It’ll never be not-weird that American rednecks adopted Taliban facial hair after 9/11.

The Jack Ryan with Krasinski and Pierce? I remember it as turgid and dumb, and kinda jingoistic (which I suppose is a “no shit”, but it also didn’t need to be?). I just watched one season.

Which sounds even funnier and more awesome!

They just have so many pockets!

Not only do you have to watch it, you must be in uniform* as you do.

Between Jack Carr, Jack Reacher and Jack Ryan, Amazon Prime is committed to establishing itself as the place to go for a combat Jack.

Yeah, this sounds simultaneously deeply stupid and awesome.

Yes Jack Ryan the show is ridiculous but it’s an enjoyable ride.  Reacher was better than I thought it was going to be based on the terrible trailer.

I don’t have high expectations for this, but also, you write about it with the kind of ridiculous disdain that only makes me want to watch it more.

I wish it weren’t “Worst Chris” Pratt, but as long as it falls somewhere between the very good Reacher and the embarrassingly stupid, but still entertaining Jack Ryan, I’ll be happy.

In real life he’s likely not going to prison for that. It was entrapment. Maybe they get him for breaking and entering? It wasn’t his gun. A good lawyer explains that Barry thought he had just stopped Gene Cousineau from killing Mr. Moss and wanted to warn Moss, but was afraid that Moss might be armed and waiting, so…

Yes, he said Hank’s name, and then Hank embraced him. So he is not brain dead, but he has just gone through who knows how much torture and trauma, and then it stopped suddenly and the love of his life shows up out of nowhere. He was definitely in some form of shock (no pun intended), I would say.

And the Emmy for Outstanding Sound Editing for this episode right alongside it. I was convinced a tiger was going to come crashing right the fuck through that wall, but the sounds of it dying were so much worse.

I’m picturing a scenario where Barry doesn’t want to leave prison; there’s a relative peace there (especially since he can protect himself as necessary) where he will no longer have to make decisions or hide who he is, and if the prison has some sort of theatre rehab program (like in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend or Muppets…

The idea of Barry and Fuches begrudgingly teaming up yet again to escape prison sounds tantalizing. 

This was exactly my thinking. Barry having his day in court could be fascinating, it could really put the screws to Barry’s difficulty with accountability. How much does he want to own up, if a lifeline is thrown his way? 

Barry: “Hey, Sally. I love you.”

How about the cool choice of not having any subtitles for us when Cristobal’s wife was talking to him. They weren’t necessary.

I’m honestly curious what kind of experience some crew member had with Motocross people for the show to portray them all as being so cartoonishly, chaotically evil.

I dunno if Barry’s going to prison.

They can’t really tie him to any of the murders he’s committed, even Janice’s. There’s been no evidence and the rest is hearsay and conflicting testimony.

The most they’re going to get him on is attempted murder. I can see a good attorney making it look like Barry was set up by…
