MrsEvanFreed Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Candy shoud've been a recurring character, the actress had great chemisty with Don Johnson.

Erix Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I did briefly consider a CROCKETT SAYS NO highlight for his "No, Lady! NO!" at the hotel. But it doesn't really fit the mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsEvanFreed Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 General Lao Li was a great nemesis, wish they had bought him back at least one more time.Another high point was Mann's musical piece The Trial and the Search.Which plays in the final act, when Lao Li confronts his stupid Grandsons and orders their execution. Which is thwarted by Castillo and the OCB.Funny review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erix Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Thanks!Keep reading, it's only going to get better. Smuggler's Blues will be up in a day or two.I agree that Lao Li was too fascinating for just one appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Don Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I read some episodes in your blog and, to be honest, this ironical / cynical / critical writing gets old and is misjudged all over the place. Not my style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erix Posted May 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Sorry it isn't your cup of tea Don. My only goal is to entertain. Not only my readers, but myself as well.There's 111 episodes on this thing. I just don't see how I could go through it by treating it as if it were Chekov.Although I poke fun, I am trying to do so affectionately. And, if you read between the lines, there is serious analysis. It's just done with a tongue-in-cheek approach.And taking that approach will be very helpful in later seasons, believe me.But it's okay if you don't like it. Thanks for taking the time to read.

Viceman Cometh Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Yeah, I figured sooner or later someone would take issue with the non-reverential tone. But the affection is there plain as day. It's appropriate for a lot of us Vice fans who do have to chuckle to ourselves, My God it's been 25 years and I still love this stuff!

Erix Posted May 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I'm glad you see through the snark Viceman. I love this stuff too. But how can I not have a little bit of fun with it? It was a critically acclaimed show in its day and was taken seriously. But it is so keyed in to its era that a lot of it is unavoidably kitsch now.Still... Olmos always delivered a very compelling performance as Castillo. And Glenn Frey is legitimately good in Smuggler's Blues. He has a laconic presence that brings to mind The Dude's younger brother or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsEvanFreed Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Great review, definitley worth the wait.Jimmy was mentioned in a later episode, too bad Glen Frey never reprised the role. Though he did appear on Nash Bridges.Also had a recurring role on the CBS Cop Drama Wiseguy, during the Dead Dog Records story arc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soonerson Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 I guess this ideal has been scrapped, no updates for over a month now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erix Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Serious work commitments and some personal issues got in the way of my updating. But I've sorted it out and you can expect these to go back to the pace they were before the hiatus.Here's the first... Enjoy.RITES OF PASSAGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsEvanFreed Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 LOL @ operatic lovemaking, so true.The sex scene between Tubbs and Valerie was understated, but still very hot.Plus Jan Hammer's theme for them was a great touch.Cyndi Lauper's hubby occasionally appears on Law and Order:SVU s a smary Defense Attorney.Another great review, worth the wait.
