Steph it's been years since Rosco. He's been hitch hiking around, and staying with people who picked him up. I'm more than sure several of those who picked him up were women. After all he's easy on the eyes, is built like a Greek God. So there were several women Reacher slept with before this episode.
I am not mad but am rather thoroughly enjoying your discomfort with the Reacher/Dixon situation. lol It's your honest reactions that makes it fun to watch. Keep up the good work.
This whole Dixon/Roscoe thing is hilarious to me 😂 but I get it. You get attached to certain characters/relationships and it’s difficult to detach yourself from them.
Watching your emotional gymnastics over the Dixon hook up was hilarious. Look at it this way. Reacher keeps a social distance between most of the people he comes across. There was a connection with Dixon that went back to when they were working together and that curiosity and attraction to her, especially when their friends are getting killed off, would drive them together for a sense of reconnection if anything. They both seemed pretty adult about it the next morning and weren't picking out china patterns together. He could trust and was attracted to Dixon. Let him have it. Roscoe is still in his heart, but he's a loner.
The unique thing about the Reacher books is that each book follows a drifter. Usually, he will find something that intrigues him and he follows his curiosity, such as a purple heart medal in a pawn shop. At other times, something will happen while he is present at that place. the point being is that there are very rare moments when he meets up with someone from a previous book. Neily is an example of a recurring character. To really enjoy these shows, you have to focus on the story being told and the action. Try not to become attached to previous characters. I'm curious how these shows will go with this style of storytelling that works very well in novels, versus television. I hope it is a long lasting series.
Counting cards if you remember every card that has been played in a deck that you can make a bet on the card that's coming next because you know the cards that are left you have to have an exceptional memory
I hate to break this to you Steph, but every book takes place in a different town, with a different woman by his side helping with the investigation/fight. Outside of Neagley, the only women that appear in more than one book are Dixon(who also appears in prequel novels)Jodi Garber (The daughter of his former C.O.) in books 3 and 4, Susan Turner(voice on the phone in book 14, they meet in book 18), and Michelle Chang(books 20 and 22, and he has just left her at the beginning of 22). Time line wise we are already past Jodi Garber, and Susan Turner was already in the Tom Cruise Movie "Never Go Back".
Reacher is alone alot. He liked Roscoe alot but its been 2 years and you know he still has that clark bar wrapper with her number on it or he memorized the number. Dixon was an old crush that is now back in his life while working a case. And he likes dixon and oddly both dixon and Roscoe are the same type of woman. So reacher could have saw dixon in roscoe. I also know that this is a show with fan service while still showing respect to the creater so who knows Roscoe might show up again
I absolutely loved your reaction. It had me laughing pretty much the entire time. Lol youre facial expressions of disapproval were great. Keep the reactions coming gorgeous.
I'm only halfway in and I am loving the 'BUT THAT IS NOT ROSCOE!' attitude... I completely feel ya on that. I'm not going to exhaust the usual argument of, 'but in the Reacher books, yadayada.' Honestly, the first season was like casting you as Roscoe. Why would anyone want to see anyone else as the 'Reacher's female interest when Roscoe was so dang perfect?' ERM... anywho (*blushes*). I'll continue watching the reaction now.
It's not cement, it's concrete, which portland cement is an ingredient of... in an investigation details matter😂😂😂, 😞 I'm so sorry, I couldn't resist 😊❤🇨🇦
For you, it was like...last week for Roscoe. Still found it hilarious when were like, "I hope I'm wrong" and me laughing knowing you won't have long to wait. Like...15 minutes.
Anyone mad that you're mad Steph doesn't know how emotionally territorial women are, it makes perfect sense. Shipping people started with women. This is definitely a grittier season so get ready for the ride!
Reacher doesn’t want a home. He doesn’t want to stay anywhere permanently. He would have been happy with Roscoe if she wanted to travel with him. But she wanted to stay in her home town of Margrave
Well, in the book, Reacher starts actually questioning his lifestyle choice. Neagly is successful. Dixon is working big cases with a big salary. O'Donnell has a family while doing work for big money. This puts him into an existential crisis in the book... a minor one... but one nonetheless.
@@GentleGiantJason No, this is from the book which season 2 is based on, Bad Luck and Trouble, hence my mentioning of Dixon and O'Donnell in addition to Neagly.
I understand your position. You want the Rasco Reacher romance. The man being loyal to his love. But in the books last season was the 1st book this is around the 9th book. Which is why Reacher tells Neadly that it's been two years nine months and fourteen days since then.
You gotta get over the Roscoe thing. She's not his one and only, she's just the first one you saw. Also, he hasn't seen or even spoken to her in over 2.5 years. If you watched Reacher's life chronologically you might have been telling Roscoe to get her hands off Dixon's man.
While I agree, I too think it's fun just to see people have their own preferences😅 I say let them get used to it at their own pace. At this point in the show I didn't feel anything for Dixon either to be honest.
@@Failingatlife69 Oh I was moreso responding to the original comment/poster. But as someone who is autistic as well I get what you're saying. But the way I see it Steph simply enjoyed the chemistry between Reacher and Roscoe a lot and from a romantic perspective wanted to see it progress, not replaced. Mind you she wasn't aware what kind of character Reacher was and how the show would depict his romances.
@@justjdnl that’s why personal I would read the books before watching the show. I’ve literally read them all and am so glad they are getting the love they deserve
Yeah, Roscoe was pretty sweet. Meanwhile, "counting cards" means counting the cards played and then calculating the probabilities of the next cards coming to play. As the deck nears being played out, one's guesses at the next play become higher, so the player gets an advantage. This is difficult to do, but there are a few people who manage.
Really enjoying your reaction to this series as always, and looking forward to seeing it unfold! I'm fairly sure at one point it would have been possible to trigger an airbag like that if you knew where the sensor was, but modern ones use accelerometers to gauge the force of an impact, and usually also require the vehicle to be turned on; which admittedly we can't rule out based on what we see in the episode. Given where he kicked the car and the age of it I'd say it's virtually guaranteed that that would never happen in real life. It makes a cool scene though. Counting cards is a blackjack strategy where you track how many high value cards have been removed from the dealer's stack which allows you to make inferences based on the percentage of high value cards left to be dealt. If you know, for example, that all of the 10s and jacks, and half of the queens and kings have already been dealt, you know there is a lower chance of any future card busting your hand by taking you over the target of 21. The longer you play, the better idea you have of what's left. It's a slim advantage, but over time it's enough to outweigh the casino's built in margin. It's not illegal if you don't use mechanical or external assistance to keep track, but casinos have the right to stop any guest from playing any game at any time. They also counter the strategy somewhat by using multiple decks shuffled together, and replacing them regularly. P.S. The DIxon sass is hilarious! XD
Lmao! I love your reaction. You crack me up. My opinion is that this season shows a more vulnerable side of Reacher, which is why he seems a tad off from last season, because his old unit knows him and they have grown in their lives out of service. With them all being awesome I think he has pressure to still be impressive which he’ll always be in their eyes. Just my opinion.
Glad you're back, Russo actor is one of my favorites, good in several series. First in 2011 Breakout Kings, then Ray Donovan as cop Sean McGrath, 10 episodes in last series of it. Then in one of favorites, Power, Billions, the Marvelous Mrs . Maisel and this! Name is Dominick Lombardozzi. He's in 2023 movie from Netflix Reptile, with Benicio del Toro, Eric Bogosian and Michael Pitt.
The show is called “Reacher” not “Roscoe.” 🤣 He’s Sherlock Homeless, a drifter who solves mysteries. If you get too attached to other characters, you’re destined for disappointment.
Well, in the books, he's more like House. Smart, yes, but gets things wrong as much as right, figuring it out in the end. The series? He's Holmes on steroids due to the time constraint.
Even Lee Child, the OG author, was let down that Roscoe wasn't in Season 2. You're in the same boat as the author and millions of fans. We hear you. Plus, Roscoe prioritized rebuilding Margrave over Reacher, so she needs time for that. With the years that's gone by and the fan demand, Season 3 has a bigger chance of bringing her back.
An answer about counting cards: There are some individuals that are able to know what cards will pop up during any kind of card game. Dixon was saying "I can stay comfortably knowing your third card will bust you" to the dealer because she knew that the third card would be a high number. Therefore the dealer lost. In a casino counting cards is not tolerated as you could win a lot of money doing it. Essentially it is cheating at most card games.
That is…. Pretty inaccurate… It’s not cheating by any definitions of the word, because you are not using any information that isn’t available to everyone else. Also, a card counter wouldn’t *know* what the next card would be, they would simply know the odds (roughly or exactly) of any given group of card values would be to appear next. Lastly, card counting is only really a strategy in Blackjack. For most other card games (casino or otherwise), it doesn’t really do anything special…
@@Skrulzie What casinos tolerate or not doesn’t mean shit. It’s not cheating. Just because they don’t like that one of their most popular games has a glaring error that makes it go from in their favour to in the player’s favour, doesn’t mean they get to dictate the definition of cheating. What the casinos can and can’t do about it differ from place to place and county to county, depending on laws. But I’ve never heard about anyone ever being arrested and convicted for card counting. Meanwhile, there’s many examples of people being arrested for actual cheating, like rigging machines, match fixing, etc…
@@Whiskypapa "Card counting is legal despite widespread assumptions. Mentally tracking the cards breaks no rules or laws of the country. However, casinos consider this as unlawful and a form of cheating. It's an advantage move that reduces the casino's mathematical advantage over players." I am stepping out of this argument as trying to argue with someone who does not read is incredibly infuriating. *EVERY CASINO EVER BANS CARD COUNTING* It is a literal fact and so many sources throughout Google will tell you the same thing I said. Having any sort of advantage over other players/dealers is considered cheating. *period*
It's been 2 years since he spent a week with Roscoe, and he spent years with Dixon! If anything, Roscoe was the distraction, an adorable and smart one I grant you! Or maybe it's because I'm a fan of Serinda Swan ever since Breakout Kings (which she was in with Finlay surprisingly enough)
Roscoe was also built up considerably from her characterization in the book. Good thing about a multi-part series; usually movies have to leave much of a novel out or give it short shrift, but here they can add details.
@@jonathanroberts8981 Yeah, and as such I understand the attachment, Willa killed the role and the romance felt believeable, but also had an undertone of fleeting to it for me, in a 'they kept each other company and kept each other warm' and that's it kind of thing. Like a conversation on a bus, it can be wonderful, but once the destination is reached we split up again to never see one another again. I figured he doesn't really do attachments, considering he led the 110th for years and grew up with his brother yet was unaware where his brother was or what became of the 110 (In season 1). Reacher imo made it clear that Roscoe was a fling. Didn't know her last week, won't know her next week style.
Holy shit I had no clue Shea off breakout kings was Finlay. Wtf💀 I recognized serinda swan & domenick lombardozzi but not Malcom Goodwin😭 & same I’ve loved serinda swan ever since breakout kings, I love her in reacher. Kinda shocking they have 3 main characters from breakout kings on reacher, I love it, glad they’re all still acting & getting good roles
"Let me be wrong about this"... Yeah... you aren't wrong, Steph. Dixon and Reacher were hot for each other from day 1. He was her commanding officer, so, yeah, that wasn't happening at the time. And it's good that you're binging because... well... you'll see. What I CAN say is that they are not just adapting the books, they are re-writing the book's story. So, Dixon. She is BIG into numbers. It's why Reacher pulled her onto the team in the first place. That's how she can count cards, ie, she remembers which cards were played and then uses statistics for the odds of each other not used card to be played. And saying what they've changed is basically pointless (the construction yard scene was changed from the book) because the show writers are re-writing the books. "Why must they do this..." Well, because Reacher is written from a "here's a manly man hero for you to read about" standpoint. So, you get a hot hunky guy that all the women are just wanting to strap on for a night or two, who unless there is some moral or ethical reason not to, is going to hop on that train too. That's the reason. Each book is the same way. But, the series put Neagly into the first season when she wasn't in the book, so, they are re-writing the books to incorporate new things.
Oh well, I'm the type of guy who will never settle down Where pretty girls are well, you know that I'm around I kiss 'em and I love 'em 'cause to me they're all the same I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em, they don't even know my name They call me the wanderer Yeah, the wanderer I roam around, around, around That's Reacher
Great review! Wow, I think an appropriate new tag line for your channel- "You Don't Mess w/ Steph the true Romantic"... As I watched the 3 releases, it was this is not near as much fun as watching along with you, and felt almost like cheating with out your commentary. All the best, M-
Love your Reaction to this youre hilarious in my opinion i dont think youll get in trouble for cursing on here and giving the double middle fingers ya rock keep it up i look forward to seeing your next reaction
Poor Steph. 😂 I’ve been reading the books for years, so never got that attached to any one woman. But to be fair, Dixon and Reacher had a much longer and deeper relationship before they finally hooked up… Roscoe was much more of a ships-in-the-night quickie in that light. 😂 Gonna have to let it go. 🤷🏻♂️ In the books, he wasn’t celibate in the time between those two women.
l had told you so many times that Reacher is a drifter, he never stays more than a few days on any place. He is always traveling. He doesn't like to come back to any city or town visited previously. But they can alter the story line on a tv show, so they are making little changes already, and you will see someone from Margrave on episode 4 that wasn't supposed to be here now. So maybe they make Roscoe return in the near future, but l am not sure that's going to happen on this season. Maybe in season 3. They are already filming season 3 of Reacher. There's 26 books, so they have a lot of material to choose. Any book is different from the other, only thing that doesn't change is Reacher.
I am so sorry that you have an ISSUE with Dixon now. But, to make it a little better, they introduced the problem early, so you could get passed it. Last season they made us wait 4 shows. This season was only 1. (she was just introduced) Plus, I'd bet that he hasn't had any since Roscoe. And, I bet neither one of them are bothered by it. But, we shall see I guess. Plus, you are just as hooked on this show as we are. LOL Nice Post, and thx for sharing your reactions with us.
It might be easier if she grew up. Roscoe is awesome, but she’s the first love interest we were introduced to that Reacher knew for about a week 2 years prior to this season. A guy that roams the country and looks like that is supposed to be faithful to a chick he barely knows!?
@@gchild1286legit they hung out for a week, hooked up once & haven’t talked in 2 + years lmao. I hooked up w some women in college that now, 3 years later I can’t even remember their names lmao reacher & Roscoe had a deeper bond from collectively taking down the criminal organization in S1 but again I’ve forgotten the names of some women I knew better than reacher knew Roscoe lol
when I tell you I HORSE LAUGHED every time you disapproved of Dixon and Reacher flirting, i am not BSing. I obviously get it because i loved roscoe but apparently Reacher is like James Bond with his women.
Steph, nothing wrong with your reading an action piece like a romance. They can share elements. Realistically, though, Reacher & Roscoe split over two years before, and clearly. Why should romance works not explore such things, given that they happen so much?
Serious question. How long should he be celibate? It's been 2 years+ since his affair with Roscoe. If they had been together, either longtime commitment or marriage, and she had died, how long should he wait before finding companionship with another woman? Do you think Roscoe would want him to live a life of celibacy? Love your reactions! Can't wait for the next two, those that have been released.
From hooking up once? He could sleep w a new woman the next night after he left margrave & itd be acceptable. They slept together once, aren’t dating, he’s leaving town to who knows when or if he ever comes back. I mean cmon
ok steph. this is a funny analysis for me, from my detective Colombo POV. are you actually predicting Dixon death purely based on intuition or are you just wishing it should occur for Reacher to fall into the arms of Rosco? the clash between your romantic bias and your logical thinking is fascinating. I am very curious about making sense of it all. either way, I'm loving the reactions, keep up the great work.
Honestly I don’t think there’s much to make sense of 😂 Not because I dislike her, I just genuinely feel like Dixon will end up dying. I have no actual reason to back it up, just a hunch of sorts. I’ll always want Reacher with Roscoe, and everyone can tell me it will never happen and that may be true, but I’ll still ship it anyways 😂
i couldn't agree more with everything you just said. the truth is my interest lies in the fact that two people highly intelligent watching the same show get affected in such an incredibly different way. without the romance and your POV, the show would only be half as good frankly. @@cinemawithsteph
Great reaction like always, you cant be attached to any characters from the previous season that you know, from the books the only character that appear often is Finlay but the others are never the same, i understand your point of view but please see this with a open mind. keep up the good work
@@cinemawithsteph Absolutely not. This is your reaction. Feel how you feel. If people get mad, they can bounce. I'm big on romance novels and movies myself. I'm a very proud Hallmark romance fan. I've written a movie for them. So, I get it. I start shipping couples immediately, so, yeah... the Roscoe thing does sting. For me, it was alleviated by the casting of Serinda Swan. I've loved her since Smallville. Love Alan Ritchson since then as well.
In case you haven't noticed, we're not in a fairytale forest here. It is perfectly normal for people who are not in a relationship to find another partner after 2 years after a short relationship. I bet Rosco didn't wait for Prince Reacher in her fairytale tower and hope that he would stay chaste, and she certainly didn't put on metal panties with a lock either. So maybe we'll get over the topic now.
First off all, calm down. There's nothing wrong with shipping the main character with one specific other character, even though the show won't take that route. She already stated she accepts what direction they're going with-she doesn't have to like it. It's merely her own preference, and we all have those. This shift in "romance" is not taking away her actual enjoyment of the show itself nor her focus on the story. And I think she finds it more than normal for people to sleep around-again, she was just emotionally invested and appreciated the connection Reacher established with Roscoe. It's not that hard to be patient and let the viewer adjust to the tone of the show or character.
@@justjdnl It's interesting that you think you can judge my feelings. No big surprise that you can't, because I was never upset. I think your imagination is a bit excessive. A bit neurotic.
@@TomTomson81 Excessive imagination and neurotic? I'm not the one talking about fairytale forests, metal panties, feeling the need to express what is normal in a relationship (when it seems clear nobody has issues with the concept itself), and wanting get over the topic of Roscoe. But hey I'm good and apparently you are too.
@@justjdnl I judge what I actually see and describe it in a flowery context. You, on the other hand, imagine things on the basis of a text and adjust it according to your imagination. You can't even tell the difference. I would suggest educating yourself a bit before making comparisons in a psychological context, before you make yourself even more ridiculous.
Frances is actually Neagley's first name. Franzy is the nickname for Calvin Franz. I really like your reactions but you really have to get past the Roscoe thing. Reacher has a "female friend" in almost every story (more or less).
Your reaction to Reacher and Dixon is partly tainted by the fact that you've watched season 1 quite recently. That being said, as being discussed in episode 1 "it's been 2 years X months etc". I'm quite certain that that was mentioned to make 'it ok' for Reacher to be with Dixon after Roscoe. Though I think the Roscoe Reacher relation had more chemistry.
I mean until Reacher says to Dixon the equivalent of "if anyone would want to make me stay next to the campfire it would be you" then more than likely it's just sexual attraction, it's possible that Roscoe can be his "one true love" and have reacher still sleep with new people each season
I meeaaaan it's not just that it's an action show. James Bond is an action series and he still gets with a different lady every entry save one or two - so it's not that action is necessarily bereft of romance. Now Reacher isn't James Bond not by way of character or series vibe so he doesn't get with a different woman every book BUT he is a solitary dude who does nothing but wander so if you're set in this idea that he has a One And Only True Love you're gonna have a bad time. I know it's been a few months for you if that, but it's been over two years for him. Not that your reaction isn't entertaining for us, we're laughing - but if you wanna save yourself pain assuming this series keeps going, you're gonna wanna shift that expectation, lol.
DIXON IS WAY BETTER THAN ROSCOE!! Your saying him sleeping with dixon was not a necessary part to the show?? By that logic, Sleeping with Roscoe was not a necessary part to season one!!
Gee, if you don't want main characters to ever be allowed intimacy again, you really must stay away from the James Bond movies. Edit: someone else also made the same comparison.
@@cinemawithstephhow could you not, what gave you the impression in S1 that reacher was gonna stay w Roscoe & or stay in one place long enough for a relationship. They say goodbye at the end of S1 & reacher leaves the city lmao not to mention every other piece of dialogue, yt comments, exposition explaining how reacher is & how he lives Not even tryna be a dick but Ik nothing ab reacher when I watched season 1 & I understood that very clearly
@@cinemawithsteph To be fair, unlike James Bond Reacher doesn't necessarily have a love interest in each book, so my analogy doesn't really work. Looking forward to your next reaction video
It has bee 2 yrs. and 7mos. I believe most ladies would say Reacher is a good-looking man, do you honestly believe he has been celibate that whole time? (Lol)
Hey, I get it. I'm on team Rosco as well, mostly because it seems like she and Reacher had a deeper connection. They had that hotel scene where he slept on the floor and they talked about family. So far with Dixon, who I also like, it feels more of a physical attraction. I haven't read the books so I'm just enjoying the show for what it is, as it develops. I do think that if you had watched the first season in real-time, you might not be stuck on Reacher and Rosco, because so much time had passed between seasons. Great reaction as always though.
Like the comment above said, reacher & Dixon knew each other closely for YEARS wtf are you talking ab? Reacher knew Roscoe for what? A week? Lmao, don’t try to give me no “they lived a million days in that week” bc that’s just complete bullshit The shit reacher did w Roscoe for a week, reacher did w Dixon & the rest of the team as a job for years, minus sleeping w Dixon bc he didn’t do that at the time, despite the fact they both wanted to. That’s a relationship that’s been building & boiling for years waiting to go to the next level. I’ve dated 1 or 2 women I liked like reacher liked roscoe (from what we’re shown in the show) but something hits a LOT harder & different when your w/ a woman you’ve been after in one way or another for years
“Discussion” section update: IMDB now has his name listed as Franz and not Frances lol
His name is definitely Franz, Calvin Franz. They'll call him Franzy for a nickname.
Probably just a little mistake, bc Neagley's first name is Frances
Steph it's been years since Rosco.
He's been hitch hiking around, and staying with people who picked him up.
I'm more than sure several of those who picked him up were women.
After all he's easy on the eyes, is built like a Greek God.
So there were several women Reacher slept with before this episode.
I am not mad but am rather thoroughly enjoying your discomfort with the Reacher/Dixon situation. lol It's your honest reactions that makes it fun to watch. Keep up the good work.
I liked the fact that she is obsessed with Roscoe and takes it personally whenever Reacher has his moments with dixon😂
This whole Dixon/Roscoe thing is hilarious to me 😂 but I get it. You get attached to certain characters/relationships and it’s difficult to detach yourself from them.
2 years, 7 months, 13 days. Dixon had a pre-existing 'claim'...
As big of a fan of Roscoe as I was... Dixon's the better choice honestly lol
Watching your emotional gymnastics over the Dixon hook up was hilarious. Look at it this way. Reacher keeps a social distance between most of the people he comes across. There was a connection with Dixon that went back to when they were working together and that curiosity and attraction to her, especially when their friends are getting killed off, would drive them together for a sense of reconnection if anything.

Going by episode 4, they are somewhat more nostalgic in the show than in the books.
You gotta get over the Dixon issue Steph lol. Its been 2 years 7 months and like 2 weeks since Rosco (I still miss her too).
Plus technically Dixon saw Reacher first
Thank you! 😂
Counting cards if you remember every card that has been played in a deck that you can make a bet on the card that's coming next because you know the cards that are left you have to have an exceptional memory
Come on Steph, give the guy a break, it's been more than two years! 💁♂️ Anyway it's still super fun watching with you and enjoying your reactions. 😊
I hate to break this to you Steph, but every book takes place in a different town, with a different woman by his side helping with the investigation/fight.
Outside of Neagley, the only women that appear in more than one book are Dixon(who also appears in prequel novels)Jodi Garber (The daughter of his former C.O.) in books 3 and 4, Susan Turner(voice on the phone in book 14, they meet in book 18), and Michelle Chang(books 20 and 22, and he has just left her at the beginning of 22).
Time line wise we are already past Jodi Garber, and Susan Turner was already in the Tom Cruise Movie "Never Go Back".
Reacher is not just the reason his crew can't have nice things. He's also the reason Steph can't have nice
You gotta remember it's been over 2 years since Roscoe. Cut our man some slack, that's a long time.
I am loving your absolute commitment to Roscoe. It cracks me up. Love it. 🤣
Robert Patrick is such a fantastic villain.
Roscoe was 2 years in the past. Reacher is looking ahead.
Season 1 was a week and a half and 2 years ago in their timeline lol
Reacher is alone alot. He liked Roscoe alot but its been 2 years and you know he still has that clark bar wrapper with her number on it or he memorized the number. Dixon was an old crush that is now back in his life while working a case. And he likes dixon and oddly both dixon and Roscoe are the same type of woman. So reacher could have saw dixon in roscoe. I also know that this is a show with fan service while still showing respect to the creater so who knows Roscoe might show up again
I absolutely loved your reaction. It had me laughing pretty much the entire time. Lol youre facial expressions of disapproval were great. Keep the reactions coming gorgeous.
I'm only halfway in and I am loving the 'BUT THAT IS NOT ROSCOE!' attitude... I completely feel ya on that. I'm not going to exhaust the usual argument of, 'but in the Reacher books, yadayada.' Honestly, the first season was like casting you as Roscoe. Why would anyone want to see anyone else as the 'Reacher's female interest when Roscoe was so dang perfect?'
ERM... anywho (*blushes*). I'll continue watching the reaction now.
It's not cement, it's concrete, which portland cement is an ingredient of... in an investigation details matter😂😂😂, 😞 I'm so sorry, I couldn't resist 😊❤🇨🇦
For you, it was like...last week for Roscoe. Still found it hilarious when were like, "I hope I'm wrong" and me laughing knowing you won't have long to wait. Like...15 minutes.
Anyone mad that you're mad Steph doesn't know how emotionally territorial women are, it makes perfect sense. Shipping people started with women.
This is definitely a grittier season so get ready for the ride!
Reacher doesn’t want a home. He doesn’t want to stay anywhere permanently. He would have been happy with Roscoe if she wanted to travel with him. But she wanted to stay in her home town of Margrave
Well, in the book, Reacher starts actually questioning his lifestyle choice. Neagly is successful. Dixon is working big cases with a big salary. O'Donnell has a family while doing work for big money. This puts him into an existential crisis in the book... a minor one... but one nonetheless.
@@mgass1354 perhaps but not in book one which season one was based on
@@GentleGiantJason
No, this is from the book which season 2 is based on, Bad Luck and Trouble, hence my mentioning of Dixon and O'Donnell in addition to Neagly.
@@mgass1354 my comment was about Roscoe and why he left her. Nothing about season two
It’s not much of a SPOILER to note that in one book Reacher inherited a house, but it didn’t last.
I understand your position. You want the Rasco Reacher romance. The man being loyal to his love. But in the books last season was the 1st book this is around the 9th book. Which is why Reacher tells Neadly that it's been two years nine months and fourteen days since then.
Reacher is SINGLE!
He was cementing a relationship!
😂😂😂
Reacher and Roscoe have gone their separate ways.
"Is that possible?" - I now have the funny thought of people running up and down their streets kicking car fronts to make the airbag pop out. :D
You gotta get over the Roscoe thing. She's not his one and only, she's just the first one you saw. Also, he hasn't seen or even spoken to her in over 2.5 years. If you watched Reacher's life chronologically you might have been telling Roscoe to get her hands off Dixon's man.
Some people get attached to easily lol it’s funny
While I agree, I too think it's fun just to see people have their own preferences😅 I say let them get used to it at their own pace. At this point in the show I didn't feel anything for Dixon either to be honest.
@@justjdnl fyi I’m not hating on her at all lol, I’m autistic so maybe I just cant grasp why she has a strong hatred for Dixon
@@Failingatlife69 Oh I was moreso responding to the original comment/poster. But as someone who is autistic as well I get what you're saying. But the way I see it Steph simply enjoyed the chemistry between Reacher and Roscoe a lot and from a romantic perspective wanted to see it progress, not replaced. Mind you she wasn't aware what kind of character Reacher was and how the show would depict his romances.
@@justjdnl that’s why personal I would read the books before watching the show. I’ve literally read them all and am so glad they are getting the love they deserve
For the ppl that have watched smallville, y'all know😏😏, i love that each season so far had like a small reunion of Alan with other Smallville actors.
Don't expect Roscoe anymore! She'll never come back! 😂
Yeah, Roscoe was pretty sweet. Meanwhile, "counting cards" means counting the cards played and then calculating the probabilities of the next cards coming to play. As the deck nears being played out, one's guesses at the next play become higher, so the player gets an advantage. This is difficult to do, but there are a few people who manage.
Really enjoying your reaction to this series as always, and looking forward to seeing it unfold!
I'm fairly sure at one point it would have been possible to trigger an airbag like that if you knew where the sensor was, but modern ones use accelerometers to gauge the force of an impact, and usually also require the vehicle to be turned on; which admittedly we can't rule out based on what we see in the episode. Given where he kicked the car and the age of it I'd say it's virtually guaranteed that that would never happen in real life. It makes a cool scene though.
Counting cards is a blackjack strategy where you track how many high value cards have been removed from the dealer's stack which allows you to make inferences based on the percentage of high value cards left to be dealt. If you know, for example, that all of the 10s and jacks, and half of the queens and kings have already been dealt, you know there is a lower chance of any future card busting your hand by taking you over the target of 21. The longer you play, the better idea you have of what's left. It's a slim advantage, but over time it's enough to outweigh the casino's built in margin. It's not illegal if you don't use mechanical or external assistance to keep track, but casinos have the right to stop any guest from playing any game at any time. They also counter the strategy somewhat by using multiple decks shuffled together, and replacing them regularly.
P.S. The DIxon sass is hilarious! XD
Lmao! I love your reaction. You crack me up. My opinion is that this season shows a more vulnerable side of Reacher, which is why he seems a tad off from last season, because his old unit knows him and they have grown in their lives out of service. With them all being awesome I think he has pressure to still be impressive which he’ll always be in their eyes. Just my opinion.
Lmao your frustration with the inevitable (Reacher and Karla) is hilarious and you should get used to Reacher having multiple uh...partners.
Roscoe was left behind in time, between the events of the first season and this one, nearly three years have passed.
Once again, I agree with You Steph! I couldn't get behind Reacher & Dixon! I LOVED his connection with Roscoe!
Couldn't even wait for the end of the video.... Immediately, you hit on it.
Question: "Is that possible?"
Answer: "Reacher."
You know this is more than two years after a woman he did not keep tabs with.
Glad you're back, Russo actor is one of my favorites, good in several series. First in 2011 Breakout Kings, then Ray Donovan as cop Sean McGrath, 10 episodes in last series of it. Then in one of favorites, Power, Billions, the Marvelous Mrs . Maisel and this! Name is Dominick Lombardozzi. He's in 2023 movie from Netflix Reptile, with Benicio del Toro, Eric Bogosian and Michael Pitt.
The show is called “Reacher” not “Roscoe.” 🤣 He’s Sherlock Homeless, a drifter who solves mysteries. If you get too attached to other characters, you’re destined for disappointment.
I’m realizing that, yet also rejecting it 😂
Well, in the books, he's more like House. Smart, yes, but gets things wrong as much as right, figuring it out in the end. The series? He's Holmes on steroids due to the time constraint.
Cant say I agree with Reacher being abstinent the rest of his life but I still love your investment into the show.
I love your reaction.., you’re so darn cute when you’re mad.. such a romantic.. the next two episodes are great ..
Even Lee Child, the OG author, was let down that Roscoe wasn't in Season 2. You're in the same boat as the author and millions of fans. We hear you.
Plus, Roscoe prioritized rebuilding Margrave over Reacher, so she needs time for that. With the years that's gone by and the fan demand, Season 3 has a bigger chance of bringing her back.
Happy holidays, Steph! 🎄
Happy holidays!
Top tier eye-rolls
I understand your gripe, for us it's been months but for you, you only just got over Roscoe.
love the reaction every time they flirt, lol
It’s been 2 and a half years. I think you need to let Roscoe go, lol!
An answer about counting cards: There are some individuals that are able to know what cards will pop up during any kind of card game. Dixon was saying "I can stay comfortably knowing your third card will bust you" to the dealer because she knew that the third card would be a high number. Therefore the dealer lost. In a casino counting cards is not tolerated as you could win a lot of money doing it. Essentially it is cheating at most card games.
That is…. Pretty inaccurate…
It’s not cheating by any definitions of the word, because you are not using any information that isn’t available to everyone else.
Also, a card counter wouldn’t *know* what the next card would be, they would simply know the odds (roughly or exactly) of any given group of card values would be to appear next.
Lastly, card counting is only really a strategy in Blackjack. For most other card games (casino or otherwise), it doesn’t really do anything special…
@@Whiskypapa Ask any casino. Card counting is considered cheating. It is not tolerated *at all*
@@Skrulzie What casinos tolerate or not doesn’t mean shit. It’s not cheating. Just because they don’t like that one of their most popular games has a glaring error that makes it go from in their favour to in the player’s favour, doesn’t mean they get to dictate the definition of cheating.
What the casinos can and can’t do about it differ from place to place and county to county, depending on laws.
But I’ve never heard about anyone ever being arrested and convicted for card counting. Meanwhile, there’s many examples of people being arrested for actual cheating, like rigging machines, match fixing, etc…
@@Whiskypapa "Card counting is legal despite widespread assumptions. Mentally tracking the cards breaks no rules or laws of the country. However, casinos consider this as unlawful and a form of cheating. It's an advantage move that reduces the casino's mathematical advantage over players."
I am stepping out of this argument as trying to argue with someone who does not read is incredibly infuriating. *EVERY CASINO EVER BANS CARD COUNTING*
It is a literal fact and so many sources throughout Google will tell you the same thing I said. Having any sort of advantage over other players/dealers is considered cheating. *period*
17:31 Roscoe is a first name, Orozco a last name. 😁
His name is definitely Franz
It's been 2 years since he spent a week with Roscoe, and he spent years with Dixon! If anything, Roscoe was the distraction, an adorable and smart one I grant you! Or maybe it's because I'm a fan of Serinda Swan ever since Breakout Kings (which she was in with Finlay surprisingly enough)
Roscoe was also built up considerably from her characterization in the book. Good thing about a multi-part series; usually movies have to leave much of a novel out or give it short shrift, but here they can add details.
@@jonathanroberts8981 Yeah, and as such I understand the attachment, Willa killed the role and the romance felt believeable, but also had an undertone of fleeting to it for me, in a 'they kept each other company and kept each other warm' and that's it kind of thing. Like a conversation on a bus, it can be wonderful, but once the destination is reached we split up again to never see one another again. I figured he doesn't really do attachments, considering he led the 110th for years and grew up with his brother yet was unaware where his brother was or what became of the 110 (In season 1). Reacher imo made it clear that Roscoe was a fling. Didn't know her last week, won't know her next week style.
Holy shit I had no clue Shea off breakout kings was Finlay. Wtf💀 I recognized serinda swan & domenick lombardozzi but not Malcom Goodwin😭 & same I’ve loved serinda swan ever since breakout kings, I love her in reacher.
Kinda shocking they have 3 main characters from breakout kings on reacher, I love it, glad they’re all still acting & getting good roles
*twin middle finger* 😍😂😍😂
It's been over 2 yrs since he and Roscoe were together
"Let me be wrong about this"...
Yeah... you aren't wrong, Steph. Dixon and Reacher were hot for each other from day 1. He was her commanding officer, so, yeah, that wasn't happening at the time.
And it's good that you're binging because... well... you'll see. What I CAN say is that they are not just adapting the books, they are re-writing the book's story.
So, Dixon. She is BIG into numbers. It's why Reacher pulled her onto the team in the first place. That's how she can count cards, ie, she remembers which cards were played and then uses statistics for the odds of each other not used card to be played.
And saying what they've changed is basically pointless (the construction yard scene was changed from the book) because the show writers are re-writing the books.
"Why must they do this..."
Well, because Reacher is written from a "here's a manly man hero for you to read about" standpoint. So, you get a hot hunky guy that all the women are just wanting to strap on for a night or two, who unless there is some moral or ethical reason not to, is going to hop on that train too. That's the reason. Each book is the same way. But, the series put Neagly into the first season when she wasn't in the book, so, they are re-writing the books to incorporate new things.
Oh well, I'm the type of guy who will never settle down
Where pretty girls are well, you know that I'm around
I kiss 'em and I love 'em 'cause to me they're all the same
I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em, they don't even know my name
They call me the wanderer
Yeah, the wanderer
I roam around, around, around
That's Reacher
11:11 sorry. 15:20. sorry sorry. LOL
I think anyone can ask, not many would get😆. Hello 👋🏻.
I understand that Reacher and Dixon have a baby girl and they name her Roscoe.
What makes you think Roscoe hasn't moved on? Two years is a long time.
It’s been 2.5 years since Roscoe. He can move on after that large of time
Great review!
Wow, I think an appropriate new tag line for your channel-
"You Don't Mess w/ Steph the true Romantic"...
As I watched the 3 releases, it was this is not near as much fun as watching along with you, and felt almost like cheating with out your commentary.
All the best,
M-
Love your Reaction to this youre hilarious in my opinion i dont think youll get in trouble for cursing on here and giving the double middle fingers ya rock keep it up i look forward to seeing your next reaction
I love how pissed u are cause of dickson and reacher ahahaha😂😂😂
Poor Steph. 😂 I’ve been reading the books for years, so never got that attached to any one woman. But to be fair, Dixon and Reacher had a much longer and deeper relationship before they finally hooked up… Roscoe was much more of a ships-in-the-night quickie in that light. 😂 Gonna have to let it go. 🤷🏻♂️
In the books, he wasn’t celibate in the time between those two women.
l had told you so many times that Reacher is a drifter, he never stays more than a few days on any place. He is always traveling. He doesn't like to come back to any city or town visited previously. But they can alter the story line on a tv show, so they are making little changes already, and you will see someone from Margrave on episode 4 that wasn't supposed to be here now. So maybe they make Roscoe return in the near future, but l am not sure that's going to happen on this season. Maybe in season 3.
They are already filming season 3 of Reacher. There's 26 books, so they have a lot of material to choose. Any book is different from the other, only thing that doesn't change is Reacher.
I am so sorry that you have an ISSUE with Dixon now. But, to make it a little better, they introduced the problem early, so you could get passed it. Last season they made us wait 4 shows. This season was only 1. (she was just introduced) Plus, I'd bet that he hasn't had any since Roscoe. And, I bet neither one of them are bothered by it. But, we shall see I guess. Plus, you are just as hooked on this show as we are. LOL Nice Post, and thx for sharing your reactions with us.
Steph, it might be easier if you thought of Reacher as a kind of American James Bond...
This! It’s definitely the impression I’ve gotten from the comments. Problem is I went in not knowing that, and now I’m team Roscoe no matter what 😂
It might be easier if she grew up. Roscoe is awesome, but she’s the first love interest we were introduced to that Reacher knew for about a week 2 years prior to this season. A guy that roams the country and looks like that is supposed to be faithful to a chick he barely knows!?
@@gchild1286legit they hung out for a week, hooked up once & haven’t talked in 2 + years lmao. I hooked up w some women in college that now, 3 years later I can’t even remember their names lmao reacher & Roscoe had a deeper bond from collectively taking down the criminal organization in S1 but again I’ve forgotten the names of some women I knew better than reacher knew Roscoe lol
when I tell you I HORSE LAUGHED every time you disapproved of Dixon and Reacher flirting, i am not BSing. I obviously get it because i loved roscoe but apparently Reacher is like James Bond with his women.
it's been two years from the last season. allow him to move on😅
Steph, nothing wrong with your reading an action piece like a romance. They can share elements. Realistically, though, Reacher & Roscoe split over two years before, and clearly. Why should romance works not explore such things, given that they happen so much?
Serious question. How long should he be celibate? It's been 2 years+ since his affair with Roscoe. If they had been together, either longtime commitment or marriage, and she had died, how long should he wait before finding companionship with another woman? Do you think Roscoe would want him to live a life of celibacy? Love your reactions! Can't wait for the next two, those that have been released.
From hooking up once? He could sleep w a new woman the next night after he left margrave & itd be acceptable. They slept together once, aren’t dating, he’s leaving town to who knows when or if he ever comes back. I mean cmon
You crack me up! Just luv ya! But c'mon...it's been 2-1/2 years since Roscoe. She's probably married with her own kid(s) by now.
ok steph. this is a funny analysis for me, from my detective Colombo POV. are you actually predicting Dixon death purely based on intuition or are you just wishing it should occur for Reacher to fall into the arms of Rosco?
the clash between your romantic bias and your logical thinking is fascinating. I am very curious about making sense of it all. either way, I'm loving the reactions, keep up the great work.
Honestly I don’t think there’s much to make sense of 😂 Not because I dislike her, I just genuinely feel like Dixon will end up dying. I have no actual reason to back it up, just a hunch of sorts. I’ll always want Reacher with Roscoe, and everyone can tell me it will never happen and that may be true, but I’ll still ship it anyways 😂
i couldn't agree more with everything you just said. the truth is my interest lies in the fact that two people highly intelligent watching the same show get affected in such an incredibly different way. without the romance and your POV, the show would only be half as good frankly. @@cinemawithsteph
@@cinemawithstephwe’ll see how your opinion develops as the show goes on . A lot of ppl talk big talk then change their opinions months later
Great reaction like always, you cant be attached to any characters from the previous season that you know, from the books the only character that appear often is Finlay but the others are never the same, i understand your point of view but please see this with a open mind. keep up the good work
I'm sorry, but your anti-Dixon stance is just.... too funny! I know its gonna be a highlight for me this whole season .
She just wants Reacher all for herself lmao
I’m glad you think so 😂 I was concerned I’d make people mad
@@cinemawithsteph
Nah... it's funny, actually.
@@cazper420 Can you blame her?
@@cinemawithsteph Absolutely not. This is your reaction. Feel how you feel. If people get mad, they can bounce.
I'm big on romance novels and movies myself. I'm a very proud Hallmark romance fan. I've written a movie for them. So, I get it. I start shipping couples immediately, so, yeah... the Roscoe thing does sting. For me, it was alleviated by the casting of Serinda Swan. I've loved her since Smallville. Love Alan Ritchson since then as well.
In case you haven't noticed, we're not in a fairytale forest here. It is perfectly normal for people who are not in a relationship to find another partner after 2 years after a short relationship.
I bet Rosco didn't wait for Prince Reacher in her fairytale tower and hope that he would stay chaste, and she certainly didn't put on metal panties with a lock either.
So maybe we'll get over the topic now.
First off all, calm down. There's nothing wrong with shipping the main character with one specific other character, even though the show won't take that route. She already stated she accepts what direction they're going with-she doesn't have to like it. It's merely her own preference, and we all have those.
This shift in "romance" is not taking away her actual enjoyment of the show itself nor her focus on the story. And I think she finds it more than normal for people to sleep around-again, she was just emotionally invested and appreciated the connection Reacher established with Roscoe.
It's not that hard to be patient and let the viewer adjust to the tone of the show or character.
@@justjdnl It's interesting that you think you can judge my feelings. No big surprise that you can't, because I was never upset. I think your imagination is a bit excessive. A bit neurotic.
@@TomTomson81 Excessive imagination and neurotic? I'm not the one talking about fairytale forests, metal panties, feeling the need to express what is normal in a relationship (when it seems clear nobody has issues with the concept itself), and wanting get over the topic of Roscoe.
But hey I'm good and apparently you are too.
@@justjdnl I judge what I actually see and describe it in a flowery context. You, on the other hand, imagine things on the basis of a text and adjust it according to your imagination. You can't even tell the difference. I would suggest educating yourself a bit before making comparisons in a psychological context, before you make yourself even more ridiculous.
@@TomTomson81 ouch, sure man
Frances is actually Neagley's first name. Franzy is the nickname for Calvin Franz. I really like your reactions but you really have to get past the Roscoe thing. Reacher has a "female friend" in almost every story (more or less).
Reachers true love is Jodie Garber, his old commanders daughter. Everyone else is just filler.
The Roscoe thing is weird to me. He knew her for like a week 2.5 years prior….
Just found your channel your pretty😊
"mess with" is not exactly how the phrase. Use your imagination.
I can not wait for her to make it ep4 ahhhh
Now I’m dreading it 🥺
@@cinemawithsteph I promise you, you will love it.
Sorry for the soiler. Relationship and Reacher!? You definitely haven't read the series.
I liked roscoe but Dixon is ugh 😍 she is also canadian so she is my people!!
Serinda swan is sexy af, loved her since the show breakout kings
Your reaction to Reacher and Dixon is partly tainted by the fact that you've watched season 1 quite recently. That being said, as being discussed in episode 1 "it's been 2 years X months etc". I'm quite certain that that was mentioned to make 'it ok' for Reacher to be with Dixon after Roscoe.
Though I think the Roscoe Reacher relation had more chemistry.
I mean until Reacher says to Dixon the equivalent of "if anyone would want to make me stay next to the campfire it would be you" then more than likely it's just sexual attraction, it's possible that Roscoe can be his "one true love" and have reacher still sleep with new people each season
You need to chill over the Dixon/Reacher relationship. It was on the burner before Roscoe, and it's been two years since hesaw Roscoe.
I meeaaaan it's not just that it's an action show. James Bond is an action series and he still gets with a different lady every entry save one or two - so it's not that action is necessarily bereft of romance. Now Reacher isn't James Bond not by way of character or series vibe so he doesn't get with a different woman every book BUT he is a solitary dude who does nothing but wander so if you're set in this idea that he has a One And Only True Love you're gonna have a bad time. I know it's been a few months for you if that, but it's been over two years for him.
Not that your reaction isn't entertaining for us, we're laughing - but if you wanna save yourself pain assuming this series keeps going, you're gonna wanna shift that expectation, lol.
😢😢😢😢😢
DIXON IS WAY BETTER THAN ROSCOE!!
Your saying him sleeping with dixon was not a necessary part to the show??
By that logic, Sleeping with Roscoe was not a necessary part to season one!!
Dixon, met Reacher first
Gee, if you don't want main characters to ever be allowed intimacy again, you really must stay away from the James Bond movies. Edit: someone else also made the same comparison.
That would be different for me because I already know that going into it. I had no idea that was Reacher’s thing lol
@@cinemawithstephhow could you not, what gave you the impression in S1 that reacher was gonna stay w Roscoe & or stay in one place long enough for a relationship. They say goodbye at the end of S1 & reacher leaves the city lmao not to mention every other piece of dialogue, yt comments, exposition explaining how reacher is & how he lives
Not even tryna be a dick but Ik nothing ab reacher when I watched season 1 & I understood that very clearly
@@cinemawithsteph To be fair, unlike James Bond Reacher doesn't necessarily have a love interest in each book, so my analogy doesn't really work. Looking forward to your next reaction video
Hey Steph, at least Serinda Swan is a beautiful CANADIAN actress 😊🤷😅❤
It has bee 2 yrs. and 7mos. I believe most ladies would say Reacher is a good-looking man, do you honestly believe he has been celibate that whole time? (Lol)
Dixon is cool Roscoe was just a fling
You need to get over Rosco. Reacher doesn't settle down. Don't get attached to any of the love interests.
It’s perfectly understandable Steph, how can you watch your man hookup with another woman 🙄 ugh
lmaoo
I love your reaction but let it go with regards to Dixon.
Hey, I get it. I'm on team Rosco as well, mostly because it seems like she and Reacher had a deeper connection. They had that hotel scene where he slept on the floor and they talked about family. So far with Dixon, who I also like, it feels more of a physical attraction. I haven't read the books so I'm just enjoying the show for what it is, as it develops. I do think that if you had watched the first season in real-time, you might not be stuck on Reacher and Rosco, because so much time had passed between seasons. Great reaction as always though.
They have more of a personal connection than roscoe. Literally known each other for years 🤦♀️
Like the comment above said, reacher & Dixon knew each other closely for YEARS wtf are you talking ab? Reacher knew Roscoe for what? A week? Lmao, don’t try to give me no “they lived a million days in that week” bc that’s just complete bullshit
The shit reacher did w Roscoe for a week, reacher did w Dixon & the rest of the team as a job for years, minus sleeping w Dixon bc he didn’t do that at the time, despite the fact they both wanted to. That’s a relationship that’s been building & boiling for years waiting to go to the next level.
I’ve dated 1 or 2 women I liked like reacher liked roscoe (from what we’re shown in the show) but something hits a LOT harder & different when your w/ a woman you’ve been after in one way or another for years
