  • The recasting is done for the original era.
  • Chelsea Field could be improved on, with respect to her as Mrs. Scott Bacula, though the part is better as written.
  • Renee Rousseau is floated for the wife, but the reply is that Chelsea Field wears the toll of the failed marriage and Rousseau would not be dragged down by someone like Joe.
  • A jab about finally doing a Two for the Money pod follows.
  • Treating Renee Russo as vetoed, Don Johnson is proposed for Joe and welcomed, seven years out of Miami Vice.
  • Don Johnson never had the right movie part and lobbied Oliver Stone to play Jim Garrison; this could have been an awesome Sonny Crockett part.
