DVD, Starsky & Hutch S4 (Targets Without a Badge, part III)
The mayor at the end, in a runaway performance had been in it before as a very un-mayor-like cafe/shop owner, friends with S&H!
There were so many villains running around in this one, it got a bit confusing. I'm not sure why McClellan was killed by Soldier (supposedly so he couldn't blab about his boss, the other white-haired old guy), and I really don't get why Soldier wanted to exchange Allison for one of the guys, apart from to make a tense situation for viewers.
This is more like the second part the last episode should have been, with the story of the girl and her Dad a rather pointless detour, that doesn't come into this part much. It is a bit messy, and you can see why they didn't make any other multi-part stories. A shame in a way, as the two-parters are some of the best episodes. Ultimately the idea didn't work too well, with very undramatic moments such as the duo agreeing to come back on the force, after they are simply asked to. Where's the drama in that? Huggy and Dobey are pretty well used, and there is occasional humour, but we aren't seeing the series at it's best.
