Criminal Intent

The actor is tall, taller even than Hutch was before age started to make him shorter. Sometimes Hutch worries that's why Starsky likes the show so much. Still, even now, after so many years together, Starsky only has eyes for one man, and that's Hutch. So maybe it's really the actress he likes. She's smaller, little and cute, like Terry was.

But when he asks, Starsky says no. "It's not the actors, it's the characters. They remind me of us, before."

"What do you mean?"

"They're in love but they won't do anything about it, because the partnership comes first."
