Wait, he's about to get saved by a trans self-insert character in the back half the season.

Fuck, I'm agreeing with folder.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised it's turning out this way because the end of the first season was pretty weak with a generic warehouse shootout with dozens of faceless loyal bad guys in that Podunk area. Nothing about this season feels compelling and fresh in any way.

This show has a compelling main character that at least pretends to be not shitlibby. But there is something about the story where it just kind of 'continues' rather than builds. At some point with the whole 'secret police' B plot it's like, OK so there's going to be betrayal and some g-men doing things. The Sherlock 'look at shoes and know 300 facts about man' thing doesn't really help. Maybe it's because the books are more methodical or written better? It seems like it could be interesting but S1 ended up being Hulklock Holmes and the Midsize Criminal Organization.

I took that at a subtle stab against white hillbilly nra type gun selling. Or at least the shitlib perception. I think there are a lot of those types of stabs in this show. Just no one pays attention cause the show ain't good enough to analyze

It's because they're both white! If Reacher was black the store owner would have shot him when he walked in!

I mean, it requires significant suspension of disbelief. He's a jacked huge guy with extensive knowledge on a wide variety of subjects and he gets that way by walking around with his toothbrush. It's basically a super hero story. Plenty of stuff bothers me about this season, the concrete bath, the concrete block, etc etc etc. The last episode was pretty good though and overall I like this about as much as I liked Longmire. It's better than most stuff and the wife watches it with me, good enough. There's no way the guitar guy is the bad guy though, that'd be retarded.

I think it's supposed to be him seeing how much he is missing out on being a hobo. Like funerals, weddings, family, etc. Which exacerbates his feelings about Swan and how he could have been so wrong about him, but wanting him to be innocent.

Swapping trailers wouldn't be difficult but why would they do it in the middle of a highway rather than pulling off where there wouldn't be random people just driving by asking if they need help? That's much easier to swallow than the idea that they sent a flannel shirt good old boy trucker out with 60 million dollars worth of top secret missiles without even a police escort though.
This is how nuclear weapons are transported. From the way they described these missiles they would warrant similar levels of security.

Would the government have a role in security for them? Most definitely, but I'm just here to watch a big guy slowly unravel some mystery, and break the legs and arms of the bad guys while throwing the T-1000 out of a helicopter because he forgot about Sarah Connor already.
