Birds of a Feather

DVD, Starsky & Hutch S4 (Birds of a Feather)

Martin Kove (Jimmy Lucas) was the bad guy in the Karate Kid films, I think. Minnie pops up again, albeit briefly. And it's another good police mate that gets into trouble and turns bad. At least it had a slightly happier ending than the last one, but it's still a theme that is depressingly familiar. Do they have any old friends who are just straight good guys?

There were some good fight scenes, but I don't think the episode held up all that well as a story. It's not a bad one, but it doesn't have enough humour (because it's a serious story), or tension, which it should have. At least Huggy and Dobey are in it a bit. Was it my imagination, or does Reuben call his secretary Chloe the first time we see her, and Gloria the rest of the time?
