How did you not notice the Microsoft Surface logo in the middle frame of every Scorsese scene? And he said "Microsoft Surface" in every sentence he was on camera

Whew that's convenient even for a TV show It's ok because the villain died in a "slow mo walk away from the explosion" shot. Show is fun.

I'd better run exclusively along the center of this asphalt roadway, and avoid going near any of the many parked cars, trees, kerbs, alleyways, doorways, etc. that I'm running past." You wouldn't want to trespass on someone's lawn, now would you?

roomforthetuna posted:I assume this was part of the selection process the son was doing. In his own sexual games with the girls he would subtly work in the question "so, if you were running from a car, how would you go about it?" Julian wasn't an Ashworth, was he? I know it's pretty faithful to the tone of the source material, but I could do with a little less glorifying of police abuse of power. I was really hoping that Riggs would end up finding some common ground with the annoying tourists. As it is, he was just kind of a dick to them. Along with the reckless driving, mirror kicking, and "commit whatever crimes you want", this episode came off especially "it's okay for cops to break laws because they are the law". But it was still pretty entertaining and, like I said, faithful to the spirit of the source material.

Whew that's convenient even for a TV show I don't think the coincidences were that bad. Henry was deliberately requesting women that didn't want to be there, so maybe he wanted them to try to escape. If they're dressed up in heels then taking those shoes off makes sense so they can run away better and it makes sense for them to flee via the front of the house since that's the route they came in. And it's possible his number of victims exceeds 4, it's just that they included a set of 4 that showed the same pattern. The thing that stood out as most dumb for me was Riggs having anti-gravity magic nuke bullets to send a SUV flying. But that was fun so whatever. Or how the victims kept trying to outrun a car on foot, rather than hiding behind anything. Or how Henry didn't really seem to take the police seriously. "Ah yes I'll murder someone using my son's car, this is the perfect crime that will never ever bring any attention on me. Guess I'm free to murder someone else like 3 days later!" I mean there's a difference between having a strong legal team and expecting your lawyer to be literally a wizard.

This was new last night and pretty good. They dropped the "being a father" subplot remarkably fast, I have to give them props. Also I think Scorsese spoke in a segment not sponsored by a tablet

Was bag store clerk pretty much going to die no matter what? Cuz it seems like Riggs pushing her into a meeting lead directly to her death. I missed a few minutes here and there due to phone calls so I could have missed something important. edit: Also, was that the same actress who plays AJ on Review?

It was an meh episode for me. The editing felt a bit off in the action scenes, especially towards the end (Rigg being tortured, escaping and then the alley scene). And I didn't get what was going on with Murtaugh and his time without his family. It was barely funny, it maybe shows that he is irresponsible parent and can't find friends to hang out with, and it reduced the pretty officer to a baby sitter in one scene for this episode. The DEA lady was kind of a cool addition though. For some reason I find the Cruz guy interesting in this cast. He looks the most out of place, maybe a bit unstable (ie not following commands like that time in the supermarket with the veteran) and also kind of tense(?) all the time? I think I'd like to see them explore more of his backstory.

Just standing there, in the middle of the room, talking to the gang and lurking.

I feel like this show is really trying hard to appeal to an older, conservative male demographic. People who liked and are nostalgic for the films. They had a good chance here to show Murtaugh as an experienced father. This is his third kid and I thought they were off to a good start with him wearing the baby carrier to work. But instead of showing that he's comfortable changing diapers and considers caring for his kid part of his parental responsibility, they have him constantly trying to pass his kid off on a woman so he can drink beer. That's like, the most tired sitcom cliché ever. Edit: and again with portraying abuse of police power and illegal search and seizure as the wacky badass way the heroes get the guy. I know that blowing off procedure is Riggs's thing, but that doesn't mean the writers have to portray the entire police department turning a blind eye and portraying it as an "ends justify the means" thing.

Uh, have you ever seen Lethal Weapon 2? The whole "Diplomatic Immunity" problem at the mansion is because the entire department just says "gently caress it! Procedure be damned!" Lethal Weapon 2 is also the best lethal weapon. It was the only one that really felt like Riggs was just the big brother of the family, with Trish doing his laundry and how all the kids looked at him like he's their crazy uncle with his crazy dog who can shoot you from 600 yards away. Also the condom commercial and toilet bomb and Joe Pesci being awesome as always. This show needs to take more cues from LW2. MrJacobs fucked around with this message at 12:56 on Nov 25, 2016 |

Just saw it all and liked it a lot. But why even bring the baby to the crimescene in the first place? Just get a new babysitter or drop her off at a daycare for the police. I'm pretty sure those exist.

I drive a crown Vic the is pretty much identical to the one they drive in this show. It cracks me up that they keep crashing it over and over but it magically heals every episode. I know they must have a car pool that they get their cars from, but it is always the exact same color and interior. After the last episode I thought they would replace it but it was back again last night.

Okay episode, a little less actiony and more brooding than most of them, but of course because its Christmas. Most egregious "ENHANCE, ENHANCE!" I've seen on TV in a long while which I couldn't help but laugh at. Realized that Riggs wife is Lesbian Cop from Supergirl.

Cataffy posted:Not from the cop's salary, but from all those Ebony Clark novels  this doesn't exist in the show, at least not yet. Instead Trish is an attorney with a nice office, and is the obvious breadwinner ,as opposed to the secret sex novelist reveal joke from the movies. Still, it would be funny to find out that she sells eritca e-books on the side or something. Good episode, and the first one to make Riggs feel like a member of the Mertaugh's, which the show still needs to embrace more wholeheartedly, and it was one of the things that made Lethal Weapon more endearing than most buddy movies, ecspecially when you see Riggs transformation from a legit psychopath with a deathwish and a heart of gold in the first film to a man who transformed himself by moving past his wife's death and is ready to start a family at the end of 4, largely because of how close he is to the Mertaugh's. Also, why were the mertaugh's wearing coats at the end? Doesn't it rarely drop below 55-40 degrees farienheight in LA?

So who was the drug kingpin calling at the end, when he said that Riggs asked about his wife, and the person on the other end of the phone needs to keep him on a short leash? Three suspects: 1. Riggs' father-in-law (Miranda's father), the City Attorney 2. Captain Avery 3. Dr. Cahill, Riggs' psychologist
