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 (five days ago) link

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.

The last episode I watched Tubbs was on the phone and said "It's Tubbs - Tough, Unique, Bad, Bold, and Sassy"
love this show

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.

First ep of S3 … haircuts, darker clothes, and new car (without explanation)… Crockett losing control at the end in the back seat of the limo

and Ep22 is something else
― Ste, Saturday, 30 September 2023 18:16 (eleven months ago) link
xps Are you sure that's the first ep because the black Ferrari was destroyed by a Stinger missile in S3 ep1 and then in the next episode it's kind of covertly suggested that the new white Ferrari was repossessed from the principal in The Breakfast Club who had appeared in s3 ep1 (and repainted).

The shift in the color palette is quite striking, you suddenly see yellows and greens and lots of neon blue.

I told my wife two upcoming guest stars were some of my favorite musicians of all time (Miles, Willie Nelson) and she guessed Bob Dylan, Geddy Lee, and Jimi Hendrix (lol) and now I want to see those episodes.

I recently picked up the Season 2 boxset of this recently and Im loving it. The music is tremendous too, always 3 or 4 bangers every episode. The Bushido episode is one of my favourites. Theres an intense trippy psychedelic moment where Castillo meets a Buddhist shaman. Pretty out-there for an 80s cop show, The episode is so brilliantly ludicrous with a turn from Dean Stockwell also
I was mad into Miami Vice when it first aired. It was shown here on Ireland on Saturday night and it was always popular. Cop shows are always popular here but this had some glamour and flash to it compared to something like Hill Street Blues. I was about 10 or 11 at the time when it was at its most populat. A lot of it went over my head but I liked the action, flashy suits and cars. I actually wore a Crockett-esque suit for my Confirmation, it was plaid though I had that particular dark green shirt that was popular in the 80s. Skinny tie and grey leather slip-ons too. I remember writing a Miami-Vice inspired short story about detectives finding cocaine being smuggled in via a truckload of lemon swiss rolls (yknow, where the cream is). My mum and my brothers had a good laugh about that one. I was incensed though, I meant it to be a hard hitting crime story!

Lol, great post.
We just watched that Dean Stockwell episode last week. This run of Season 2 has just the craziest guest stars: Bob Balaban/Patty D'Arbanville/G. Gordon Liddy/Iman, Phil Collins/Emo Phillips/Kyra Sedgwick, and Ted Nugent.

I've noticed the fake beer that they usually drink on the show looks like Löwenbräu, or sometimes Miller High Life - which were from the same company so maybe there was some sort of deal
