Spoiler!

Biggest complaint I have is that Reacher has 'God Mode' turned on. He's never wrong. He's never injured.

Everybody saying "Hey, Swan's dirty" and Reacher won't admit it. So you KNOW he isn't. It's just a matter of giving us the 'twist' that proves that Reacher was right all along.

I don't mind a damn competent protagonist but the problem with Reacher's infallibility is that it becomes a Chekov's Gun of sorts. His unwavering belief in Swan gives the story away because you know he's going to be proven right in the end.

I agree. It happens way too often. Too many of the people who make these things think 'if a little bit does a little good then a lot of it has to do a lot of good' and it sucks.

I'll watch the rest of this season but I doubt I'll invest much time in any more of it.

Have to agree with both of you. This season has been a complete let down and I loved the first season. It was great even if some of the things you guys mentioned happened a bit in that season as well. The first season just seemed to work. It is almost like the writers just dialed it in on this one.

Buehler445 01-10-2024 07:18 PM

I blame the writers strike.

Hopefully the next one is better.

I'm enjoying season 2 and I think it's great.

mr. tegu 01-10-2024 09:48 PM

The cheese and invincibility of the good guys is definitely ramped up a bit but I’m still enjoying it.

Indian Chief 01-11-2024 09:29 AM

I still enjoy it for what it is, but yes, they need to put a little more effort into the writing. Unfortunately I think that's a symptom of many TV shows and movies these days. Writing talent seems to be lacking.

Neagley is packing some heat, as well

The fact that Amazon refuses to give me a little gratuitous nudity with Dixon just makes me angry.

My word she's good lookin'

And there isn't a look she couldn't pull off. You want upscale professional? Done. Insecure secretary - she'll rock a 9.5 there. Slutty nurse/stripper - she'd kill it.

Total package of hot.

She looks good in military dress, jeans and a t-shirt, and my lord how she rocked that dinner dress (couldn't find an image, dammit).

To steal Buehler's line - I'd win wars for her.

Found one!

Dixon

I don't really need to expand on anything already said above. Just wanted to show support.
