Love that ring on her finger in S2. And Trudie giving C a backrub alone on his boat in that episode where she gets depressed over killing a perp.

Tubbs, stretching out, tries to fool actual Haitians with his Haitian accent in s2 “Tale of the Goat.” It doesn’t work and they turn him into a zombie. J/k he recovers miraculously and gets right back into the action.

I thought Phil Collins was pretty good in his episode, Ted Nugent not so much in his, although he was spectacular in his death scene; it looked like he was really getting shot to death.
Zito kind of handsome in a beard but he shaves it off mid-season 2.

Bought that 2CD Jan Hammer comp on a trip to Santa Barbara when it was a new release and on the display rack in the soundtrack section - sells for quite a lot now. Wasn’t aware of it and would have otherwise passed me by despite being a bit of a holy grail release for me.
The second disc is re-recordings but they are unbelievably faithful, presumably using the OG midi files / settings etc. My ear could juuust tell that they were not the original tracks before checking liner notes, I guess maybe it is the mix choices or higher bitrate recording that is an indicator?

Bought a box set of this to watch for the very first time. I had been allowed to watch lots of action TV shows in the early 80s, but I guess my parents thought Miami Vice was super scandalous or something. I'll have to run through a few episodes of Fall Guy and Magnum P.I. for comparison purposes.
Anyway, I watched Glades last night. What a fun bunch of hillbillies! Particularly Clem - I was worried about him getting his gator gun to work, but he came through when it counted.

i used to watch MV with my dad on Fridays. 10pm iirc. I remember very little about it apart from the opening credits, with that theme, which were incredibly thrilling, and a scene where Crockett's looking for a contact in some disreputable waterfront warehouse and finally finds him, and the guy says "hey, que pasa!" and Crockett pulls his gun on him and growls "don't 'que pasa' me!!!"
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 18 September 2023 09:12 (one year ago) link
I may have said this before so apologies if so, but I never understood how Crockett and Tubbs always used the same fake identities when going undercover to bust creeps. eventually, wouldn't Miami's criminal underworld cotton on to the pattern that literally everyone who does business with these guys named Burnett and Cooper end up in jail??
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 18 September 2023 09:15 (one year ago) link
Yeah, even this early in my binge, I realized I would have to buy into a Miami where the underworld is so seething and vast that none of the drug lords have compared notes about the playboy speedboat operators that took them down.
"don't 'que pasa' me!!!"
There are definitely some ridiculous hardman lines in this show. I should be writing them down. From the Glades episode, the one that's been rolling over in my mind is "Maybe you won't even twitch."
― peace, man, Monday, 18 September 2023 10:59 (one year ago) link
Tracer, I make that observation nearly every time Crockett and Tubbs make a bust. Plus, Crockett driving around in that ersatz Ferrari would be hella memorable. Not only that, they sometimes appear in public in their police identities driving the same cars!
It is funny how 12 yo me never gave these things a second thought and it was one of the first things I noticed on my rewatch.

oh I guess it was a Ferrari(-ish). should have known with that sharp nose. Weird how two high end performance car brands can both have a model named Spyder.

Nice, I just watched the s3 episode in that still, where they were undercover as streetwalkers.
Have to admit, seeing the “Big Booty Trudy” sign always makes me lol.

The one where Gina is leaning on a car with her butt out and Trudy is standing beside her. It’s in black & white.

having just watched The Glades, i figured this was the line that Mann repurposed and expanded on for Gina in the Miami Vice film.
Crockett and Tubbs really gotta be more careful i.e. their casually mentioning how they're looking for that specific guy to be their "guide" and immediately a couple of unfriendly shitkickers volunteer to drive them out into the deep swamp and they accept.

so the end of season 2...not sure if it's bad writing or I missed something. baffled by the 'I'll be back' note Tubbs receives at the funeral. Who could have written this? Calderon's son was killed in the shack explosion...right? The episode doesn't confirm this either way so I guess it must be him. And the baby - when Calderon is tying his sister down in the car, he says 'take the baby back to the main house' to one of his goons. So the baby is presumably still alive, and I guess it was an empty baby casket at the funeral? Anyway I love the focus on Tubbs in the last episode. Really felt like he took a back seat for most of season 2.
