I watched this one tonight...I only give it a 4 on the Sidney scale, because it is just okay to me, but not what I would probably call "good." There are aspects to it which never make sense to me, namely who are those guys at Bach's stereo and why are they monitoring the VA? Were they connected with Joshua? And I hate, hate, hate the fact that Hannibal is just off playing Hugh Heffner with those twins in Rio when one of his men is in real trouble.

You mean you don't love Judy Joy? It's the most exciting thing that's ever happened to her.

Judy Joy is kind of funny. She's a bit of a bright spot in this episode. I still wish Murdock had gone with Face to Hawaii instead of Jody, but on the other hand, I could see Face taking Jody over Murdock.

I actually love Jody Joy. I totally agree that she is a bright spot. She is a bright spot for Murdock - period.
I really don't classify her in with all the two-dimensional women that guest star in the series. The character is what she is. She's not inconsequential nor is she trying to appear to be a deeper character and falling flat. She's meant to be fun and a good time. Murdock enjoys her. She brings such a positive outlook to things and just makes him feel good about himself. I like her a lot.

The more I watch this episode, the less it bothers me about Hannibal being gone. Yes, I think it hurt the dynamic some, but I also think it was fun to see how Face and B.A. work together as a team. We got so little of that in the series that this episode is fun to watch in that respect.

That's true....I think I've written multiple times how I wish that Face and BA had more scenes just the two of them, and at least we did get to see them interacting some in Face's apartment. I like how BA is enjoying Face's big-screen TV and how apparently he drank up all the milk.

BA came up with two plans and saved Face. We got to see the dynamic that Facecwasnt even surprised when BA rescued him. Now based on previous episodes I would like f been worried as we never saw BA step up, he just did what he was told or asked the others to fix problems (bad time at the boarder) Wheel of fortune we got to see the green beret training as BA could work alone, plan and lead.

I liked that too, juniberry. I know the episode is really about Murdock, but I like the elements we see of Face and B.A.

Hmm....I had not perhaps thought so much about BA's involvement in this episode, but yes, he did come up with some plans. And I admit that it was pretty funny when he told that nurse at the VA that he was part of Murdock's fantasy weekend!

Makes you wonder if Face had a list of unused scams in the van for such things and B.A. found them. Much like he used to have the code cards in the pilot.

Or maybe BA stumbled across them at Face's apartment, like how Hannibal found the Doublefresh gum stationery?

This had the potential to be a very good episode but it wore off sadly. The badguys were confusing but they were good for the part. I would've had them to together. Different direction in the second half would've made this better. This is a storyline that has scale and scope so think this is another episode like "Sheriffs of Rivertown" that would've made for a great two-parter.
