Ed Nelson plays an Ed Nelson type character in Along Came A Spider. I'm not saying Ed Nelson is a bad actor, but he often played bad characters. So you figure right from the get go Ed Nelson is playing a bad guy. Even when you're supposed think, "Gee, I guess Ed is a good guy after all," you know deep in your heart he is a bad guy.
Instead of trying to hide under the pier, Suzanne Pleshette should have run over to Jim Rockford's trailer and pounded on his door in the climatic scene. Jimmy would have helped her. Plus, it would have given him some experiencing in dealing with Ed, who he would cross paths with a couple of times in the future.
I did like the fact that cop Andrew Prine had to leave a "tear gas convention" to save SP. I'm not sure Joe Friday would have done that. Then again, Joe Friday would also never have had a girlfriend who was prone to saying, "groovy."
