This is the reacher we all deserved. When he's taking down 4 guys I actually believe it. I love you, Tom, no one will ever fly like you, but you're not Jack Reacher.
Someone get this dude a gun!
Still making my mind up about the adaptation overall, but one moment in this episode did make me sit up and take notice in a big way: Reacher is dancing with Roscoe at the roadhouse, they lean closer together, their foreheads touching. We see the deputy relaxing, and a beat later, Reacher does the same, his eyes closing, peace settling across his face. It's a subtle grace note that had been missing from Alan Ritchson's performance up to this point, and I was relieved to see it. To say nothing of how heartening it was to see the creative team be this willing to show vulnerability and surrender in their big-ass superhuman male lead.
