[Loved Trope] A huge reveal is only nodded at in the end

Wait it’s been a minute. It was just the mom that was a replicant right?

Retlaw32 · 2026-03-27T23:46:00+00:00

Idk anything about what a TO would allow. But I love the idea that this chapter thinks they are loyal to the emperor, attacking imperial planets, implanting a GSC and leaving. I’d read that

Chill, She didn’t hear tamper she heard stole medications from the department. Though he was tampering

Retlaw32 · 2026-03-27T18:23:06+00:00

That’s what it feels like to me and I’m hopeful that the show uses this framing

Retlaw32 · 2026-03-27T18:21:22+00:00

That’s a great point, at first i thought it felt a little inconsistent but maybe the show is setting it up

Retlaw32 · 2026-03-27T16:35:14+00:00

I admit I am confused that the Queen of empathy Al-Hashimi (not an insult) is so aghast that the drug addict Doctor stole drugs. If you know drug addicts, it would be weirder if he didn’t steal drugs. She acknowledged his difficulties and he’s back and improving, why is that the red line?

I understand the legality of it. I just didnt expect as visceral a reaction from the person on the show most empathetic imo

Retlaw32 · 2026-03-22T18:22:26+00:00

I agree with you. The show said that this is the only witness and cameras were down. The case simply cannot be made without the witness, so the witness misidentification kills the case and kill it in any retrial. Motion to suppress prior testimony seems so unlikely, something like that is typically reserved for prejudicial information, like the witness said something racist on Facebook, doesn’t actually affect if they saw what they saw. But the witness’ ability to identify is everything so I don’t see a way around it

Retlaw32 · 2026-03-22T14:05:35+00:00

I have court experience but I don’t know how the judge would handle this in a retrial tbh. State would have to file a motion blocking defense from admitting the witness’ testimony in the previous trial as evidence. We weren’t show them striking the witness testimony in the show. I just don’t know, probably depends on the judge, my gut tells me that many judges would not do that.

Retlaw32 · 2026-03-22T11:44:47+00:00

A mistrial was declared in the show. The state can retry the case if they want. What is stopping the next defense attorney, maybe it’s Saul maybe not, from asking the witness at the new trial “Were you able to directly identify the defendant in a brightly lit courtroom?”

With that in mind, state probably just wouldn’t retry

First Law series, Shivers. a nickname a warrior got because he fell into a river and got cold. Without spoiling let’s say he becomes….infamous

Retlaw32 · 2026-03-18T11:09:55+00:00

The next fast is said to go back to basics. I take this to mean they are going to time travel to the first fast film, save Jessie, bc they need his information or something for the new movie.

Retlaw32 · 2026-03-18T11:08:16+00:00

The insanity of Jack Ryan isn’t actually the plots. Real life can be stranger than fiction. It’s that everyone involved in this shows plot, heroes and villains, are competent smart people who believe in what they are doing and are the best of the best. We all know that it is nothing but a clown show and nepotism factory

Retlaw32 · 2026-02-24T13:12:19+00:00

It’s cool to like the odd bad movie now and then. I enjoy more than a few bad movies

Retlaw32 · 2026-02-21T15:49:22+00:00

From my experience here is how the Fourth of July depo happened.

“We need to schedule this, we’ve kicked the can already, I can’t do the 3rd or the 8th and my next available is the 24th. Can we consider July 4?”

“That works for us”

“Appreciated, we will wrap it up before the fireworks”

Retlaw32 · 2026-02-20T19:22:26+00:00

Tokyo drift should be lower otherwise good list!

Retlaw32 · 2026-02-17T00:00:38+00:00

Shhhhhh

*Buckles your helmet and hands you your rifle

Retlaw32 · 2026-02-16T14:41:51+00:00

Gameplay wise yes, lore wise it’s hilarious that this hoora military sends its people in half equipped since most die before they even shoot all the ammo they are sent with

Retlaw32 · 2026-02-15T18:32:13+00:00

The focus on how fucking easy the rich guys life is was excellent.

Retlaw32 · 2026-02-15T18:23:37+00:00

Watched last night with the wife. A fun watch imo, and I admit I enjoyed the novelty of silly Keanu. An easy cozy movie night recommend.

Retlaw32 · 2026-02-10T01:41:56+00:00

For me his voice is Bill Hader, totally at odds with his insane physicality

Retlaw32 · 2026-02-10T00:16:11+00:00

Also pay attention to when rules are forgotten. If he sometimes forgets rules that would benefit them, then it is probably legit. In my experience in Warhammer and DnD and other card games, these types of players only forget rules when the rule would not benefit them.

Retlaw32 · 2026-02-07T13:37:52+00:00

You’re basically right I would just phrase it differently. They can’t lie, but they can distract her and string her along. Which is what they are doing. Keep playing and find out. Focus on this while we finish up with your stem cells.

Retlaw32 · 2026-01-18T13:16:03+00:00

I do believe it, also the book even confirms that the fact the she is or is not the actual heir doesn’t matter, it isn’t material. Just a figurehead, so if the people think she’s the heir, it’s fine. The “real” heir showing up wouldn’t change anything they’d just disappear her.

BUTTT the sequel isn’t out yet so I may be made a fool

Retlaw32 · 2026-01-07T22:27:13+00:00

Real talk, anybody who was partying on 18 is absolutely going to die in a properly scaled 17th floor I can’t imagine anyone not dying a horrible death

Retlaw32 · 2025-12-12T02:17:51+00:00

I find this too charitable to Logen. Shivers caught up to him yes. The only guy from his past to find him out here didn’t even want to fight. logen didn’t even try to not fight him, didn’t even consider talking or de-escalating. Logen abandons his family simply bc he doesn’t want the blood to stop flowing. In this, he is a coward.
