That symbol on your coat, it was driving me nuts trying to remember. See my husband once called it a swastika and I said "no no you're being silly it can't be that" owing to you know, the obvious. Then I remembered, uh, it's a Hindu symbol. Which means you can't eat beef

was there ever an episode of Columbo where the culprit was just genuinely impressed at the sheer intelligence and tenacity on display and then like a defeated samurai resigned themselves to their fate out of tremendous respect for a worthy adversary

I just recently finished my rewatch of every single Columbo episode(They're all on archive.org if anyone's curious about it. The show still holds up in my opinion) and started Poker Face since a lot of people recommended it for Columbo fans. Not sure I'm a fan of Charlie's ability or the fact that so many murders happen near her but the rest of the show is great. It definitely needs longer episodes though. A bunch of the culprits in Columbo end up figuring out that they're up against an unstoppable force and the last 10 minutes of these episodes is them admiring the dismantlement of their perfect alibi. There's also often an element of Columbo respecting the culprit and being like "shame about the murder cause you and I could really get along."

Poker Face has reportedly been renewed for a second season. Though given the recent bullshit across so many streaming services, I guess who knows for sure.

I don't care about any of that, just keep giving Rian Johnson money to make this show!

I'm not horseless carriage man, but would whatever tricks and traps they put into the car become a problem in process of getting the car to and from the track and in position? Maybe they'll explain it just my first thought at the sabotage scene

Just watched episode 7 - my initial thought at the beginning was "there's no way he would've been able to sabotage the other guy's car that easily", so I'm glad they subverted that. I do think it was a little convenient that the other guy was able to convince his rival's daughter to take his place so quickly, though.

7 was pretty fun. I feel like it would have been more compelling if they didn't went with him just going openly evil. Still decent confrontation at the end and this was one of the better alternative gotchas the show has been playing around with.

I thought they did a good job with oh he’s an evil poo poo, you’re supposed to hate him and sympathize with the murder followed by a sudden “okay now that you think he’s dead, see him from his mother’s view and suddenly he’s a lot more understandable and sympathetic and the murderer is just a privileged rear end” immediately followed by “oh gently caress no he was evil all along”

I also liked how the guy used Charlie's lie-detecting ability against her, to manipulate her into investigating the other guy's sabotage attempt.

Honestly, Charlie's power is weird. It doesn't seem to pick up on a general sense of deception but rather on the exact wording of a statement. This makes me wonder how she used that in poker. Silently raising the bet isn't really a lie. Did she contiuously ask "Do you have the flush? Do you?" Until they gave her a binary answer?

Escobarbarian posted:What makes you think this? The show has always given me the impression it’s the former. The fact that this guy said "that guy sabotaged my car," to make her chase after the other one. Technically, there wasn't a lie here but "I know he did it and chose not to fix it in an effort to kill his daughter," is a quite big ommision, which sort of changes the context. Also, the adultering wife of the steak guy managed to mostly hide that she was in on it, when they were talking about how his brother killed him. Actually, it's a consistent trend. The retired child UN bombers managed to sway her on their side, by ommiting that part when they explained how they were arrested. Telling a sob story about how the police violently captured you without that context comes across a bit deceitful. As far as I can tell, she has a weird little genie in her head, which tells her true or false by the exact phrasing of the reply. The point is, I don't see her picking up lies of ommision, which would make poker kind of tough, unless everyone is a blabbermouth boasting about their cards. If, at the end of the game, I have a garbage hand, but say "All in!" is that a lie? cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 15:40 on Feb 17, 2023 |

Right and I think there will come an episode where she gets duped for a while because some liars are so divorced from reality they believe their own bullshit and expect others to without a thought towards any dissonance with reality.

My only complaint about the new episode is that TBN was not in enough of it. I watched this whole show over the last week and I really, really love it. Charlie is essentially just a superhero with two very specific powers: ability to spot bullshit and meet people right before they get murdered in very clever ways. I will agree with the opinion ITT that the episodes are too short though. It always gets to the climax before I even realize it. They pull so much from Columbo except for giving each episode time to breathe. You don’t really get the cat-and-mouse game. Charlie realizes what’s going on and just streamlines it right to the end. Fits with her character though since she isn’t actually a cop trying to collect enough evidence to persecute.

Really loved that episode and how it played around a bit with the formula. Particularly liked how the guy weaponized her ability to make her investigate his rival but LOVED that what ended up raising her suspicions is when he actually did a GOOD thing and reassured the kid about the seat-belt in the go-kart, and his well-intentioned lie there exposed his whole scheme. The ending where technically he gets away with everything and is rewarded but you know he's completely hosed and so does he was also very well-handled.

Honestly with all the poo poo and intimidation he kept pulling, especially at their house, I would've tried to kill him too. But maybe I just innately root for Tim Blake Nelson.

This is surprisingly a lot of fun! And the Columbo comparison is pretty spot on, IMO. She's got the same energy. First two episodes were entertaining so I'll keep watching.

It's that over-the-top bronx accent. Four episodes into Columbo, it's great. I wish they had slightly bigger casts, ala' The A-Team, as 2/3 of each episode appear to be Columbo just chewing the murderer out until they slip up. Maybe that'll happen as the show goes on. Did blow my mind when an episode ended and "DIRECTED BY STEVEN SPIELBERG" popped up. Good job kiddo.

Yeah the very episode of the Columbus TV was directed by Spielberg which blew my mind. The whole time I was watching it I kept thinking “wow this is so cinematic and beautifully shot” so it made sense to see his name there, but still a surprise. He was only 24 years old! A loving prodigy. To put it in perspective, Rian Johnson was 31 when he directed Brick.
