okay i have been thinking about this for the past five to ten minutes and have decided to post because we need more good miami vice content on this hellsite. questionably baked theories ensuing.
What if Frank Mosca had been part of the meeting on the boat in the finale of season four?
imagining blood and roses never happened and therefore mosca is still alive (and we never get the sexual assault b plot thank god) tubbs and crockett receive word that their next assignment is to take down manolo. the catch: one frank mosca happens to have an in with the guy and taken a deal offered by the feds for early release in exchange for helping them. castillo doesn't like it but orders our boys to go ahead and do it, and crockett is downright fuming. he's unwilling until tubbs talks him off the ledge as usual.
so, we get Bereaved Sonny (tm) and tubbs and their little dance before the boat, that goes as normal, etc etc. fast forward to the explosion. instead of gutierrez having set it up, it was mosca, because he's fuckin mosca and everything's a set up. he steals away on the boat (probably'more gracefully than gutierrez did) and saves sonny in the process.
and then. when crockett gets amnesia and his head shuffled up, it's mosca taking care of him. even though mosca is aware that sonny's a cop, he's slart enough to realize that saving a cop would earn him a lot of favor with the feds. then he's like, oh shit. this guy doesn't think he's a cop anymore. he thinks he's his fucking cover id. and mosca proceeds to take advantage of this, pull the strings as per usual, etc etc.
reasons why this would have been better than blood and roses and the finale:
it puts on display mosca's manipulative behaviors for a longer time and more gracefully than what happened with him and gina.
instead of giving us a bunch of random characters we have no attachment to, we get a villain who we already have a history with and are attached to. it's all about the emotions
i just wanted more mosca/crockett enemies content. i love their dynamic
uh. mosca's satin pants. stanley tucci. i'm right.
