Reacher

[Drunk Monk]

I was kinda bummed they hooked up. Roscoe was a strong enough character to not be a love interest. She needs her own spin-off.

I didn't need the hook up either for Roscoe.

Ep05 was kind of dumb. Lots of stuff to service the plot. Let's all run around and do stuff. Talky talky. Glad Roscoe punched the mayor. Another nice gritty fight at the end. At this point, I'm just waiting for the denouement. I'm amazed the Atlanta FBI agent isn't dead. I'm amazed the Chief of detectives isn't dead.

And that is the end for Reacher. Boy, those last two episodes were bad. The whole mystery was dull as dishwater. The idea that the Baker could hold his own against Reacher went against all plausibility. And why would he jump into the pool to drown Reacher. And why does Reacher's own mom only call him Reacher while she refers to Reacher's brother as Joe? Lot of sappy stuff there at the end too, what with the medal for bravery and all. I liked Neagley. I liked the undertaker.

The show started hot and then petered out.

I was sure the cane would come into play

 
I still feel this was a missed opportunity.

I guess I've forgotten enough that I'm looking forward to Season 2 of Reacher which premiers December 15. The trailer makes Season 2 look fun.

And we’re back. S2 begins with Reacher saving a random woman who a carjacking victim, just to establish his kick assery. Then he’s summoned by the most mysterious means by Neagley. One of their old team was killed and someone’s on the hunt for the rest of them. And there’s a bloody assassin. The deductive ability of Reacher is ridiculous, like Holmes on steroids. Still entertaining tho. The ultravi is tasty. 

I was very amused by the Sarah Connor / Robert Patrick Easter egg. 

3 eps are available now but I just watched the first one. I’m still in.

[Greg]

Hmmm, when I checked last night the new episodes hadn't dropped. Plan to watch tonight.

[Drunk Monk]

It probably takes long for the signal to get out to those rural areas what with the windy mountain cable.

[Greg]

True story.

[Drunk Monk]

Honestly I tuned in around 8 last night. Strange that it wasn't available for you.

[Greg]

We looked for it at 7. Tonight. Tonight. Tonight. Going to make it right.

[Drunk Monk]

Premature…

[Drunk Monk]

E2: the fun continues. Reacher’s ridiculous deductive skill continue to blather on but he makes up for it in the fight scenes. His shirtless scene is also ridiculous - so jacked. The sex scene was not as ridiculous as last season’s. 

Still amusing. Still in. 

Has it climbed that windy mountain cable yet?

[Drunk Monk]

E3 continues with the ridiculous deduction and awesome fight scenes. The 110 squad has good chemistry, a 4-way buddy feature. Reacher’s bull in a China shop tactics continue to backfire and the big one in this ep made me lol at his reaction. Still very entertaining, and we’re finally getting a sense about what it’s about.

That’s all three eps that were released so far so now I wait on weekly installments.

[Greg]

We watched all three episodes over the weekend. It is all very slow going. The show needs more mayhem. Although, the shootout was fun but confusing. I couldn't keep track of who was who. Reacher does look ridiculously swole in that pre-sex scene. (I see you managed to get your shirt off) A lot of the early cool scenes were in the trailer which was a shame.

Will watch more.
