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."

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.

Porsche Spyder iirc?

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.
― Josefa, Saturday, 23 September 2023 23:11 (eight months ago) link
Which still are you referring to?
― calstars, Saturday, 23 September 2023 23:35 (eight months ago) link
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.

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

dusting off memories on this one, and I'm pretty sure i had exactly the same reaction. You have to wait ...

S3 though, gawd.

Ep 5 is amazing tho

Nope, not that one. Ep11
― Ste, Saturday, 30 September 2023 18:15 (seven months ago) link
and Ep22 is something else
― Ste, Saturday, 30 September 2023 18:16 (seven 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).
― Josefa, Saturday, 30 September 2023 18:21 (seven months ago) link
The shift in the color palette is quite striking, you suddenly see yellows and greens and lots of neon blue.

I was in love with that white Ferrari

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.
