Reacher Season 1 Episode 6 'Papier' First Time Watching! TV Reaction!!

[@trhansen3244]

I've read a few of the Reacher novels and I honestly never thought they would find the right actor. They did. This guy is perfect.

[@ISavant]

I've read a ton of them too and I laughed when they first cast Tom cruise

[@EpimethiusPSN]

I know nothing of Reacher. When the Tom Cruise movies came out I was not interested in them at all. When I saw Alan Ritchson was starring in this I was excited to check this out. Binged the entire series in a day. I liked this series so much I actually went back to watch Tom Cruise's Reacher. I was bored and checked out half way through the movie. I need to start reading the novels as I am now VERY intrigued about this character and his world.

[@CALLaBOOTY09]

Having read the books more times than I remember it was hard picturing cruise as reacher but Alan ritchson is also way to pretty for book reacher. I still think Tom cruise portrayed reachers personality better in the first and I think I see Thad castle to often. And towards the end of this series they started adding and changing things which I hate but if lee child is a producer I can accept that. For me I still like the first movie the best, then the series, then 2nd movie. Books are always better though.

[@Al-rs2rr]

@@CALLaBOOTY09 At first I thought the same thing, Ritchson is just too pretty to be Reacher. But I sort of understand the fact that the t.v. Reacher is more visual than the book Reacher that relies on our imaginations. They sort of had to make him a little better looking to justify him always getting the girl. In my opinion Ritchson is the perfect Reacher. Tom Cruise's only downfall as Reacher was that he just wasn't big enough.

[@CALLaBOOTY09]

@@Al-rs2rr ya and to be fair also, the casting sample will be so small for a character like reacher and what big ripped actor isn’t going to be to pretty for reacher.

[@herrzimm]

Best thing about Reacher and Diez is how fast Reacher was able to sum up Diez as a person. Still careful enough about "the small details" such as haircut and shined shoes. That meant that you could count on him to make sure that things were done "by the book" in regard to how protecting someone should take place. Plus, he also knew as a former soldier that he could take care of himself under stressful situations. He also knew upon hearing his rank and unit, just how much Diez would know just how serious the situation was if someone with Reacher's rank and unit showed up and said that something had to be taken care of. The two men, summed each other up just from careful observation and familiarity of ranks/units. All of this with the minimum of words and no need to do any kind of wasted scene to establish new character that will (not a spoiler) not really impact the story itself. This was a simple "I know I can trust this guy to be on the level and capable" without having to waste an entire episode to establish this like other shows "feel" the need to do.

[@paulcollinsyoga]

The series format works perfectly for the adaptation of these books. It all depended on finding the right Reacher, and boy did they ever nail it!!!! That final scene is just peak Reacher. Brutal, efficient, and intelligent. What I loved watching the series is how well developed the main characters were. Gradually we learn more and more about everyone, so we are fully invested in the story.

[@forreal2398]

Well u noticed that Reacher went into a high end shop to have the suit done. That means high end ties made of silk. Silk is some of the strongest stuff on earth.

[@anthonyperez5757]

I was about to post about this exact topic. Silk is the strongest biological substance that is both elastic and strong. Five times stronger than the equivalent high-grade steel. Spider silk can withstand winds that would topple you. A pencil width strand of spider silk will stop a Jumbo 747 mid-flight.

It’s really fun seeing reactions from people who haven’t read the books, thank you for this. Also, if you’re fascinated by the conversation about counterfeiting, it’s massively scaled down - in the book it takes up pretty much an entire chapter.

[@spdcrzy]

Silk has VERY high tensile strength (comparable to steel on a one-to-one basis), as well as extremely high elasticity as well. That's why high quality, bespoke ties are usually silk - and why that tie could hold Reacher's weight. If you used a couple dozen ties, you could probably tow a car.

[@spornge]

It is never wasted money on clothes , food and travel , these three things you always get exactly what you pay for, I have a couple (literally 2) 2k Suits and its impossible not to look good in them no matter what condition you put them on in , there is almost no way to destroy them unless you really , really try. That is a bit hyperboble but you do have to do something drastinc to them, the two 300 ties I have that go with them you could repel if the were longer. / Clothes, Food and Travel never skimp on these you always get what you pay for down to the stitch (pun intended)

[@petertoth3477]

As Reacher and Finley were makin fun of each other's music tastes, I was like "Come on guys, you both have great tastes in music. Just give each other a break :D"

[@CJ-nu7dp]

Bro when he was just hanging from him & spirit in the sky started playing. FUCKING HARDDD 🤣🤣

[@phj223]

20:03 That involuntary squeal from Sam was too precious xD

[@snooks5607]

20:10 fabrics have a lot of tensile strength, spider silk is famously stronger than steel, silkworm silk used in textile industry is only maybe half as strong but still pretty durable, synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon are actually stronger. granted supporting a still weight isn't comparable to unstable one but a necktie of any material should still easily hold a human in the air even if he's kicking a bit.

[@msmith5121]

[@ingobordewick6480]

Expensive ties like this one are usually made of silk, which is a very, very strong material, nearly unbreakable by force.

[@roguemerlin1969]

What makes you think Reacher isn't sensitive. He is but he just doesn't care in most cases. He did get a smile out of Finley. The phone was a type of dead man's switch, he turns it on and if he doesn't turn it off within a certain time period it sets off a charge that may even be surgically implanted inside him. As far as the accountant goes, if you don't recover a body then it is only a possible kill. What he told his wife would be hear-say evidence, meaning we don't know if he was telling her the truth or not. I play poker and almost always have 5 or 6k dollars in hundred dollar bills. In the early 70's I carried 1000 dollar bills. Larger bills were also printed, 5k, 10k, and 100k, some of them were Gold Certificates, exchangeable for gold from the Federal Reserve. They started taking them out of circulation in 1969, partly because they weren't being used very much and because criminals were using them to move large amounts of cash into and out of the U.S.

[@samantha_schmitt]

Missed opportunity!!

[@lashlarue59]

The Supernotes urban legend goes back to the early days of The Internet. Supposedly in the late 1970's the CIA wasn't satisfied with the level of funding they were getting from Congress. So the CIA somehow got a hold of a Treasury Dept. printing press and they decided to counterfeit their own money to fund their operations. Since the CIA was using official paper and a official printing press their bills were nearly perfect and indistinguishable from the real thing and thats where the term Supernotes came from. The CIA had to hide where this counterfeiting was being done for obvious reasons so they hid the entire operation and equipment in the basement of the US Embassy in Iran. Everything was going great until in 1979 when the Shah of Iran was overthrown and the US Embassy was captured by the Ayatollah Khomeini. At this point supposedly the Iranians moved the press and all of the equipment from the Embassy to somewhere in Lebanon to continue the counterfeiting operation for their benefit. This all sounds like a load of BS until sometime in the 1990's a bunch of super high quality counterfeits started coming out of the Becca Valley area of Lebanon. Then around that time the US started changing to design of paper currency every few years for a while and all those countermeasure devices started showing up in the money. In the 1990's this story was floating around BBS systems and Usenet newsgroups but you don't hear much about it anymore. So is this true? Who knows but thats the urban legend.

There's a reason you have to remove ties before getting close to a lot of machinery. It can get caught and will absolutely kill you. Those things are strong.

[@ck_idgaf1680]

The conversation about the counterfeiting is scaled down, it went into greater detail in the book. BUT yeah, most materials are VERY hard to find or to create, but the paper is completely illegal to buy, sell and own worldwide, you will get long fed time if caught with it.

I've been Googling "Venezuelan Butterfly Cut" and I honestly think it's the exact same thing as a Colombian necktie, IMO. Unless, of course, anyone else has any information on this matter. Anyway, if it is, good call.

[@paulnesseler5809]

the only difference I could find was that the Colombian necktie was done postmortem as psychological warfare and by the Venezuelan butterfly cut the person is still alive so it makes them asphyxiate and bleed out simultaneously, so they effectively drown in their own blood.”

20:01 I had the same reaction to that ankle break and reverse hangman 😂

[@mgass1354]

So, to answer some of the questions raised, in a place where TBR may actually see it... 1) Reacher and Joe not being "close". As a military family, you move a lot. You learn over time not to get close to people, even family. So, Joe and Reacher not keeping in contact a lot is because of the fact they moved a lot as kids and learned how to not get close to people. 2) Reacher as Sherlock Holmes. In the books, it takes a little longer for Reacher to put things together than it does in the series. But, given the lack of time, even as a series, they have to condense it down. 3) Reacher as a hobo. Reacher spent a lot of time overseas, as a kid and when he was active duty. When he left the military, he decided to travel the US to see what he missed. He goes as a hobo because he learned to not have "things" after moving all the time.
