Excellent, clear, concise recap. Helps confirm what I thought was being shown about the gun.
I loved the song on the end credits of this episode. Looked all over for it. Anyone know where I can find it?
The soundtrack for season 2 has just been released
Here’s what I didn’t fully understand about the ballistics scene with Paul: All he has is an image of the bullet that was retrieved from the murder scene. So, what would make him think that the gun merchant rented out THE gun that was used in the killing just because the calibers match up? There’s no other guns out there, in the same caliber, besides the ones for rent in the gun tent?
I understand by the merchants reaction that, yes, he did rent out the gun to the brothers or they’re being frame but, I thought it was a bit of a jump we’d have to make with the writing that we were given.
Maybe I missed something?
What I don't understand is how he got the image, phonebooks, forensic knowledge, how in a world of vagabonds anyone would rent a gun for a dime then just hand you bullets.
Taking a picture that zoomed in on a bullet might have been possible but would be akin to NASA technology and there is no NASA. Why an ex beat cop would know anything about forensics is hard to believe, This was the days of operators not the yellow pages finding that many directories that quickly would be near impossible.
Last season was an amazing show with adept writing, this is something different.
@@andrewmarinelly5838 Yup. Up until this point, I didn’t have an issue with the writing this season but, this scene jumped out at me.
@@michael9659 I'm cursed by being too picky about things I like instead of enjoying them. This episode had me yelling at a screen. I might be done but good actors good production and very little to replace it as my Sunday show probably means I'm watching and hoping for next season.
My alarm bells really went off with the woman killing herself and it mattering to a man who never liked her and killed dying soldiers to spare them. First season Perry is more likely to shoot her than care.
@@andrewmarinelly5838 I’ll keep watching. I still enjoy it. Also, I think Perry’s emotional state is warranted. Imagine someone kept reaching out to you about them being suicidal, you didn’t believe they’d go through with it so you told no one AND then they actually did it. I think that would mess anyone up.
@@michael9659 I get that but not these two characters and not the way they chose to plot it out. Perry viewed the first season's story as all her fault, and thought she deserved her fate until the state tried to twist the narrative and punish her falsely. His interest wasn't in her but justice.
She cheated on her husband and leveraged her child to start a better life, instead of just leaving. Those times it isn't that easy but the way she handled it caused her child to die and it was very clear he viewed her as responsible.
But take the scene where he's talking to his partner to share the big revaluation. He was just threatened by what appears to be a brutal powerful man and knows he's gonna walk into a ton of shit. Instead of realizing his partner might not want that hurt and the similarity between the two issues he absolves himself of one mistake to immediately do it again with no sense of Irony.
Anyways that's all bad writing, just ticking through plot points with no care how they interrelate. You get that with a time crunch which may be the case but I have a feeling it's just bad writers.
Your view is healthy and I'm jealous I want to enjoy it but I can't, at least as fully as last season.
Gallardo’s are clearly innocent. They didn’t rent the gun. Paul misinterpreted the gun guy’s reaction.
I don't get the lesbian story line. In the 1930's not only was being gay illegal in most states, these women would most likely have been killed. A little historical context would be nice. Woke in the 1930's would never hapen.
Gay people have existed for as long as humans have existed. During this time, since being gay was a crime, most would never do it outright and explicitly. Those who decided to partner off would always be roommates, never married but Not woke, but real and an interesting story to tell
@@121597Luke The problem is this is a story about a lawyer who is required to follow the law as part of his oath. He is also supose to be one of the best lawyer in the country. It takes place in the 1930's. They are advertising this as based on a true story. These women are going out in public in that era. Never would have happened if they wanted to be alive to have a story to tell. Our history is what it is. All the good, bad and everything in between. Acting like the 1930's is 2023 is nonsense. Trying to remake history how we wish it would be, really. Why not just have it take place in present day. They want to have it both ways. Nonsense.
@@AnthonyMartinez-fx8pr Perry Mason the lawyer is also a law breaker, I mean we see that with him breaking into the impound lot in episode 2 to look and investigate Brooks' car. We also see that he has questionable ethics by, while not necessarily conning, promising future work for $1,000 retainer fee so they can take on the Gallardo's case. There's also the fact that ones duty to the law is almost always second to the love you have for the people in their lives. People weren't always going out and ratting on their friends and people they knew that were gay. This is also our history. People still chose to love, even in the fact of systematic persecution, people chose love.
@@121597Luke The reason gay people stayed in the closet was because of the danger. In the 1930's 2 women acting like they were in love in public could have gotten them killed. Remember this was a time of great prejudice in our history and not just against gay people. It's odd that Perry Mason was known for his court room abilities and yet this show has turned him into just another average attorney. It's as if Hollywood didn't even watch the original source material. Even today when someone says, a Perry Mason moment in court almost everyone knows what they are talking about. It's as if he barely knows what a courtroom is. Very strange.
@@AnthonyMartinez-fx8pr Perry hadn't yet become as legendary as he now is. He was just starting out. Sometimes, to catch a criminal, one has to act like one.
On a side note, his son Teddy was around 8 years old, which means that when the US entered WWII around a decade later, Teddy would likely be drafted into the Army, like his father was.
