CLOSED SETS

“You know, there’s something you oughta know about
Starsky and me. We’re not like most partners.”

(Pilot)

An open set is what most of this compendium falls into. An open set is a broader, open-ended group. It has information from more than one episode. An example of an open set is Big Starsky Smiles or Starsky and Hutch’s Physical Contact With Huggy.

A closed set is defined as a group of three or more things, seen or heard, from the same episode. It has no further additions. An example of a closed set is what Hutch tells Laura Kanen he would be a sushi chef, a go-cart mechanic or a ballerina if he stopped being a cop. (Deckwatch)
