Then his "I'm smarter" moment was a bit of a stretch. The idea that he could have shoved a shell into the barrel of the machine gun in the middle of a fight with the other guy not noticing and then be so confident that it would kill the bad guy and not hurt him that he just stands there and lets the guy shoot at him is kind of ridiculous.

I didn't even understand what he claimed to do. He pulled a bullet from the belt and shoved it in the barrel. You mean, where bullets go? You put a bullet where bullets go? Maybe he meant the front of the barrel? OK fine, that could cause problems. Most likely the bullet would shoot out and hit you but if you shoved it in hard enough it would bulge the barrel. But to make the bullet shoot backwards? Even bugs bunny didn't fuck up the physics that bad.

It didn't make the bullet shoot backwards, it just blew up the barrel/action and that blowback hit Paulie.

If you were able to jam something in the barrel that would remain that way, this would be a predictable result, but sticking a bullet in the front of the barrel would very likely just blow that bullet out the front along with the other bullet.

I might be over this formula. Only 4-5 episodes in and find myself skipping through it. I don't care about the flashback with his 'super smart' co-worker girl at all. I've not been entertained :p

Yeah for such a macho show it leans heavily into the diversity hires.

S3 was much better though outside of an episode or 2. S2 was way over the top with the girl bosses.

on the plus side this is one of amazons most watched TV shows, i assume it handily beats out rings of power, and with the girlboss of amazon TV fired this week hopefully it means they have figured out nobody gives a shit about girl boss shows
Clearly it just means they weren't girl bossing hard enough and need to go harder

Loved the gun drooping. Literal gun runner and only had access to a fake gun and yeah, epoxy sets up in a few minutes with most every type and no way it's going to do that at room temp. Holy fuck, lazy ass writing.

I enjoyed the season. It's really not the type of show to think too hard about. Big guy kicking ass and not giving a fuck. Fine with me.

thought it might be for the next season of Reacher but turns out they are making a spinoff show for Neagley, the black chick

Shes a good character, but not sure how she will carry a show alone. Especially with the up and down writing of Reacher.

She is a good character. None of the books are works of art but they are good boom boom fight fight type books. Neagley as a character was hardly in them and I'm guessing the only reason she's been in these last 2 seasons at all is 'cuz she tested well. BTW that's how Netflix fucked up Altered Carbon via the Crow AI being in it.
WTF I'll watch it.

She doesn't bother me-- her show would need characters with a lot of charisma for me to check it out though. If Reacher is in it regularly, I'll watch.

"Do you like Reacher, a show about a seemingly autistic mongoloid monster that is half Sherlock and half hulk? Do you like its campy 80s action vibe and fighting? Well now you can watch a show about his friend who essentially just uses her connections as a private security contractor to get info."

Reacher has been inconsistent at best, but they cant even let us have that. They cant just make one show that doesnt serve as a vehicle to deliver studios liberal DEI bullshit.

FWIW I got a real kick out of reading the first part of your post in the voice of your avatar. LOL

If she whips out her tiddys a lot I might tune in.
I thought I clicked on the Last of Us thread and I was about to hack out a reply about how that chick doesn't even have tiddys...
