REACHER (1x04) "In a Tree" | First Time Watching | TV Reaction

[@swordmonkey6635]

Those dead assassins in the trunk were trained South American Special Forces and were more than likely trained to withstand interrogation tactics. Reacher already knew they were highly skilled fighters and figured it wouldn't be worth the time and effort to MAYBE get the truth from them instead of disinformation. And I think she asked Reacher about Baghdad because she wanted to know if he was a killer who enjoyed it, or a killer who did it when he had to. A moral question rather than a legal concern. She saw the pretzel bodies in the trunk and wondered if Reacher did that because he needed to or just to be twisted. She found out he was a good, but brutal man and she was cool with that.

[@pcrathke]

I thought of it as 2 people in one life or death situation after another trying to feel something good when they could.

[@tomhoffman4330]

Amen to that!😇

[@fritzkaraldo8452]

I laughed when Reacher talked about the Ketchup metal cleaner, because I indeed use Ketchup to get the patina of some brass items I have and it works like a charm.

[@WizKid1258]

Love the TV version of Reacher, can't wait for Season 2

[@grafffuller3265]

We loved it when you were shocked at the shower scene. You were out of sorts, but then my wife said to me...but she wanted them to go at it at the hotel after the bar? They definitly have chemistry together...and Reacher IS a very closed off individual, but yeah...balsy move on her part (after you told us your fail moment possibility). Loved Reacher's response, and how she took it. Reacher is a matter of fact type person. In the books, that got him in trouble with his superiors all the time. Loved the Tetris comment by Roscoe...that always gives us a laugh. Thanks for you reaction. You allow us to relive it, again. Much appreciated. Cannot wait for your next ones...as the series progresses.

[@cinemawithsteph]

Oh yeah I definitely wanted them to go at it haha, just didn’t think realistically it would happen so soon. Then again, I base a lot of those thoughts on the romance novels I read which don’t quite apply here haha. Thanks for watching!

[@bradpriebe9218]

Was really looking forward to and really enjoyed your reaction to this episode. I think the timing of the shower scene was about right because it shows that Reacher is starting to open up and it also sets up their relationship for the rest of the series. Oh and the blush during the shower scene was unexpected but very cute😉

[@cinemawithsteph]

I just love me a romance 😊

[@Darkstar72SR]

14:22 I was exceedingly happy when Reacher started to breakdown Molly Beth’s steps like this because I do it too! I may not be a slab of granite but at least I think like him, lol!

[@cinemawithsteph]

the amount of sacrifice required for the granite look would 100% not be worth it 😂

[@cmcgccjsl]

This show is so much fun. Love that Roscoe is a woman that knows what she wants. She's been the one actually making the moves in their relationship, with Reacher being an "emotional dumpster fire".😅

[@MegaForrestgump]

He's not really a dumpster fire, he just puts off any feelings while he is "working." Well, I guess that can be considered a dumpster fire. So, forget I said anything. Please disregard this comment.

[@alyssat7809]

​@MegaForrestgump 😂😂😂

[@reggiedavis1788]

Great reaction. You mentioned that the train station exchange fail seemed out of character for Reacher. I would say that he simply missed it, like when his guard was down outside the hotel. Him and Roscoe didn't expect an attack. During your reaction when they were on their way meet her, Reacher attempted to analyze the situation and you mentioned that you wanted him to be really wrong at least once around the 14:30 mark. He got it really wrong. He didn't account that if they got beat to the hotel earlier there is a possibility of being beat to the station as well. He missed it. They weren't in the clear and Molly Beth died. Again, great reaction!

[@cinemawithsteph]

Thank you for pointing that out! I honestly didn’t connect that, but you’re totally right 🙈

[@Bikebrh]

You were wondering where you recognized the police chief from...If you watched Rizzoli & Isles, he was Jane Rizzoli's boss/sometime partner. He was also D-Day in Animal House 45 years ago, but he looks a little different now.😀😀😀

[@cinemawithsteph]

Even that I don’t recognize the name of 🤔 I’ll have to do a Google search

[@DavidB-2268]

And he was the Bartender in the original Quantum Leap.

[@iznot2]

And quite awhile he was in Animal House.

[@daverowe03]

That actor was in My Cousin Vinny. Not sure if that is something you have seen, though.

Truckers can make really good money. 100,000 grand sometimes, depending on their situations.

The guy playing the mayor/chief of police is the guy who played the sheriff in My Cousin Vinny. And D-Day in Animal House.

[@wigf173]

Haha, i loved the "wtf is happening? Is this a dream?". Honestly, I hope this show didnt peak at Season 1 and they continue to recast each season per the books. Despite how AMAZING the cast were together.

"good time to put it in". 😂 🫢🤐

[@TheNightshotBR]

If anything, the "intimate" scene between Reacher and Roscoe was postponed. In the book, it happens when they came back from the roadhouse and they stayed at the motel because the road was closed. But I get what you mean, they have to condense the story to make room for what's important.

[@charlestusin274]

The Mayor had been in a ton of movies. Starting with the role of D-Day in the classic, Animal House!!

[@nitrokid]

In the book, Roscoe was described as a kind, dark haired hot babe, and she and Reacher were going at it like bunnies. Like, a lot 😂

[@aaronbarlow4376]

You're probably far too young but the Teale actor played Jack Dalton, a character in the original series of 'MAcgyver' a great show. He's been in various shows over the years though.

[@noahrobin1941]

Bit of useless trivia for you: “Roscoe” is (old… like, “dating back a hundred years” old) slang for “pistol”. Enjoying your stuff; cheers.

[@graciefolden2359]

I understand it seems early for the them to "get" together, only being ep4 but in reality they have been through a lot of stress inducing situations that are only escalating by the hour and I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't happen after the night of dancing at the country bar and the road being washed out. ❤ 🇨🇦

In the Marine Corps we used hot sauce to clean metal and polish brass if we had no polish.

That’s insane! Now I don’t like hot sauce, but it would make me second guess eating it. Ketchup however, I could never turn it down lol

[@nataliya2641]

Thank ou, Steph.

[@frmthefuture]

the only problem i had with this show, is when reacher shot at the car door with his hand cannon. in real life, .50cal bullets would've gone through the car door and the person on the other side would've been dead. additionally, the car's driver would've also been hurt. that gun and those types of bullets are notorious for their ability to go through solid objects. plus, the holes in the door would've been WAY bigger...

[@JosephLinaburg]

He's from Rizzoli and Isles.

[@r.e.tucker3223]

Reacher doesn't lie [much].

[@mgass1354]

Ok, so, the whole emotional dumpster fire and being closed off... Reacher grew up in a military family, moving every few years. That means making new friends, getting attached, then losing those attachments... repeatedly... as a child. You learn to not make attachments. You don't make friends because you know you'll just move. You don't get close to animal pets because you lose them as many military families have to leave pets behind in a move. You close that emotional part off because you got hurt... repeatedly. Yes, this pertains to your family and siblings, as well, even more so if your family dynamic is abusive. So you grow up into an emotional dumpster fire. The series shows this in the dialogue. Reacher and Joe weren't "close" and didn't keep in touch much.

[@Befree898]

First thing you need to know that Reacher is a series action thrillers novels..This season covers one book, "Tripwire". They are being very truthful to the book..the scene in the shower is on the book..the phrase: this no change anything is in the book. He is definitely going to solve the case. The relationship between Roscoe and Reacher has no future..Reacher is a drifter who is moving and traveling all the time. Never stay on any places more than a few days. Roscoe will get a big promotion at the end of the case, so she will stay there forever.. Reacher will be leaving town forever. He never comes back to the same place. Next town, another case, another girl, or maybe not, depending on which book they decide to portray on next season.

[@Ernwaldo]

I thought the first season was based on Killing Floor. No?

[@cinemawithsteph]

That’s disheartening :( puts a damper on the rest of the season for me 😅

[@Befree898]

@@Ernwaldo you maybe right..l read all the series a couple of months ago. After that read the series of agent zero, and l am now on the last book of the series of the gray man. So l don't remember that well which book that maybe.

@@cinemawithsteph Right? Where’s the “*Spoiler Alert!*” hate that for you… 😞

[@Befree898]

@@cinemawithsteph sorry, the book here is "killing floors" not Trip wire, that's another one. Read the whole series a couple of months ago. Read another series after that, and finishing a third different series now 😆

[@eddiepiszczek4820]

I say this knowing that you're probably already finished watching the series, but I think you would benefit from reading "The Killing Ground". It would make Reacher's occasional judgement lapses a little more clear given his mental state at certain points in the story, like in Molly Beth's death for example. Reacher knew he fucked up and helped to crystallize, even further, his "mission". Plus, the Reacher books, in general, are phenomenal.

[@DavidSmith-pg1ob]

If you like this show you may want to try the show "Justified", it has some similarities IMO.

[@rolandsimone2573]

Steph...you're the one who wanted romance. Your reactions was the best!!! Congrats on all the new susbcribers. UR doing something right. Pick some more series to react to

[@jedipoet924]

I definitely felt like the sex scene didn't make sense for Roscoe's character at that point. Of course I've never been an attractive woman in a hotel with a muscular man, who knows what Id think was in character. 😂

[@Failingatlife69]

🙄

[@cinemawithsteph]

Lol I think there’s some validity to that

[@johnbrymer]

Not murders if they have guns drawn looking to kill him

[@cinemawithsteph]

Very true! I really wasn’t thinking of it like that but you’re completely right

[@Audra1964]

The scene where Roscoe got all huffy and slapped Reacher was my least favorite in the whole series. I’m afraid a lot shows these days feel like there has to be a tiny “badass” female character who can do anything a man can do and can take care of herself, etc. I realize the whole “helpless damsel in distress” is outdated but this scenario here goes too far the other way. I mean, we’ve already established that Reacher is a defender and protector by nature. Let the man be who he is without getting all offended. Besides, it worked out better that she was free to show up and back him up in the end, so what’s the problem? I agree with you. That slap and tongue-lashing was unfair, or unjustified is another way to say it.

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

I hated to see Joe's, "girlfriend" die like that. I have to say that really made me angry with whoever did it. Of course I know who, having seen the entire season but.... As always your reaction / review was spot on. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.

[@Failingatlife69]

How did you think it was a dream lol

[@cinemawithsteph]

Because it felt like it was happening too soon in the relationship lol. I’m applying my romance book logic which clearly doesn’t apply 😅

[@Failingatlife69]

@@cinemawithsteph Ahhh ok I can get behind that, btw I wasn’t hating lol

[@mgass1354]

@@cinemawithsteph Ahhhh... well, um... this wasn't a "romance", per se, as much as a big, muscular, hot looking guy that tripped Roscoe's, "I'd strap that on for a night". And, that's what happened. You get the hints of it from the scene where he is in the dressing room and she sees him shirtless with her look, the bar scene when they were dancing, etc. Remember, first time they were in a motel room, he slept on the floor even though she was running around in underwear. So, in the hotel, when he says he's going to shower, she saw her chance and took it.

[@theinvestigativemillennial9381]

Okay seriously "Picard?" was the book written BEFORE STAR TREK? or after? If it was written after that's a pretty lazy idea.

This episode had the only thing I didn't like about this series. A superior officer can't just "bust him down a rank and cut his pay". Most certainly not due to a spat between kids. It takes an entire court martial proceeding.
