My wife thinks the dude in Reacher is hot so she watches it.  I've never seen it so can't really comment.

But I can guarantee you though, that he's no John Stamos.

He is very large, I wouldn't say he's that handsome, but I'm not expert.  I may watch another episode if I can't find anything worthy, which is likely.  My wife and I watch Perry Mason reruns, they are not half bad.  She's also into Matlock, which really is pretty bad.

I find it funny that the book character was supposed to be an imposing goliath, and the first actor to play Jack Reacher was... Tom Cruise. Practically a hobbit. 

But I wouldn't call this dude "very large"... He's only 6'2". That's barely at the range where I'll describe someone as "yeah, I guess he's tall"...

He looks large on the screen.  They are using midget actors around him.

It's a really dumb show, but mildly entertaining.

So similar to watching Georgia win the NC for me.

I watched the first three seasons of Yellowstone on Peacock. But the fourth season isn't on Peacock. I thought I had to sign up with Paramount Plus to watch it. So I did. But no, it's not on Paramount Plus, it's on Paramount Network. Which I already had (unknown to me) through Hulu. But now I have Paramount Plus for a month. Anything good on there?

I finally watched the last episode last night.  It's a not well written action kind of series, which is all too common these days, but they could have used better writers in many spots in my view.  Near the end, the bad guys send the hero out to find a fellow on the run with a bad FBI agent to guard him.  So, the hero looks at a map for a few seconds and discerns that the fellow on the run is in Augusta (it takes place in GA but apparently was filmed in Canada, which is a bit odd), near a bus station, at one of several cheap hotels that prices by the hour, and figures out the guy's name he used to check in and knocks on his motel door, after throwing coffee on said FBI agent to get away.

Or something like that.  Why the bad guys would let someone as dangerous and clever as our hero leave is,well, odd.

The cure for that is not watching of course, but mildly entertaining is a plus.

I'm still impressed with how competitive football games hinge on a single play or 2-3 plays that easily could go the other way.

I watched Reacher, and liked it a lot more than the Tom Cruise movie.

The character claims he is 6’5” because details are important.

I think I watched a few minutes of the Cruise movie and flipped to something else.  The other somewhat similar one with Kenau Reaves however spelled is a bit better.

In general, action movies lose my interest unless they have a great script and plot and repartee, but that is rare.  They usually blow a lot of stuff up and have the Hero mash a lot of heads while dodging automatic weapons fire like a Starwars trooper was shooting.

I was also "amused" that some dude took a crow bar to our hero multiple times, really beat the crap out of him, and a minute later he was bouncing around as if nothing happened.

And some movies are really good for episode one and they make a trash sequel.

I was wondering about this Reacher thing so I did a search. And this comes up:



So I bought it.

If you're into Star Trek, then Star Trek: Picard is on Paramount+.  I watched season1 on a free trial last year and season2 is supposed to come out in March.

I thought it was great but I'm a pretty big Star Trek nerd so there you have it.  If you're unfamiliar with Captain Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation then it wouldn't make much sense.
