*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
Part two of "Gearjammers" is every bit as good as part one. In this episode they find out why the goons have been trying to kill Rocky and why the six semi trucks were stolen. As Jim himself notes, "it's a beautiful con."
There's lots of good scenes in this half. There's one where Rocky blusters over the way Jim tries to protect him, pointing out how when he's worried about Jim getting hurt, that doesn't seem to "make no difference". It rings very true and is a defining moment in the relationship. There's also a great moment as Jim argues with his insurance agent Willie over the destruction of the Firebird in part one. The insurance company is trying to get out of paying Jim (again) for the car, claiming it was the result of "civil disorder" which they are not liable. Then he tries to claim it was collision despite the fact the car blew up from the inside. On the "Rockford Files", everybody is cheap!
There's some great action chases in this including one that Rocky gets involved with as the old gearjammer himself gets in a rig and gives chase to the bad guys. It's a very unusual chase and pure Rockford Files.
There is a bit of a blooper when the bad guys use a shotgun to blow out the back window of Rocky's truck (hope he has a different insurance agent than Jim!). The chase that follows clearly shows the window intact with no sign of the shotgun blast.
Neverthelesss, this is a terrific episode.
