Reactions and Reviews

I hadn't read this sequel before, and I loved the return of OC Steve, though it broke my heart to read of his fate. I think he was more fleshed out this story, in that we see action to his friendship with Hutch. Oh my, poor Hutch. I do worry that such an injury as the broken bat would've done more damage and the healing seemed too fast - both physically and emotionally. But the angst was still there, and the build-up of Starsky's anger and passion all at once, with him being unable to understand how to handle the emotional aspects of those emotions coming at him all at once. So he does what he does best (other than love Hutch) - goes after the bad guys. I liked the continuity reflecting back to the episode, 'The Committee', even though different players were involved. The bad cops were better fleshed out OCs compared to '99 Miles'.

Poor Hutch! I love that Starsky almost slept with that girl and could finally understand Hutch. I loved Steve's character. He seems very nice and all in the first story, but he is a little manipulative and I like that he had studied up on Hutch, it show he was after him from the beginning. Great intense read, thank you!

I love sequels. Gives us so much more to like. I like the drama of Starsky finally realizing that he almost did what Hutch had done with Steve. Finally Starsky can understand what Hutch did and why. Starsky was determined to bring to justice those fellow cops that hurt Hutch and left him to die. The ending was spectacular. Like you said, "Me and Thee, Forever."
