Title: Reacher's on 'roids
Post by: SweetDaddySiki on December 15, 2023, 10:58:52 AM
Can't wait for the new season of Reacher. Dude says he wasn't on anything the first season but is now on test. Good show! Hope this season's not woke or anything.  :(

If they say they're clean, they're on TRT.

If they say they're on TRT, they're on much more and using TRT as cover.

Semen retention, fish oil, melatonin and caffeine.

Heard he pops krill like tic tacs.

Watched the first 3 episodes.  Strange...because I thought the first episode just aired??? Anyway,  watched first season and first 3 episodes of season 2.

Season 2 is written just as well as season 1. He solves shit a little too easily,  there's a new Vag interest.  Plot is OK. Oddly not woke. Pretty good entertainment given the times.

The first season was enjoyable even if it wasn't Shakespeare. This new season is awful. He also has to stand on a box in scenes with other actors. The actor is 6'2" according to Google so that means he's probably 6'1".  In every scene he is a foot taller than all the male actors. His physique also fluctuates between episodes. Hard to maintain a consistent physique over the many months of filming.

I'd convinced myself I was 6ft 2in to downplay my height and Reacher's 6ft 5in so I thought, "I'll have to exaggerate my height for this."

But when I measured myself I was 6ft 3½in - add the boots and I'm pretty much there.

He's in decent shape there too. Jogged my memory that he played Aquaman in Smallville, which this pic is from. Erica Durance was a highlight of that show.

She had more of a bit part in the first season.  I think her role expanded as the season went on. Now she's his sidekick. It's almost like a cop/buddy thing now solving the mystery side by side.

I think the season 1 story was a little better.  The whole "someone is killing off former members of an elite military unit" is an overused cliche.

I remember him saying around this time that he never lifted weights and his physique was purely the product of bodyweight work. I never knew whether to believe that or not. Seems like he has no issues building muscle.

First Episode had a funny line

Robert Patrick(who played T1000 in Terminator 2) says a Sarah Connor-joke.


Langston correctly identifies Castro as the name of a famous Yankees player, confirming the moniker is likely fake, but when asked, "Who's Sarah Connor?" Reacher season 2's main villain responds, "I don't give a sh*t."

Sarah Connor is, of course, the name of Linda Hamilton's character in the Terminator franchise, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day saw her hunted down by the liquid metal T-1000, played by one Robert Patrick.

Not a fan of Ritcher as Reacher, I found his voice boring to listen to, like they've taken Patrick Swayzes voice and kicked the charisma out of him.
Also It's shit when there's no danger for the lead, even in commando Arnold may have been superhero esque but he had a scrap with Cook and was weakened enough after being shot to struggle with Freddie Mercury.

He said he put everything he had into training hard, heavy weights, lots of cardio, etc. says he loves testosterone especially now that he’s over 40. If I recall he said nothing about TRT doses.

I was in a 511 store today and they’re even repping him

Very boring so far apart from some bits in the first episode. Way too many cliches, constant silly wisecracking between Reacher's team, a ton of macho bravado. Apparently a pipe bomb can go off in Queens and the police will take their sweet time to respond. What a waste.

I'm not the only one then.  You can have fights but the lead is sooo boring to listen to, the atmosphere is dull, its all predictable. After just rewatching banshee it's really lame, all the characters, especially Hood got proper fucked up before victory in fight scenes.

Where do all those hitmen come from too? In episode 3 there was a house full of them, Reacher killed two or three more in previous episodes. Do tech CEOs have access to a 1-800 call a goon landline?

That looks really good. Was it on Netflix or Prime or something? I'm going to watch that.

Was on Hulu but you can watch it online on watchseries and similar
