In Color!

One by one several of the passengers offered me gifts, which they pressed upon me with an earnestness which would take no denial; these were certainly of an odd and varied kind, but each was given in simple good faith, with a kindly word, and a blessing, and that strange mixture of fear-meaning movements...

Questioning how the bird could have possibly ended up more than 300 miles from the nearest ocean, sources confirmed Friday that a seagull that was spotted this far inland must be a total fuckup.

Several eyewitnesses, who watched the seagull aimlessly wander around a Target parking lot that was located two whole states away from any coastal habitat that could provide proper food, shelter, and protection to the animal, told reporters the bird was more than likely a complete shit-for-brains and a huge fucking embarrassment to its species.

Below is a reply from Stone-Cold Local Milk Hen reading: "I love this - not least because it looks like something a civilization might produce after a violation of the Prime Directive."

But Death in a Different Place? Bro…every scene reads like Hutch is about to soft launch his own coming out to Starsky. To summarize for those of you who may need a refresher, another (and much older, and married) cop is killed and it quickly becomes apparent he was leading a double life and had ongoing affairs with men.

Starsky struggles with some homophobia, meanwhile Hutch is very quietly accepting about the whole thing. There’s a brief moment in the beginning where he’s surprised and even a little defensive, presumably given the fact the guy was married to a woman for 22 years. He says things like “John being gay doesn’t take away any of the other things he was” and, to Starsky, “if he’d come out to you how would you have felt” with this sense of resignation. It’s like he’s speaking from experience. Yall can tell me if I’m delusional but that’s 100% how it reads to me. Then at the end we have the absolutely iconic scene that’s been screenshot a billion times and also is, and always will be, insane

Hutch: “Starsky, would you consider that a man who spends seventy-five per cent of his time with another man has got certain tendencies?”

Starsky: “Seventy-five – you mean three-quarters?”

Hutch: “Right.”

Starsky: “Yeah. Sure. Why not. You mean that was the case between John and…”

Hutch: “No, no, that’s the case between you and me.”

Starsky: “What?!”

Hutch: “Well, figure it out. In a five-day week, there are about eighty waking hours, right?”

Starsky: “Yeah.”

Hutch: “We work, eat, and drink about twelve of those hours, right? That’s sixty hours a week, seventy-five per cent of the time we spend together and you’re not even a good kisser.”

Starsky: “How do you know that?”

There's an academic book called Ethereal queer: Television, Historicity, Desire. It has a lengthy analysis of this episode, and I love this quote:

Wunmi Mosaku as Annie.

"She is a spiritualist, conjure woman, and a healer. She is a pillar and center in the community. She owns a little shop with roots, herbs, and she also cooks. She is Smoke’s other half. She is a part of him in a way that she’s his healer and his sanctuary, his place of vulnerability and openness. He can’t hide from her. Neither can she hide from him. She’s a mother and she’s someone who is deeply rooted in her traditions. She’s connected to the motherland, and she’s connected to the spiritual world—she’s a very powerful person."- Wunmi Mosaku.
