Miami Vice: Season 4, Episodes 6-8

I took a long break from watching this season, which is odd as when I start watching a TV box set I usually see it through to the finish with minimal interruptions - you'll find out what does tend to interrupt whatever series I'm watching as time goes by on theis blog. This means i'm starting at Episode 6:

Episode 4.6 God's Work - Decent pro-gay, anti 'AIDS victim haters' episode with a few twists but nothing stand-out except Crockett never even firing a gun... he had a nice little speedboat chase though.

Episode 4.7 Missing Hours - Weird alien abduction, MiB, secret government project episode with James Brown in, of all people. Failed to hang together for me as it tries to explain things and be 'unexplained' at the same time... leave that sort of thing to X-Files, guys.

Episode 4.8 Like a Hurricane - Good episode which sets up the Crockett marries singer (Sheena Easton!) story arc (very very quickly: they bitch a lot, the realise they like each other, they fall in love and are married all in this episode). They even manage to fit in Crockett getting to blast away with his S&W (the old Colt Delta Elite retired before this season) and have a quick powerboat to powerboat shoot-out.

Sadly Sheena does have the feel of the 'respected old partner with a few days to retirement' in the first half hour of a cop movie though and it really feels like it'll end in tears...
