So you’re probably thinking, “Hey pals, where’s the Freefall? Why isn’t this Freefall?” We decided many weeks back that we would watch the lost episodes before getting to the final episode of season 5 and of Miami Vice. It’s the way it was written and we have the luxury to watch it in that order now.
Its a good thing too! In this, the first of the lost episodes, we get closure on one of the best villains from the show. Al Lombard makes his triumphant return and his final exit. We’re sad to see Al go, but its so nice to get closure on this story.
John is really impressed by the planning to drop a dead guy from a helicopter into a pool. Melissa thinks Al carries spaghetti in his pockets and Dominic wonders if the preschool Tommy goes to is the same with the pumping iron kid.
Its a fantastic episode of your Miami Vice podcast.
