I think it’s a lame attempt to show that they’re a “big tent” party. It why they always trot out Tim Scott, but he ultimately does nothing.

I just assumed everybody uses AdBlocker...

Yeah, you’re misremembering...

“We got anything like Uggs but make your feet smell MORE like swamp water after three months of wearing?”

I guess we’re still on this...

Same. And the way it ended, so peaceful, the very last loving shot... doesn’t NOT having that at the end spoil* the gruesomeness of the scenes just before it?

Lagging??? I thought this was the best of the bunch so far. A proper backstory with some stakes that are actually serious. You learn more about the actual characters than in other episodes and some decent humor. Of all the episodes, it’s the only one that could have been stretched out further and still been great…

A couple of years ago we watched the entire series beginning to end - even when we went overseas for a few months - and I kind of think there are Several Columbos. The very first episode is a more straightforward Columbo, a cop working a case, not really any of the“goofyness” and faux-bumbling of the later Columbo. He…
