Most unbelievable part


So you’re telling me that after decimating 4 buff neo nazis in prison, he almost gets killed by an Irish midget with a crowbar?

reply

It was the midget from HalfLife.

But yeah, i was like "wtf is going on" ....

It has to be remembered that the wet squad were professional assassins. That's why Reacher had to take them out one by one. The last guy caught him off guard. It doesn't matter how big you are. Someone who know how can take you out, no matter his size (or your size).
The guys in the prison may have been buff and tough, but Reacher knew how to handle them.

reply

He explained all about that just a few minutes later.

reply

What did he say? “A guy half my size almost killed me for plot convenience”

reply

No. He explained why this guy was so tough to beat. Not paying attention?

reply

The most unbelievable part for me was that he keeps going into thrift stores and finding clothes that fit him.

Also Rossko is going to explode if she has his baby

reply

You could literally see the moment she started ovulating the minute she laid eyes on him.

For me it was that we stacked up about 50 bodies in this small town, many of them killed in outlandishly gruesome serial killer fashion, and it didn't garner any national interest at all.

reply

Yeah. I figured he would want to be somewhat stealthy but he is just beating people up in public than racking up a huge death toll. In the age of camera phones and the internet his antics would have gone viral. I kept wondering how is he going to go to the next town to do it all over again (presumably that will be the premise for each season) when he has been a bull in a China shop the whole time.

reply

Exactly. This kind of storyline felt a lot more plausible back in the 80s. Even in the 90s when the book was written. You have to exercise a bit of disbelief now to buy into it.

reply

It reminded me of another show called "Banshee" where a guy (an ex con no less) assumes the identity of a new Sherriff in town. It would have worked great prior internet and computers but is a stretch in our era.

You can just see Reacher arriving in the next town "Hey, look there's that huge guy who just beats people up!"

Ozzy Man Reviews! "Look at this gigantic bloke right here. Just sitting down for a slice a pie. Here comes a local, probably wants to welcome him to town. Oh my god he's torn his head off. He's torn his head clean off and shit down his neck. That's not going to make him any friends."

reply

lol and why not just take that dog from the guy in the first place? Guy is obviously a joke and unimpressed by muscles on Reacher. Why keep letting the dog suffer, why show restraint in that case but others just take knee jerk meat head action?

reply

Kind of like the Christmas parade massacre last year.

The media suppresses whatever their ruling class overlords tell them to.

reply

Getting beaten with a crowbar but not showing any bruises later. No way. The book was more believable, he took them out one by one without getting beaten
