After many viewings of this episode I still notice something new. I never before caught the double meaning of "this must be quite a SHOCK to you, sir." Legendary. Also, I never really gave much thought to asking to make an ice cream soda. I realize Columbo was fishing for a reaction. At first I thought Columbo playing that he had a slow mind and was easily side tracked. He is frequently unconventional to the extent of having no awareness or care about how others might view his actions or appearance. I chalked it up to Columbo being Columbo. But he was sussing out his man. He already knew Alex killed the man. His suspicions were confirmed when he admitted to knowing the victim. When Columbo is dealing with loved ones, he is usually very mindful. But he knew he was guilty. So he made a weird unrelated request to see what he'd do. An innocent man may get worked up and respond "how can you think of soda at a time like this! I just found out a childhood friend of mine was here, maybe to see me, and someone killed him! His killer may still be out there!" But since he's guilty he obliges our lieutenant with his outrageous request because a bomb just got dropped on him and he thinks being agreeable is the way to stay on the detective's good side and keep suspicion off him. Unaware that his non-reaction was carefully and duly noted by Columbo's good eye. Apologies for the length; I just get really excited about this show :)

[@FourOf92000]

honestly that's a detective trope I'm not too fond of: people get weird, paradoxical reactions in the face of overwhelming grief, so IRL it'd make just as much sense as an opportunity to get the bad news off his mind for a second, or as literal nonsense b/c logic tends to stop working in these circumstances but I'll give Columbo a pass, he's Columbo

[@amyshhhh]

That’s a great deduction that I hadn’t thought of! I was confused about why he was asking for an ice cream soda

This one was my introduction to Lt. Columbo. It came from my mom, who loved the classic series. I was a kid at the time, so I didn't understand what was going on. I wanted to scream at the lieutenant, tell him "this guy is obviously a murderer!" But I get it now. And I'm the better for it. Thanks, Mom.

All he had to do was tell the name of the victim, but the mind games he played with suspects by dragging it out was what made him such a unique character.

[@ProudPapaJD]

Mind games? Oh no sir. The real reason for my stop, if you don’t mind me asking, was to see if I could make an ice cream soda…. Oh, and just one more thing…

[@EustachyTV]

Columbo messing with the murderer will never stop being funny :D

[@jamesfeldman4234]

Columbo has a remarkable way of getting the attention of his suspects with the most mundane objects and observations. Yet, I've never heard a suspect tell Columbo, "You know whenever you come by, I expect to hear some fascinating observation you've made, but, every time, it turns out to be something boring."

[@presentprogressive8780]

Columbo always had terrific actors for their murderers with subtle cues every time the noose got tighter around their necks. I especially like how Fisher Stevens closed his eyes at 3:44 when his character realizes he cannot pretend that he doesn't know the victim any longer once Columbo shows him the drivers licence.

[@winnhill3736]

I thought that was Fisher Stevens.Thanks.😊

[@peachypie8018]

I can watch Columbo over and over again, brilliant acting, full of humour and what a refresing change that it's not bursting with violence . An absolute classic .

One of my favorite Detective Columbo moments when he just over does it with the stage performances at the end using everyone the filmmaking murderer knows to have a gotcha moment 😂

One of the few times Columbo was actively condescending to the murderer the entire case. This guy had no redeeming qualities.

The guy playing the murderer here Fisher Stevens. Before I saw him in this Columbo episode, I remember him from the comedy science fiction movie "Short Circuit" and its sequel about the experimental military robot who gets struck by lightening and becomes consciously aware.

Fisher Stevens also dated Michelle Pfeiffer for a few years, but cheated on her. He cheated on Michelle Pfeiffer FFS!

Columbo is a great show . Different from today's violence driven cop shows. The violence is usually only alluded to and I can only remember one episode where Columbo even takes out his gun. Took me a while to place the other actor in the scene but he had a bit role as the psychologist boyfriend of Monica's on Friends.

[@vitorafmonteiro]

And in the espisode with José Ferrer as the killer there was a wizkid scientist whose name was similar to Steven Spielberg (what was it, Steve Spedleburg or something?). Seeing the change from the complimentary portrayal of that to Spielberg as killer I wonder if there was any backstage fall-out between super-star director Spielberg and Levinson-Link. Or it might have been just an all fun jab, still the contrast is funny.

I liked and still watch Columbo but his persona changed to resemble William Shatner. I got to the point where he was like an actor pretending to be a bad actor. It became almost unbearable to watch. Shatner was terrible but I watched Star Trek so I suffered through every Columbo episode.
