I will watch the whole season for Serinda Swan alone. All the hilarious violence is just a nice bonus.

She was never on my radar before this. I did a quick search and found out she played Elizabeth Taylor in Devotion. Of course she did.

She was in a short lived series called Graceland that put her on my radar.
So hot. 

The writing is so f'n good. Sipowicz. I damn near spit my drink out.


I liked the first episode - but the campfire scene was corny as hell. Sitting around singing Elton John? Just strange and out of place.

Kinda like the skinny kid kicking his ass in season 1.

Kinda dumb, but a smart kind of dumb. And highly entertaining. Just like season 1. First three met my expectations and I'll be in for the ride.

Reacher seems worse as an actor, particularly when he squints his eyes and starts playing Roided Sherlock Holmes. .  

But like the supporting cast.  

Reacher squints. "Dogs only shit when the sun is up and most of the country is right-handed and most people hate Chihuahuas. This is the work of a left-handed Mexican that works a graveyard shift."

Yep. it's just a fun show to watch not some art film. The books aren't really much more than that either.

This. 

I'm enjoying the hell out of S2 but several things are bugging the shit out of me:

 

Spoiler

1.  When they toss the pipe bomb into the house and then take out all of the crew....   How exactly are they supposed to get away with that?  Sure, the guys they killed wanted to kill them but didn't they commit all sorts of crimes in doing so?  At least with the Atlantic City kills they covered their tracks with the concrete.

2.  Why take the bad guy when he's on the way to board the plane from DEN to NYC instead of grabbing him as he comes off the flight?

Yep. I miss the blonde, but Ms. Swan will fill in nicely.

Silly fun. During certain shots, Swan looks a bit like Sela Ward. 

"you do not mess with the special investigators" seems like a phrase you'd put in to help create a drinking game.

this is a nice show to watch in between slow horses/line of duty and going to sleep.  and i mean that as a a compliment.  sort of.

I see her more as a grown-up Lindsay Lohan if Lindsay had stayed away from the drugs and booze and plastic surgery.

Definitely a strong Sela Ward resemblance.  And that's a very good thing.

One thing @Brisketexan and I can agree on.

One day at lunch somewhere in the mid to late 70s, I had the pleasure of standing in a wonderfully slow moving line behind (operative word) Sela Ward at Taco Casa, Tuscalosa's then favoite Tex-Mex restaurant.  This was during her Apex cheerleader days at Alabama.  Mmmmmm-MMH!  She was one lovely, long-stemmed blossoming rose and not a bad actress

A helluva dress.

I think she looks like Jodi Lynn O'Keefe

*TRT.  And he’s been very open about it, just like alotta men getting action movie roles, nttawwt.  Difference here is he isn’t denying it.

Just TRT huh? 

Episode 11 Mike GIF by Jersey Shore Family Vacation

TRT in his case is supplemental testosterone at like 3x what a regular person takes.  That, plus dialed in nutrition and a dedicated gym regimen and there you are.

Oh shit, you're serious. I also have 24 inch pythons brotha, and it's all the result of dialed in nutrition

Why did his entire family call him Reacher

Because he in fact, did have the common courtesy to give them a reach-around.

The thing that bugged me about that was that there was like… reverb on his vocals? It used to be I would smoke a little bit of pot and then couldn’t watch TV because I would hear all the places where they punched in the audio. This was like that but I haven’t smoked pot in 10 years. Just bad sound, and there are surprisingly a lot of little bad detail stuff like that in this show. But it doesn’t really matter because it’s a silly show. I like it when he beats the shit out of people who deserve having the shit beaten out of them.

Sheeeeeit, last person I heard call it pot was my grandma. You could very well be the last person on earth who calls it pot

Per the book, his brother was called by his first name, but Jack was always just "Reacher"

I just watched the four episodes today for season 2.  Seranda Swan is just great googally moooly good lookin.

She is damn close to being my absolute perfect woman. 

I know that "Henchmen have no aim" is a trope in every action movie/show, but wow, last night's episode really took the cake for worst shooting by the bad guys ever. 

Those Ford doors are very bullet proof.

It’s like why do the bad guys even have guns

A-Team ammo

Plus in the books Reacher is a crack shot.  

I enjoy the show.  It appears Amazon thinks highly of it. Why cant they hire somebody to make sure the shootouts don't look so terrible.  

He’s taking cover between a few buses from a guy with a machine gun firing from a helicopter and then proceeds to just walk out into the open while firing up with his pistol. Amazingly stupid. 
 

I did enjoy the joke about the plastic bottle silencer though. 

Reacher and John Wick exist in super hero universes.  

The muscle head playing Reacher is 100x the actor Keanu Fucking Reeves is. Completely mind bottling to me that he has a career at all.

I get that Reeves is famously wooden, but this is the dumbest thing that I've read on Surly in at least 30, maybe 35 minutes.

Go watch Parenthood.  Keanu kills it.
