Beginning with action accompanied by George Thorogood's "Bad To The Bone", the opening sequence climaxes with the ketchup strewn destruction of a lunch truck. "Nobody Lives Forever" is a superb episode of "Miami Vice" from director Jim Johnston. Miami Vice has got a bit of a reputation for showing off lots of beautiful women in swimsuits but this episode is clearly one for the ladies as Don Johnson spends much of it without his shirt! Overall this was a decent episode with a good mix of excitement, romance and a touch of comedy. even when he waved it in Izzy's face nobody else seemed to notice! Crockett's romance could have been a distraction from the case for the viewers as well as Crockett but it was well handled and Kim Greist did a good job as Brenda it was also nice that they didn't resort to the cliché of having her involved in the case or getting killed in the crossfire. This episode had a fair few action moments and the makers made up for the fact that they couldn't show copious amounts of blood by having the bad guys shoot a ketchup bottle not once but twice, the second time covering Izzy with a splattering of red! The punks were a little bit over the top I can't believe that nobody would have noticed one of them had a shotgun in the diner scene until he shot somebody. Clearly Crockett will have to decide whether he wants Brenda or the job. The rest of the team clearly notice but tolerate it until one day he oversleeps and Tubbs gets beaten while on a stakeout. he has a new girlfriend, Brenda, and since he started dating her, his work has been slipping. Crockett and Tubbs are soon on the case although Crockett's mind is on something other than work. This episode opens in dramatic style as three punks run somebody off the road then head to a hot dog joint and rob and kill somebody who appears to be just a customer but it turns out he and the hot dog stand are part of an illegal gambling operation.
