October 7th - October 13th:***There was no Season 1 premiere episode this week******There was no Season 2 premiere episode this week***"Killshot", the 3rd episode of the 3rd season, premiered on NBC on Friday, October 10th at 9PM EDT. Some notes on this episode (from Miami Vice Wiki):* Jai-Alai is still played at the same venue where the scenes for this episode were filmed. The term "Killshot" refers to a hard or well-placed shot designed to make the opponent miss.* The pelota or ball used in jai-alai can be thrown at speeds in excess of 150 miles per hour. The ball that kills Tico is reported on the news broadcast to have been traveling at a speed close to this.* This episode was characteristic of the later seasons, as it ends in a very nihlistic way. The title for this episode appears in the middle of the screen, as it did for the start of season 1 and would do permanently from "Forgive Us Our Debts" onwards. This is a sign that the studio changed the running order of the episodes and that "Killshot" was originally intended to air later in the season, from which point episode titles were moved to the middle of the screen as standard. * As seen five previous times in the series, a "good" character, (Arriola), committs murder out of revenge or fear, right in front of Crockett.***There was no Season 4 premiere episode this week******There was no Season 5 premiere episode this week***
