I have to say that as much as he plays a bumbling idiot, this may be Red West's breakout performance. Yes he plays the bumbling security guard fat slob in HERE'S LOOKING AT YOU, KID and yes he plays the bumbling cowboy in DESPERADO, but he plays a HIGHLY competent CIA agent and one that Bill respects enough to pseudo back-off a case. I found that MOST interesting, especially when we see other episodes like FIRE MAN where the rivalry is intense. I think Red did a stellar job playing the CIA officer.

I really like the dialogue between Bill and Bobo too. I bet the actor had a good time with that role. I would've liked to have seen a bit more of him, with the two federal agents playing off one another. Brought up some good background on Bill's career too.

I agree. I wish we could have seen Bill and Bobo cross paths a couple more times when Ralph and Bill are snooping around. I think the death was just too convenient a way to get rid of all the extra players so that others such as Klein could step in. Too bad because I think Klein and Bobo versus Bill and Ralph would have made a great "race to find the answers" episode...unlike ones such as FIRE MAN where everyone is dragging behind. At least here, Bill RESPECTED these two and that would have made the race even harder...especially for Bill.
