I find it very moving, the fleshing out of Woody's character. I like who he is - stubborn, but for good reasons. Tenacious, but not in a scary way. Looking at who he's supposed to be, I see people I don't think of too much anymore, and I think of how the same traits could go so many different ways. Being an idealist, but not an idealogue. That may be the key to having the life of your dreams. Of course, maybe he is. I just think it's interesting how we all could have so many potential outcomes. Did this spinoff make it at all?
Ahh I love this episode. I've seen it a few times now, but still love it as much as I did the first time. This is one of the unusual episodes where the show focusses on one particular character and barely shows the others. This time the focus is on Woody who is vacationing but finds himself smack bang in the middle of a case. It's great to see Woody doing some real legwork, without the distraction of Jordan. The LA setting is fun. The best scenes of the episode are the one in which Woody is in the interrogation room with Detective Owens explaining that people misunderstand him because he is cute, and the scene in which Woody is trying unsuccessfully to get the guard dog to remember him!
Overall an excellent example - possibly my favourite episode.
