I don't like Murdock that much in season 5 when he has the main role. I hate SPY WHO MUGGED ME and especially his character in it. And I hate CRYSTAL SKULL and his character in it as well. I feel like those are his main two episodes in season 5.

"Spy Who..." Eh, might've been okay if it wasn't completely out-of-character for our Murdock. As Murdock playing a role, though, it was sort of funny. "Crystal Skull" was just straight-up dorky (and unfortunately, any racist tones of his character weren't exactly unheard-of for Murdock; he was the worst of any of them on that front and it makes me feel bad for loving him).
There's also the one where he stands in for the bad guy and pretends to be deaf, and the one where he pretends he's the scientist and gets kidnapped by the Russians and is awkwardly hitting on the Russian scientist lady. Oh, and "Road To Hope," but that's not S5.

The one where he's deaf is in Season 4, I think (THE A-TEAM IS COMING, THE A-TEAM IS COMING, isn't it?). Him hitting on the Russian scientist lady is more the way I like my Murdock, awkward. If he had played Logan Ross like that, awkward (kind of like Hunkman), I think I would have enjoyed it more, but it would not have done well for the mission.

I think the "awkward" is all an act, though. Murdock can be smooth and cool when he needs to be (as in the two episodes I mentioned). I thought both Hunkman and the thing with the Russian scientist were put on deliberately. We never see him as awkward with women any other time (except the bit of awkwardness with Kelly, and we all agree that's sort of weird too, on the part of both of them. I still wonder if that's because they were both super-awkward and middle-school-ish when they actually did meet...)

(I've not quite figured out how to bring Tawnia back. Amy I can manage once by perhaps saying she's back in the U.S. and they happen to have a job right around then, so she comes with them for nostalgia and maybe even because they need her help with something. Tawnia's harder, because she basically quit the team because she got married, which to me is more of a hard-and-fast stop-- what would happen for it to be "okay" for her as a now-married woman to help them out? {Then again, I don't know why it would be a problem in the first place. Brian knows what she and the team are all about, so why couldn't she still hang out with them?} Haha, I just realized... maybe she had to quit because not only was Brian cool with her still going on team jobs, but he also wanted to come along... and she was like, "nope!"
