Sidney and I watch A SMALL AND DEADLY WAR

[sidney]

Even Face's shoes aren't fancy. They look like runners. Dirty runners even.

[sidney]

BA... Just because we've got a little problem with the law doesn't mean you have to have a BAD ATTITUDE.

hehe...

Face wanted to be a policeman when he was younger. He had a scrapbook of Dick Tracey and his favourite show was Dragnet. Learned his scams from watching episodes of bunko artists?

What are bunko artists? Was that a show?

Inspector Edward Maloney hires them. They give the money back though at the end, don't they?

cant remember lol

[sidney]

Face is doing a scam as an exterminator. He's brought Amy with him. Think he really needed her? To put the cockroach on the guy's shoulder? Was there that many in that one jar? Did he really bring her to sew?

[sidney]

Face threw the cigar and said "How can Hannibal stand those things?"

He definitely enjoys them later.

[sidney]

They're wearing N95s. I know that now. Wouldn't have been able to identify that before 2020.

of course he needed her

Collins is the lady's man.
Stark is Fulbright.
Meadows.

There was a fourth bad guy.

[sidney]

Murdock had a backwards k in his name on his video game machine.

There was another great transition. In the van, someone says: Nobody said anything about flying, and then cut to the VA and the nurse says: Nobody said anything about tuberculosis.

would have been a nice plot element if Fulbright had been really undercover, for something to happen later in the show, but just sloppy, poor casting

In PROS AND CONS, the cabinet in the back of the van opened to reveal the printing and laminating equipment. Now it's an old duo-tape audio recorder and receiver. It looks built in, too.

[sidney]

The scam to break him out of the VA is the tuberculosis scam. We should track the scams to break Murdock out. They didn't show one in JAMESTOWN or PROS AND CONS.

[sidney]

The interior of the van has wrinkles in it where Face is sitting.

Yes this sort of thing in the back of the van gimmicks and equipment was only done a few times, wish it was done more often

and we see the van at night, again that didn't happen often
