Glen Winter, returning to direct the series for the first time since the pilot, also contributes, presenting everything with a sense of stillness. Even the Larry thing is relatively small potatoes against that horrific sight.Ĭhris Dingess and Shoshana Sachi’s script for “Finger Patrol” really does lull the audience into a false sense of security before letting all hell break loose. After all, Cliff accidentally detaching a car thief’s finger because of his still-malfunctioning robot arm is all in good fun - and, based on Robotman 2.0 schematics, preparation - compared with Larry ending up in a Department of Defense shoot-out because his son and Dorothy sicced the Candlemaker on Baby Doll in the Underground. Even the story between Baby Doll and Dorothy is one that, while clearly doomed from the start, seems as if it’ll be on the back burner until possibly the next episode, just to allow the show to breathe for a bit.īut instead, everything boils over by the end of the episode, and the aforementioned severed finger quickly becomes a small beat compared with the rest of it.
