Yeah, I was pretty bummed that more than half of the wrap up to this series consisted of montage footage. Clip shows are usually a sign that writers are on strike (or are about to be), or one or more of the stars needs a break or is unavailable... so the producers, still needing to have something to shoot, write around them and cough up a "bottle" episode. Regardless of why, it was lame to close this how out that way. And I completely agree that the lack of anything focusing on Walter was a real shame. Sadly though, many of these kids' shows don't bother with much character development; it's just "monsters, explosions & heroes" to keep the tykes seated in front of the boobtube. Things have gotten better on a few series I've caught of late, but the problem has gotten even harder to overcome nowadays with the reduction of actual show runtime allotment, in order to pack in more friggin' commercials! Ugh.
I am slowly coming around on Solbrain, but you'll probably be pretty indifferent again, Kain, because it's even more 'pedestrian' than Winspector. NO monsters/aliens/weirdness at all. At least none up to ep 23, which is where I'm at now. Also, the lack of character background/backstory continues on this show, too. The robot (Dozer) officer gets pushed even further into the background than Walter & Bikel. There's only been one episode focusing (somewhat) on him, but he's kind of boring really, so I haven't minded much. The draw with this show is the crimes, more than the heroes. And good lord is this show violent! (At least from the perspective of it being kids' entertainment.) There are people being shot point blank (multiple times!) with bloody bullet hits, hit & runs shown, and more! I was quite taken aback. I still plan to finish it out, but it's pretty uneven; stronger crime stories but even weaker protagonist development than its predecessor. Though as with all things, YMMV.
