The Rookie: Double Down (2022)
Bailey? Again?
Why the hell was Bailey at the courthouse, in the trailer, and then again in the incident room when they were working the case?
She's gotten like Nathan Fillion's 'Doctor Cop Lawyer' from Con Man (2015).
Have the current writers never seen a TV show before, or read a book? All the characters are becoming ridiculous.
The show has always asked us to suspend our disbelief but, c'mon, at some point they've lost sight of the path.
They've gotten so used to writing for unrealistic scenarios that they've gradually, over time, led us on to what is now almost unwatcheable.
Please take a moment and refocus. You're supposed to be professionals.
The Tank (2023)
What the fudge happened to Archie?
Is his final appearance lying on the editing floor? Did he take the cop's car and will catch up with them later? Did he decide to stay and get some surfing in?
One minute he's there: and then we hear the mother shouting for him to get in the car: but we don't see him again.
I'm wondering whether he was killed, but it didn't go over well with audiences, so they cut the scene.
Anyway - that aside - the movie had potential, but for some exceptionally ridiculous decision making. Even for a horror movie.
For example, the dad's plan to 'draw' the creature back into the tank, right after he saw the cop being dragged off by the creature: when he climbed into the tank he immediately saw the cop's body floating around in the water, so the monster was obviously back in the tank ... so why continue with the plan?
So many other overly-frustrating situations, which usually make horror what it is .... just can't get over their disregard for Archie!
The Rookie: Red Hot (2021)
An intentional homage to the bar fight in Serenity?
Love this show. Especially cameos from, and reference to, Nathan Fillion's previous shows and movies.
There have been loads throughout those series, and this one episode has a scene very similar to the bar fight in Serenity.
Trying a lock combination numerous times in the background of a martial arts fight.
Getting the combination repeatedly wrong until that crucial moment when he steps in and levels his gun to stop the fight.
Classic Captain Reynolds.
Run Hide Fight (2020)
Jane McLaine in Die Hard: Homecoming
Elephant meets Die Hard.
It's got it all:
- A terrorist seeking vengeance against the protagonist for killing their sibling
- Crawling around in the ceiling
- Cheeky banter over the radio
- False fire alarms
- News crews putting their foot in it
- The antagonist's schedule involving power shut downs and the alerting of the authorities
- There's even a very familiar shot of our be-vested hero limping along with a machine gun
