[@adamdvorak3735]

Except dotting the "i" was completely wrong in this context lol - the word REMINDER was written entirely in uppercase letters, so putting a dot above the "i" actually makes it inconsistent, as opposed to making it more orderly.

[@JeffreyBrandtLaw]

@@adamdvorak3735 Almost entirely. The first "e" is lower case, but the second "e" isn't, so it's not clear. It could be a metaphor: the killer created an unknown - is the "i" upper case or lower? Monk resolved the inconsistency by dotting the "i", but did not answer the unknown from the killer's perspective. Similarly, he found the glasses, resolving the inconsistency of the alibi and of how the murder happened, but he did not fully answer the question of who killed her. In each case, only the killer could provide the proof.

I've never seen this show, this just randomly came in my KZbin recommendations. I dunno why, I have seen a ton of murders in TV shows, but this one got me. It was something about her body language right before he hit her. She seemed so excited and happy, and then BAM. Weird how such a tiny detail could really hit me in the heart...

[@Dreamline78]

This episode from the 2nd season remains one of my absolute favorite. A creative murder, and one that the audience has a chance to solve. An excellent villain (always liked Andrew McCarthy). And last but not least, a bit more of Trudy's backstory and a very touching Trudy moment. But, here's my one nitpick: No science teacher would use the word "theory" the way Philby did. He'd instead call it a hypothesis. To him, a theory is a well-substantiated and repeatably testable explanation about the physical world.

[@Dreamline78]

@CommandoDude I'm a science layman but I know what a theory is in the scientific context. I would think most people with at least some college education would be exposed to the word's proper usage as well. But yeah, I probably do expect a bit too much from Hollywood writers (no sarcasm here).

[@SavageGreywolf]

I've heard scientists use theory in the vernacular way in casual conversation. It would have been better if he said 'hypothesis', true. It's something we all should probably start doing.

[@rickwhite7270]

Most of the time you know who the killer is and how they did it but this one didn't expose that so yeah it was a little different and it let the audience try to figure out how it actually was done.

[@omarjimenez8895]

One of my favorite episodes my only issue is that he fell for the bait. The episode made it clear that this was one of the rare occasions where the culprit was smarter than monk, outwitting him at every turn. So why did he fall for the bait? Monk already made it clear in the episode that he suspected him and always spoke to him openly as the culprit but here Monk's speaking as if it's a secret all of a sudden. And just casually dropping private case information as if he was his friend instead of the suspect. Why would the man trying to prove you wrong knowingly give you information that would benefit you? Clearly this is a trap. So why did he bite the bait? Although I guess I can understand. When you're sole priority is covering up traces than any uncertainty in the slightest will eat you up inside. So if he absolutely had to check then he shouldn't have rushed in and should have seen the trap for what it was and play his next move with caution. He could've bribed a janitor to go retrieve them or throw them away and if he's caught there's nothing out of the ordinary because he is just doing his job. Just my thoughts

[@mduar1000]

Just what I said to

[@diosoth]

This was copied from the Columbo episode "Death Lends A Hand"- the detective tells the killer about missing eyewear, the killer goes to an exact spot to find it, only the detective planted the "evidence" in a specific spot where only the killer would go to look, while the cops waited to catch them with it.

[@Ericwvb2]

Agreed! If this is such an intelligent murderer he would not step into such an obvious trap.

[@PvblivsAelivs]

Well, obviously, he took the bait so that Monk could win. Sometimes show writers have to give someone the Idiot Ball for a moment to get a desired conclusion.

[@mrdrybonestv]

The professor really didn’t have a choice. Either risk looking for the glasses and fall for the trap or let Monk continue to snoop around when there was evidence still laying around.

Well, but in the real-life cops still would have to squeeze a testimony out of him since they had almost no proof if those glasses would even count as one.

[@UchihaKat]

Get your logic out of here~!

[@Fucisko]

That's actually a thing that happens fairly often on this show. Killer creates some super convoluted way to kill someone, Monk then creates super convoluted theory that fits exactly but is supported by like a shred of evidence. Usually the killer then does something stupid like run away or confess or attack but on it's own the evidence is rarerly enough.

[@KupKate215]

I think this evidence would be considered circumstantial, which isn't as damning as physical but can be taken into consideration at trial.

[@chibalearns40]

Had they video taped him looking then the evidence is more daming.

[@colerabson4023]

I mean in this case he was breaking into the crime scene and tampering with evidence so I think they could have gotten him for something. But in most cases you’re right

[@jaydentappin6722]

This is one of the best episodes

[@rommelstar1]

This premise was used in a "Columbo" episode. Letting the killer find what you're looking for.

[@dongilleo9743]

Yes, I've seen this technique used in a number of shows. Detectives trick a subject into going somewhere, looking to move the murder weapon, to hide evidence, etc, that only the killer would know. In one episode, Columbo tricked a suspect into picking out the camera that was connected to the case from a wall full of dozens of cameras.

Monk is stuck on perfection unless there is a pattern, patterns take priority. He would have changed it to "ReMiNdEr!" However the other words are all written in lower case except the first letter of each word which are written in upper case. Due to this he would have just been compelled to rewrite the word as "Reminder!". This means that changing the word to "ReMiNDER!" like he did in the scene would have been completely impossible for him to walk away and leave it like that. He would have to look at it and then erase the whole word and fix it because it wouldn't look correct to him. And if you hit Read More and read all the way down here, here is a continuity error as a treat. At 1:24 after Monk leaves the word "ReMINDER!" is just like it was prior to Monk fixing it because they filmed this part of the scene first for some reason.

I love this series at the moment I see it and I am fascinated by its performance I see it in other films and for me it is Mr. Monk.

[@LegionIscariot]

I would have loved a joke Monk episode where as soon as Monk shows up the killer just straight up confesses and gives up because they already know Monk's reputation.

[@HavokMania]

I love this show

I read this in the voice of Gir from invader Zim. lol

[@robertcorbett9455]

I don't think that is enough to get a conviction. Monk's one piece of evidence is pretty thin.

[@rayturner7855]

lol at the end he still has the glasses in his hand

[@ulicqueldromal]

Yeah, even though just a moment ago we see them taken away. If monk had seen that mistake he would have been angry.

That's right. The fingerprints.

"A theory is just that unless you have some proof". In real life I'd be really worried to hear a science teacher say that. A theory is a theory BECAUSE it has gathered a vast amount of evidence and has been rigorously tested.

I love what he said at the end. Literally screams “I rest my case”: Quod Era Demonstratum Which is “What was to be shown”.

[@missmandy67]

Monk was a great who dunit. Loved it and still watch reruns.

This episode was great

quod erad demontraN(!!!)dum . killed the perfect character with that line :(

[@ohlookitisacat7404]

It is hard to be that precise unless you hire someone with a personality like Monk. Well... Let's just say that no one in the film crew gonna like it.

[@lEGOBOT2565]

Actually: "sic probatur" is "Thus it is proved" in Latin. "Quod Erat Demonstratum" (no second n) is Latin for "It was demonstrated", which is another way of saying "Thus it is proved". Now, you are correct in that, when you take "It was demonstrated" and translate it into Latin, you get; "Quod erat demonstrandum", but when you translate that back, you get "It can be shown", and when you translate that again, you get "Ostensum est quod esse potest", and back to English you get "It has been shown that it can be", then to Latin; "Iam ostensum est quod esse non potest", English; "Have shown that there can be no", which where the trail ends In summary: Shut the fuck up

Okay. So, why did Adrien dot an "I" in a word which was obviously all capitals????

[@connorpitts9264]

The second e was lowercase too

[@dash4800]

@@connorpitts9264 not to mention he picked up chalk.

[@BritishTeaFGC]

There's a saying that goes 'dot the i' s and cross the t's' it pretty much means to pay attention to details so I think he was subtly hinting that the guy forgot that the woman wears glasses when he killed her so he left evidence at the scene of the crime which is what got him caught. That's how I interpret it anyway

[@MrNobodyX3]

It was a power move

@@BritishTeaFGC Adrien is OCD not subliminal. Sorry, can't agree with you on that one.
