Wasn't familiar with the name Aaron Lipstadt, but looked him up and I am familiar with some of his work. I see that he was a production manager on
Battle Beyond the Stars
, which makes him a legend in my book.
Vice
did a pretty good job of bringing plot threads and characters back in (which aids greatly in its world building), but they also left some major ones dangling. For instance I know that we never hear anymore about Rico Jr. either, which is mind boggling.A journey into the realm of the obscure:

I'm not either. Had to look that name up just to make sure I was reading properly.
Not sure why IMDb has Lipstadt credited as the writer, but "Payback" was actually written by Robert Crais:

Anyhoo, you're right, Rico's son was another dangling thread, even though we got closure on Calderone's kid (Leguizamo).
Forget MIT or Stanford now. They wouldn't touch us with a 10-meter cattle prod. -

Talking about this episode makes me want to watch it again.

Ahhh, okay, that's my bad then. I looked it up after I got home from work, and my caffeine level had dipped below critical

I see Crais is well versed in the world of cops and crooks. I was about to ask why Hollywood hasn't come knocking to adapt his novels, but I saw they already have
Hostage (2005)
.
I suppose it would've been a bit of a buzzkill to have Tubbs changing diapers in between busting bad guys, but it's really surprising they didn't do more with that particular thread. Then again, Sonny's family sorta falls out of the picture as well.A journey into the realm of the obscure:

Just watched this episode again and the great scene you were referring to. I think that was the biggest smile and laugh he ever had in the entire series.

Well wait, Crockett married Sheena Easton?! Huh. Yeah, how could Castillo not smile at that?
