Summary

"Gunther's bullets took away his ability to walk, but can he learn to keep on living? That's the challenge Starsky must face. Snapshots of time over the next 20 years show how Starsky, with Hutch beside him, turns tragedy into triumph. Much was lost, but much more was gained."

From the Editorial

When I watched Sweet Revenge for the first time, I noticed the placement of Starsky's bullet holes. Yes, I know, I'm odd like way. But what I noticed was that two of the bullets went fairly close to his spine on both sides. As I watched the episode more and more, I began to realize that it was possible that Starsky suffered temporary paralysis from the injury, either thtough cord shock or swelling. [ decided that there was a story there to tell and so far [ hadn't seen anyone else tell it.

I set off on what was supposed to be a one story, temporary paralysis, recovery plot for Starsky. He and Hutch would realize their love for one another as he made his way through rehabilitation and then he would walk again and all would be normal. Except, the words Starsky and normal can never go in the same sentence. The deeper I got into the thought, the more adamant Starsky was with the realization that "you know I'm never gonna walk again, right?" Well, no, I didn't know that, bur he made it clear that this was a long-term injury and that there was a wonderful story waiting to be told.

I witnessed all the pain he was harboring, all the denial and depression and plain outrage that this life was something he had to grow accustomed to. There was the joy of discovery that where one path ends, another begins. Families grew and love deepened along the journey that Starsky and Hutch took from 1979 to 1999. And as life often does, the focus went from Starsky being the victim to Starsky being the victor. The years since his injury caused him to be less viewed as the person with an inabiliry to a person with different abilities. Life changes us all, but the key is to make the best out of the situation you're given.
