So true. Everyone mentions their co-favorite episodes so I'll nominate "Evan." One of the very first mentions of discrimination against gays and how it affected a former "Three Musketeers" group of Academy grads which included Crockett. Netflix censored that one out of the lineup, which is inexcusable. Probably just because main character Crockett utters the "faggot" word, even though it's in the context of showing just how wrong they were back in the day. Thus completely missing the point of the episode.

This is a masterful six minutes from the greatest episode in television history. Don Johnson, who was underrated as an actor, is absolutely at his best. At the 5:53 mark, when the body of Arcaro is revealed, Johnson's expression moves subtly from apprehension/fear to shock/revulsion to resignation/relief in just a few moments -- it's wonderful. McGill, of course, is fantastic throughout the entire episode. Finally, David Strathairn -- long before he was well-known -- seals the deal with his defiant, ""He was my partner, you understand? Understand?"

@motoman2WH3

4 жыл бұрын

Agree on all points. Noticed the same about Johnson's/Crockett's reaction to the body, and as he reaches for the newspaper. Didn't give it enough credit at the time. Also, note that this early in the series Tubbs was an equal partner and this was arguably *his* episode moreso than Crockett's. Strathairn was one of many guests who went on to bigger things after appearing on "Vice" and was indeed excellent here. McGill was great, slightly "off" but that fit somehow. It was intriguing to read that the role was written for Dennis Hopper. Always felt McGill was young for the role as written, but figured it was because his character went loony and was forced into early retirement.

Like somebody else said- the acting was superb. Don Johnson’s eyes are always moving, just like he was searching a building. He was using police tactics that were in use at the time, the “quick peek” into the room at the top of the stairs. When Weldon picks up the pipe Crockett & Tubbs raises their guns slightly, as if they were ready to shoot Weldon if they had to. At the end while Crockett is talking to Weldon’s old partner Castillo is in the background having a muted conversation with a uniform. All brilliant touches.

This is the greatest scene in TV history.

This has got to be the tightest 6-odd minutes of any TV show, and even in middle age, I remember it from when I was 12 - got burned on my brain, and I'm okay with that.

Best scene from the best episode of the show. Bruce McGill and David Strathairn are two absolute powerhouses.

For over 10 years, every time my dad has heard this Dire Straits song he’s told me and my sister a story about how there was a man who was killed and then stuffed into a wall and no one found him for years. I grew up believing it was a true story and was scared by it when I was little and come to find out he’s been telling us this scene from Miami vice all along!

In ‘85 I moved for my junior year of high school and one of the only kids who was welcoming was a guy named Scott. He played peace maker when I almost got into a fight and then invited the guy I almost fought to his house and we snuck some whiskey from his dad’s liquor cabinet and all became friends. The week that we left for college we had some beers and listened to this album and the title song meant a lot to us. We all saw each other at Christmas break and had some fun thinking we’d have the rest of our lives. During second semester, Scott was home for a visit and wrecked a four wheeler crushing his skull between the metal rack on the back and a rock. This song always takes me back to those fun times with my friend.

This is easily my favorite music scene from the entire series. I remember watching it when it first aired. Come back to it every once in a while.

I think the very essence of the entire Miami Vice series is when Sonny acknowledges he understands why Weldon's partner never told anyone of Arcaro's murder and cover-up

This ending is utterly iconic.

Bruce McGill is one of those one-shot actors that a lot of TV shows bring on for just one episode and never mention again, but he's so much fun to watch that he stays with you in a way that most guest-stars-of-the-week never do. This is a case in point.

I've always been amused how often in this series we see bits of South Beach that were, at the time, literal slums. It was said that one reason trendy South Beach retains so much iconic Art Deco architecture is that, back then, it was not even worth tearing it down!

Watching it now, I can’t feel what it did for me like before.

Such a dweeb.

Fantastic. When actors and directors tried to give their best.

Quite a haunting scene, cruising in the desolate streets of Miami foreshadowing the chilling plot twist at the haunted motel which is so tragic & sad, it just hits you in the guts leaving an eternal scar as a dark warning that obsession comes with a heavy price. Dire Straits' "Brothers In Arms" fits so perfectly in this climatic atmosphere that it was ill-fated to be a new wave, hard-boiled, neo-noir masterpiece of television. A classic that should've been acknowledged for a Peabody Award.

BEST CLASSIC PIECE EVER.

When you keep coming back to a segment of a tv show that aired 30+ years ago. This is timeless.

I rewatch it again and again 😍

@@motoman2WH3 That’s a good theory. Mine was more along the lines of, Weldon’s guilt was eating him from the inside out. But Weldon knew he couldn’t just walk into the MD office and tell the officers “I killed Tony Arcaro and I can show you where his body is.” Chances are they would have dismissed him the way Crockett and Tubbs dismissed Weldon when they found him on the hood of Tubbs’ Cadillac, “Look, Hank, we’re cops, not social workers. We’ve got work to do.” By feeding and Crockett and Tubbs valuable information which led to a huge drug bust, Weldon established just enough credibility with the MD-PD to take Weldon’s phone call about confronting Arcaro at 112 S. Waters Street seriously.

I don't know what it is about Michael Mann. I love everything he does. Manhunter, Heat, Band of the Hand, and Thief to name a few. The darkness of his work just sets a tone rarely seen anywhere else.

They timed the great high guitar riff right at the end after Crockett says “yeah” to the “you understand “ so well.

My dad used to rave on about this scene, I never understood it until he died. I decided to play it as we carried out his coffin. You were right dad, no better televison scene

The great Bruce McGill! One of the best episodes of any series ever, Out Where The Busses Don't Run, season two. Just brilliant.

Its amazing how miami vice spoke about mental health, drugs, homosexuality (the episode where crocketts partner had done suicide because he was gay) and what those can do to people if you judge them by it, waaay before these times

That’s true. The music by Dire Straights was so perfectly matched to the scene - “Brothers in Arms”, written about the war in The Falklands, translated to the partnerships of the detectives, who were also brothers in arms. Great, great scene - all of the elements fit together so well, it was truly perfection.

I like how they build the drama to the big shoot out at the end and it never comes. Really sad episode with great use of Dire Straits.
