Seems there was no interest really so just kinda just abandoned it.

I'm still watching, but not saying much. I'm on "Basket Case" now.

I think Dana Hill does a fine job as Willie and it's actually her scenes with Higgy that I love the most. I love how she's just as knowledgeable as Higgy is about... well... everything. Even Higgy is impressed. Plus the basketball rivalry between TM and TC is always fun.

Back in the day, I had a crush on Willie, and I eventually married a girl like her -- athletic, long brown hair, brown eyes. Always liked that look.

At university, my friends observed that nearly every girl I liked had 3Bs: brown hair, brown eyes, and a boyfriend - lol.

"Birdman of Budapest" has to be in my top 5 for the season. Not only is it an interesting story from a historical perspective (Hungarian Revolution/Russkie go home!) and has a cool twist with the old biddy turning out to be a KGB agent (with an attack macaw to boot! ) but Sylvia Sidney is a hoot in her role! Her interactions with Higgy are an absolute gem! Seeing Higgy run after his Audi being towed away (the way he lumbers while waving his hand and yelling "halt") cracks me up every time! Also a treat to see Joseph Wiseman (the very first Bond villain - Dr. No) in the role of Tessa. I like his secluded bird sanctuary. Also love the driving scenes through Ka'a'awa Valley (or is it Kualoa Ranch?) in order to get to Tessa's hideaway. Lots to love about this one.

Ranking my top 5 for season 3 would look something like this:

1. Did You See the Sunrise?
2. Foiled Again
3. Flashback
4. Black on White
5. Birdman of Budapest (kicking 'Past Tense' down a peg)

Wow, Ivan! We rarely agree this much. My general disinterest in making favorite lists aside, four of these five are among my favorites of season three. Don’t care too much for Foiled Again though. I would probably put Mr. White Death in there instead, but don’t ask me to rank them all.
