[QUOTE="Seaviewer, post: 115166, member: 57"] Unlike you, I don't remember watching this before. That may be true of most of the episodes from this point. I was already a fan by this time but since they were never repeated they've all sort of blurred into a general affection. Henrikson in these roles is remarkably un-creepy compared to his signature turns in [I]Aliens[/I] and [I]Millennium[/I]. I wondered whether King was his real name or a nom de guerre adopted for its dominating inferences. There's been a subtle change in the way the female cops are being treated. Without making a point of it, Chris and Mary Beth's abilities are no longer being questioned. In earlier seasons someone might have suggested that the predicament was some fault of theirs but here even Isbecki pitches in for his colleagues without any derogatory comment. And in the scene where Chris visits the scene of the robbery, she finds a female detective in charge. Again, nothing is made of it. This sequence reminded me of the [I]Knots Landing[/I] season 5 finale. We know what's supposed to happen and events tick off until the unforseen twist. In fact, one them is also a woman. Again unremarked. As heart-warming as the freeze-frame of the two women was, I was disappointed that we didn't see Mary Beth's reunion with Harve. When the unusual end credit continuation started I thought we might see it then but the view was too far away to be sure. [/QUOTE]
