Action-Adventure 'Jack Reacher' series in development for Amazon

[TheVileOne]

they don't fill romantic to me, reacher and duffy. maybe some charged up adrenaline and hormones, caught up in the moment kind of stuff, heck lust even, but i haven't feel like it's going to be much other than that?

I don't feel their romantic chemistry either. I really think they didn't need to hook up this season. With Roscoe it was different. You can tell their was a mutual attraction there and the actors had good chemistry.

Lol, Lee Child had Reacher hooking up with someone almost every book.

Lol, Lee Child had Reacher hooking up with someone almost every book.

Interestingly the movies he doesn't hook up with anyone except that one girl he's with getting dressed and we never see her face.

 

[Still Wynning]

I wonder if Neagley's spinoff will explore her Haphephobia.

I mean, considering every season of this show so far has peppered flashbacks of Reacher’s past throughout each episode in relation to the present day crime/case, I think that’s almost a given for her series.

 

[TheVileOne]

I don't think the books ever gave a firm answer regarding her Haphephobia, so I wonder if Lee Child has advised on that.

It’s because Tom Cruise doesn’t have romantic chemistry with anyone.

What about Renee Zellweger? He had her at hello.

As for Reacher, I didn't care for the Road Trip this week. Sort of seems like a convoluted plot device to have them go to LA to blackmail the drug dealer just to set up a meet between Bailey and Beck. I get you had plot advancement in Reacher and Duffy's relationship but just seems like a lot of overly complicated events for such a minor outcome.

They couldn't have arranged the meeting some other way?

I feel like Reacher does this a lot in having the characters schlep around without much results.

Yeah, I have to agree. That trip to “LA” was a big ball of nothing.

 

[TheVileOne]

Every season you have characters going and making a road trip out of town to do some investigation or other. I think the New York one in S1 sort of made sense because Reacher was trying to get to the finance professor who was advising his brother about the counterfeiting scheme. And the assassin also followed Reacher to the city.

Season 2, the 110th investigators bounced around a lot but most of the action was in and around New York because that's where New Age Technologies was.

It's just silly to me to have a whole segment where the characters remove themselves and all the action is taking place to do some fairly pointless tasks. My understanding is the LA trip was not depicted in the Persuader book. So it really did feel like an artificial way to extend the plot of this season to eight episodes.

That finale!

Spoiler: Reacher Season 2 Finale Spoilers

That Reacher vs Paulie fight, tho. Love the way it kept escalating like a boss battle in Elden Ring. The part when he comes limping towards Reacher like the T-800 after Reacher thinks he killed him had me laughing out loud.

I’m just gonna say it, this is my new favorite season. Well done, cast and crew, you outdid yourselves! 10/10.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Yeah this season was all kinds of awesome and that BIG fight scene delivered on so many levels.

Spoiler

I loved how it just kept going and got more ridiculous and brutal as it went on lol.

 

[Teelie]

Everyone knew that was going to be epic but it did get almost comical near the end.

 

[Babillygunn]

Yeah, that fight scene was like Itchy and Scratchy level.

And I am not sorry to admit that I think Duffy is the most attractive of all of Reacher’s love interests.

 

[Dave McFly]

Duffy is by far my fave of the girls in Reacher to date she's awesomely badass

 

[TheVileOne]

The fight was really good. I liked how Paulie emerged from the woods like Jason Voorhees.

 

[SPO2 Dalisay]

The big guy showdown was meh, its ending a copout. The fight scene of the season was Agent Villanueva versus unnamed guard mook.

 

[TheVileOne]

Roberto Montesinos getting it done for the older husky dudes.

 

[Dave McFly]

The fight was really good. I liked how Paulie emerged from the woods like Jason Voorhees.

I got flashbacks to the blonde dude showing up at the ending of Die Hard myself

As it damn will should be

Also Roscoe still has my heart

 

[ComicChick]

I wonder if Neagley's spinoff will explore her Haphephobia.

when she was running the opposite way against the crowd, she put her hands on people. she had a slight grimace or look of discomfort on her face but i think i expected more revulsion? maybe she was locked -in so she was trying not to focus on it.

i did notice when she was pretending to be a caterer and carrying the tray, she was making an effort to avoid brushes against people and i can't decide if she positioned her hand under the tray to learn to hold it better, to avoid contact, or both. i'll go with both.
i'm glad villanueva made it to the end. i almost lost that bet.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Reacher vs. Paulie was awesome. The end was a little silly; not what happened but it was kinda cringe how Reacher had to explain it to a dead guy just so the audience could understand what he did lol. But it’s fine. That fight definitely did not disappoint.

One thing that WAS really stupid though was the Chekhov’s (toy) gun scene. As soon as the kid bought it earlier in the season, I knew Anthony Michael Hall was going to try and pass it off as a real gun at some point. That’s fine if it’s all you have, but my dude, you had a whole wall of REAL guns could you have grabbed before the bad guy went up to that room. Why take a chance with a fake one? LOL

I guess in all the chaos, Beck was too incompetent to find or use a real gun. It's funny how you call the Roy Rogers thing Chekhov's toy gun because I was calling the machine gun in the security gate "Chekhov's Machine Gun."

Or Beck's guns were all were locked up in the display cases in Beck's study. At this point Beck wasn't even a pawn to help Quinn but guarded as just a dupe about to be taken out.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Yeah but I have to believe he had keys to unlock guns in his own office. Or he could have probably broken the glass if he didn’t.

No matter though; in terms of storytelling, Beck’s redemption pretty much demanded he either die or go to prison for the rest of his life if he didn’t.
