Hardcastle and McCormick 1.21

Good story, well told with pace and lots of comedy. A treat.

This one is great fun from start to finish. Full of laughs and a storyline that is smart and moves fast.

Guest star Patrick Collins gets a lot of screentime and is just a terrific addition to the show, as Mark’s shy mechanic who “borrows” the Coyote to impress a blind date and ends up rescuing her from gunmen. Thus involving Mark and the Judge with criminals who think nothing of blackmail or murder.

Long before they are part of the story, the scenes with the two leads are comedy gold as the script confidently draws attention to the ludicrous lifestyle they have (and a car perpetually riddled with bullet-holes).

The story evolves naturally. And it well into the episode before the guys are undercover and on the case. Cue: more laughs.

We get comedy, car chases and shootouts and - thanks to the casting - an utterly charming love story in the end.

9/10

Angel rewatch: Blind Date (1.21)

oh yeah, i remember this episode, with the LA daredevil

i just love angel being an asshole to lindsey

that smarmy lawyer-who's-not-lindsey got beat up by faith two episodes ago, and he's all ready to get frisky with the next hired assassin. the guy loves to live dangerously

i love it when lindsey gets doubts. look at him worrying for the children!!

you're working for the baddies and you want to be reformed? go to angel and you'll get a second chance in life! this is something i like very much about this show. also, i love lindsey mcdonald

angel is a bit hypocritical telling lindsey that he's got to make a decision to change, when he himself was forced into changing (not saying he isn't right though)

angel met gunn just last episode and he already goes to him for help!! i told you that boy was essential!

gunn being great whilst lindsey tries to be good. this episode almost has it all. it also is pretty fun to see regular security guards staking a vamp

oh, angel. prophecies are never good for you. this is the first instance of it but it won't be the last...

i love that lilah is the kind of woman who grabs someone else's wrist to check the time.

the shot of lindsey with lee's blood on his face is one of my fave for the whole show i think

willow helping cordy on the phone to decrypt files is the reason they decided they needed fred on the show.

angel fighting the blind assassin is reminiscent to buffy fighting the invisible girl in s1

i've always found it sad that lindsey chose to take the deal w&h was giving him, but it makes him such an interesting character. i just love it. to me lindsey is interesting enough to be a main character, and i'll always be a bit sad he never got to be one
