So what the heck?!
Reacher only killed ELEVEN people by the end of season one…

Then they are giving Joel Kinnaman some poor aul’ age makeup.
I thought Ed was supposed to be closer to 80 or even aulder. Maybe it’s his crotchety attitude…

Would it have hurt so bad to make it 10 episodes and add the right amount of expositionary material to flesh out the character, and make him less one-note?
There were about two episodes that just seemed to just start halfway through the episode and I audibly exclaimed, “How the f*** did we get here?!!”, prime example being the Mexican standoff with Reacher and Findlay held by the baddies.
They could have used the extra time to show how they got caught.
WTF???

For me the hubris and arrogance of Ed has outstayed it's welcome, but as a character I still find him compelling. It's about time someone hit him in the face with some truth.
Danielle may not have been perfect, she always tried to do the best for the greater whole and may have preferred to stick to the rules, but dealing with Ed she had the patience of a saint.
It took near THIRTY YEARS(!), but F*** YOU ED!!!
lol!

Yes, given (Ed’s) age and all those years in lower Mars gravity returning to Earth would be difficult
I believe his age was given in previous seasons, but how the FRAK aul’ is Ed this season?!
He looks like he’s barely able this season, and apparently he might be. Still the same fly by the seat of his pants jackazz who feels the rules don’t apply to him…

I’m ready for Niall to remind everyone that it’s his last season. I’d like that to happen this season.
His astonished face like he’s never heard music before, his brogue, his ugly clothes, bye Niall…

And Mansell the dumb ass was making a scene at the restaurant, with the Albanians and the cops after him, he keeps making waves.
And now they think they can go around blackmailing people in the black book and just collect the cash.
Tell me Elmore Leonard didn't concoct such a dumb villain.
Re: Elmore Leonard. I'm reasonably sure he didn't, this series may be based on "A Story by Elmore Leonard."
Re: Mansell. I'm getting tired of him as I am the actor Boyd Holbrook Boyd Holbrooking.
I believe this episode is either more Raylan-centric or Raylan is starting to find his groove in Detroit. The Willa thing kinda made me sad even with her surly teenager-ness. Obviously, Raylan still isn't able to do anything else except wait for the call and then go immediately when the call comes to the expense of everything and everyone else...

I was certain she was thinking of her own dad doing those scenes, especially with Aykroyd right in front of her.
And her (Dan Aykroyd) father came to advise her as a ghost…

We still don’t know why Amanda would go through all this to marry him (Sarek).
It seemed the logical thing to do! Wocka wocka! <Badum tsssh!>
Now, I enjoy Vulcan hijinks as the next humanoid (edit: From the neck up), but holy Sarek with a hot comb! Having Amanda Grayson show up kept me running through my head trying to figure who was onboard Enterprise during SNW and TOS and could have hipped Kirk and McCoy that Spock’s mum was human or why that wouldn’t have been a matter of record.
The aliens of the week were somewhat amusing with their insistence on the bureaucracy of customer contact and insistence that the user (Enterprise crew) was attempting to operate outside of the proper time frame.
T’pril, gatta love her, amirite?!!

I will admit to having no idea who the killer is at this point. I think Margaret is a red herring - I think she's hiding something, but the ominous music played around her just seems too obvious to tag her as the killer
Of course, Margaret Carruthers being played by Pamela Rabe, “Joan ‘The Freak’ Ferguson”, warden of the Wentworth prison on the teevee show “Wentworth” and a major teevee baddie, naturally you would have to suspect her.
And jeez Louise the town is straight wacko…

That part makes sense, but I still didn't like the episode. It was just so boring. ;)
Because they didn’t play this during the reveal of the un-dead yeoman…

really didn't like Spock approving of Pike's "logic" that removing the asteroid would be a Prime Directive neutral solution. It would actually worsen the cultural contamination that already exists because now the entire planet will be able to remember the reign of Lord Zacharias, the phaser weapons, the intervention of other Starfleet people, all of it.
My thinking is similar to the situation at the end of “A Piece of the Action” when Dr. McCoy is perturbed that he left some Star Fleet property behind, and the thinking is that the residents of Gangster planet will reverse engineer it and hence, rapidly advance their technology.
I’m going to cop to not paying attention to the beginning of the episode, and my research on the Memory Alpha website gave me the full context and details about “Who the f*** is Zac?!!”

Despite the absurdities that piled upon one another, I did like this episode well enough in that it reminded me of TOS which is why I liked last season so much.
When Pike et al are captured and brought to the castle and Pike said Zac! I would have been totally blown away had they zoomed in on Zac! with a Dutch angle camera shot and one of the TOS music themes that would be used when things went sideways, right before cut to commercial. (Sadly, I could not find a link on the YouTubes to one of these).
In any case, I was “Who the f*** is Zac!??”

The skrulls can shapeshift and already hold powerful positions around the world so why do they need more to be more super?
I believe first, they anticipate that /eventually/ Earth’s super powered defenders and Avengers will enter the fray and then they will need to impersonate them at some point or another. It seems at present the Skrulls can only take on the visage and the memories of an individual, but if the individual has super powers, they can’t currently imitate them till the Super-Skrull alterations occur…

Count me in as well in the group that watched a painted green guy with painted green slip on sandals fighting the bad dudes.
And they were never equally super-powered bad dudes or hordes of aliens. Just plain aul’ bad dudes and random jerks.
And we liked it!
(Though now I’m thinking The Incredible Hulk vs Bionic Sasquatch from the “Six Million Dollar Man” was a missed opportunity…

K.E.V.I.N. said they were too expensive and our fathers were happy with Lou Ferrigno painted green.
I told a young fella after one of the “Avengers” movies exactly how The Hulk was simply a man painted green when I was about his age.
He looked at me like I was insane…

Kind of a slow start, but I do like how they are incorporating the spy thriller aspects her and trying to put their own spin to it, MCU style.
I enjoyed the intro with Ross and “Prescod”. The actor playing Prescod was suitably unhinged/seemingly unreliable with regard to his explanation of the Skrull plot.
As a personal aside, the portrayal had me expecting Prescod to mention that the Skrulls were after our precious bodily fluids…

I wasn’t surprised by the mother’s behavior at all. I’m from an ADOS family and my turn of the millennium adolescence (I was born in 1985) had about as many restrictions as Kamala.
So you’re a teenager during the mid/late ‘90s (Your parents may have been in my age range, a little older probably), and perhaps my being from outside of your community is making it difficult for me to reconcile the current day restraints on a Kamala Khan of 2022/23.
Going off the year of her comics introduction in 2013, maybe she’s born in ‘97ish (I’m not clear on her age).
All of that aside, Kamala would have been better off negotiating to have her brother take her to the convention, and been more forthright with her mother about her situations she’d might have been better off…

I must thank the gods that I never had to wear a foundation garment like the one Midge was wearing under her robe... I think it’s something the show did for effect…
The foundation garment IS Mrs Maisel.
I recently saw a short interview with Rachel Brosnahan and she said the foundation garment not only gives her the Mrs Maisel shape, it’s also just confining enough to restrict her breathing, contributing to a Mrs Maisel voice…

(news flash....Don Draper did not "teach the world to sing"), we knew there was no happy ending for him or for him and Midge.
That is true there was no happy ending for Midge and Lenny, but it was no less heartbreaking to see Midge gutted by the realization and Luke Kirby gutted me when he told Susie, “Save your favours…”

I thought NOIVAS did his NOIVAS thing on his first song, but he got overwhelmed on the 2nd song. Partially by Bandzilla, but partially because his voice just failed him when he went for a few spectacular moments throughout that song (Chris Stapleton's Cold).
NOIVAS may have gotten a little overwhelmed, but on second watch, he sounded better (To me), but I’ve been pushing for him from the start, and when the guitar player went “wheedly, wheedly, wee!” it was a winner in my book.
Blake said it best, <Probable misquote> “It took an hour, but the finale finally got started…”

I think Hedy is a very intriguing character, and I'm glad they didn't introduce her any earlier in the Gordon Show narrative. Her story with "Susan" better be a jaw-dropper and not just a lesbian relationship gone sour.
About two or three episodes before we see Hedy on screen or that she’s mentioned as Gordon’s wife, Suzie is being escorted out of the studio building and someone shouted “Hedy!”. I thought someone was calling for the actress Hedy Lamar, but it seems they may have been calling Gordon’s wife as a sort of back door introduction…

S02.E08: Fly Boy
in Reacher
With the soliloquy he gave about him only being the middle man and that if he hadn’t done what he did, someone else would have meant his remaining screen time was to be measured in seconds.
The team was going to kill him in any case…
