Hi, Riker.
You said --
A pitch battle is taking place in the street outside a restaurant. Hunter and McCall up against a mini-army. Luckily, for a busy city, there are no other people around. Then, for reason that I can fathom, Dee Dee McCall ups and runs across the street (through the hale of gunfire) whereupon she is then clobbered by An Evil Henchman and carried off in a manner that is quite amusing. He even carried her off into a secret tunnel!!
McCall had been quite passive throughout the episode. Rick was leading the way on this one. She was just doing as she was told, as much as we could figure. Then, BAM, she's snatched away to be a hostage. Sigh. McCall deserves better.

I'll have to agree with you there. I've wondered too, about that shootout scene. Oh, and the tunnel...strange. I guess ya just never know what's behind door #2. Hee hee!
Have you ever seen the short lived cop series starring Leslie Neilsen (sp)? I can't remember the name of the show, but it was one of those silly satire shows like his movies. Anyway, there's a scene in one ep. where he and another cop are hiding behind garbage cans shooting, while the criminal shoots back. But, during what seems like several minutes of gunfire and misses, the camera pulls back and shows us that they are only about five feet away from each other, instead of across the street like it seems.
That shootout scene in Night/Dragons reminds me of that.
Thanks for sharing.
