AnimeMania December 2 Share December 2 Colter is tasked with tracking down a “ghost” when hired to find a man who seemingly died in a car accident months earlier. Meanwhile, Colter catches a break in his white whale case.

ahrtee December 2 Share December 2 (edited) Colter certainly has faith in the criminal justice system (and its speed). Not only is he guaranteeing that the rich politician will go to jail, but it will happen soon enough that the kid can come out of witness protection immediately. *sigh* I did like the woman who disappeared people. It's a good thing Colter is honest; I can see them running a scam where she disappears them and then Colter finds them, and they both get paid.

Dowel Jones December 2 Share December 2 2 hours ago, possibilities said: No scenery this time, Oh, but that opening shot of "San Francisco" was something to be believed. I'd kind of like to know which suspension bridge hangs over a 4 lane metropolitan expressway in town. I'm also curious as to why a police lieutenant would meet a developer in a bar to talk about new housing, and how both of them missed all the FBI windbreakers on scene. They're lucky this wasn't taking place in Chicago. Severide would have been all over that arson fire and the back room. That escape ring would be shut down pronto. I think we can assume that Ms. Lee opened the body bad just a bit after Lucas was put inside the coroner van because, as far as I know, body bags don't have inside zippers. Alright, so the retired deputy talked himself into a recurring role. Let's hope he's not a dead man walking now that we have a big bad in the shadows. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150912-s02e08-the-night-movers/#findComment-8522528

AnimeMania December 2 Author Share December 2 The premise was a little "silly" how could an average person afford to fake their own death destroying 3 vehicles and a "small" gasoline tanker truck full of gas. I think I would have opted for the "budget" death option. It seemed like the the peanut butter cup wrapper (before everybody started touching it) and the tape that was removed from the ceiling would have been the perfect surfaces to collect fingerprints from if they would have tried it. Shouldn't the brother have taken the evidence with him before he went into hiding, it is not like he didn't have time to get his affairs in order? I am pretty sure I am going to hate everything about this "teacher" storyline. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150912-s02e08-the-night-movers/#findComment-8522846
MissLucas December 2 Share December 2 I like the backdoor pilot for The Night Movers! Yeah, I prefer more rustic scenery but this had an interesting twist. Although I'm not sure why Lucas did not contact the FBI in the first place instead of running to a Youtuber - kids these day! So, we got the Big Bad Wolf err.. Whale. He does sound a bit like Daddy dearest, so Colter might be able to exorcise some demons in bringing him down.

I think I would have opted for the "budget" death option. Well, the sister had a spare $25,000 to pay Colter, so they're obviously not hurting for cash. Also, it's (moderately) easy to fake a death; getting a new identity I would think is much harder. Fake SS #? Try getting a job, a credit card, a car loan or even a bank account without one. (Maybe the family has enough money not to need any of the above!) And wouldn't someone named "Isaac Newton" raise a few eyebrows when he checked into a motel? Maybe they should choose a name not only non-google-able but also not so obviously fake.

AnimeMania December 3 Author Share December 3 You don't need to burn down the entire building just because you have incriminating evidence in one room, I am sure you can build a secret room that burns without destroying everything else. You could have burned down the entire neighborhood, Mrs. O'Leary. Think about your neighbors and customers you have known for years.

And "The Teacher" makes me think of Sir in Found. Where there's also a long-time missing person who is close to a character in the show (in that case, Margaret's son--this is not any sort of spoiler, incidentally). I enjoy that show more than this one overall. And I think it works better because the team is generally working together, rather than lone wolf Colter going out there to investigate. Back to this Tracker ep: Add me to those who didn't like the ex-cop torturing the guy to get information. I was hoping he'd have found it in some other way, like maybe he contacted an old cop buddy who remembered a similar case in a neighboring area. Or connected with someone still on the force to get info. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150912-s02e08-the-night-movers/#findComment-8523620
ahrtee December 3 Share December 3 Maybe they're intending to explore Colter's dark side, as in, "how far will the good guy/knight go to get closure on this case"? The ex-cop seems to have embraced his dark side (I can't imagine he did much torturing while working, or hopefully would have been retired sooner. In TV, shooting a badguy is OK, torture is not! 😀) So is he there to tempt Colter? Of course, we know the answer, but maybe Justin wants to show some range (or at least, a few new expressions). 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150912-s02e08-the-night-movers/#findComment-8523655

Johnny Dollar December 6 Share December 6 I know that shows like this play fast and loose with technology, but Bobby’s ability to look up any reservation in any fleabag hotel in the country in less than five seconds was next level. Colter has been looking for Gina for over ten years, marking the anniversary by beating up Whales followed by boning the sister, and has nothing to show for his efforts. But the retired cop finds a person of interest without breaking a sweat or knowing anything about a ten year old cold case. And I liked the way he called Colter in SF and told him to meet up with him someplace that’s hundreds of miles away and was eagerly waiting to greet him in his torture lair. Did her periodically beat up the bad guy to keep him fresh or did he go home for a spell? 5 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150912-s02e08-the-night-movers/#findComment-8525734

Hey, Colter DID give him the side eye. I was very disappointed to see the ex-cop torturing someone, and really brutally. (I suppose all torture is brutal, but this looked really bad.)

They needed to have a fire so the body wouldn't be easily identified, and I suppose it had to look like an accident so there wouldn't be an investigation. I can't think of anything else. I know Colter asked Barbie if she had someone inside the coroner's office (or somewhere), and she didn't disavow it, but where did they get the body? Maybe just the morgue. I hope. Quote It seemed like the the peanut butter cup wrapper (before everybody started touching it) and the tape that was removed from the ceiling would have been the perfect surfaces to collect fingerprints from if they would have tried it. I didn't think about that because I was focused on what a nice peanut butter cup that looked like. If I were Colter I would have had a hard time not unwrapping and eating it. It looked better than a Reese's (which are pretty darn good). On 12/3/2024 at 9:25 AM, MarylandGirl said: And "The Teacher" makes me think of Sir in Found. I thought of Sir, too.
