Cell Within" episode among Jake Manning's "special guests" , had they not died in "nobody lives forever". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In real life, especially nowadays, they would be arrested almost immediately. For the sake of the show they can't be apprehended by any other Miami cop.
