Hooray!
The first 3 episodes ("Echoes Of The Mind," "Ehcoes Of The Mind Part 2," and "Mac's Back") tell a continuous story. Despite their titles, those first 2 episodes were originally broadcast a week apart, so don't be expecting a continuous 2 hour episode. This is different than how previous seasons handled such stories, where they were braodcast as a continuous 2 hour episode. Anyway, these 3 episodes are all among the very best of the entire series.
The end of "Mac's Back"
This is a real treat for long time fans who are paying attention.
"Blind Justice" has a plot that's like a really good episode of "Law And Order."
"Torah Torah Torah" is a great example of religious faith.
The singer at the bar in "Let Me Hear The Music" does a nice cover of Linda Ronstadt's version of the Everly Brothers' song "When Will I Be Loved." If you like it, I recommend Ronstadt's album "Heart Like A Wheel."

Thanks for pointing that out 'big train'. grundle's enthusiasm got me interested enough that I was reconsidering my decision not to buy season 5, but since I already have the episodes mentioned those won't be a factor. I like the show a lot, but I still have a few more episodes in season 3 to watch and all but the first episode of season 4 to watch.

Well, at least you can watch them continuously without switching discs. Despite the fact that it's called "Mac's Back" and not "Ehcoes Of The Mind Part 3," it is a continuous story.

Thanks for the info!
I for one will be looking forward to it very much...the quick release of Season 4 after Season 3 was great, I hate the long wait...
Now if they would get Season 3 for Miami Vice out.......
