    Twenty minutes into season 2 of Reacher. Why drop him from a chopper instead of bury him in fucking nowhere?

    Ummm... yeah, with that kind of attitude, maybe this show ain't for you. That's the least of the dumb.

    It's Jack fucking Reacher. If you haven't read the books, here's what to expect:

    • inexplicable decisions
    • contradictory logic in decision-making from one chapter to the next

    (Apply above to both antagonist and protagonist, feed it into a Gen-1 AI machine - you've got yourself a Jack Reacher novel/script writing engine)

    @Kruse The team of writers the show employs could make a few modifications for the better?

    Yeah - okay, so I'm up to episode 4, and more-and-more seeing why people are annoyed at the ridiculosity.
    But... I still hold that it is staying extremely true to the source material... particularly in style - and I think that remains part of the charm.

    Imagine if they just loosely based it on the books, and people were whinging "But Reacher is supposed to be an imposing semi-autistic giant, not a charming midget!"
    <insert gif of Tom Cruise with shit-eating grin>

    They could keep the source material and just tighten up the script. Imagine Alan Ritchson in the first Reacher movie - that's what the series should be aspiring to.

    Having said that, it still has its redeeming features. Eg: From eight minutes in episode six...

    That’s either extreme violence or Dixon’s tits. I shall re-watch either way.

    My time to shine. On a lark I bought Reacher’s big bro’s setworn suit and all the costume departments’ lingerie seconds from S1 off auction.

    Missus’ flabber was well and truly ghasted as Smuts waltzed downstairs and hulked the suit (amazing what those film boffins can do with the magic of perspective.) Surprisingly, my growls that Big Joe always has little Jack Reacher’s number were met with first mystification, then mirth.

    The lingerie remains untouched. Probably should’ve got her to watch the show first.

    Look I enjoyed the series for what it was but waiting a week for that finale to drop fits your summary unfortunately

    keeping in the theme of the show probably needed two extra scenes. One where Reacher uses that knife to remove Patrick’s eyeball, while delivering the one liner “an eye for an eye”. Compulsory second scene of Dixon (topless) riding Reacher before him saying, “sorry I’ve got to go, I’m going to miss my bus”

    Reacher season two suffers from nothing other than poor writing. It doesn't take a literary genius to get Dixon in skimpy clothing more often.

    In case you're wondering if the new (season four) True Detective is worth watching; based on episode one I say definitely.

    So couple of so episodes into Reacher 2 and have a question.

    There seems to have been several references to Dixon's tits and no mention of Neagley's, which appear much more impressive. Why?

    She doesn’t like to be touched and will break your cock off. Therefore redundant.
