Night Court: The New Judge (1986)
Disappointing but not surprising
First off, when Jeff Altman initially displayed his revolver, I was tempted to stop watching. And when he pulled the revolver on Mac. And when he was cleaning a presumably loaded revolver with a Q-tip.
It obviously mocks the notion of a judge who has been attacked actually carrying a firearm for self-defense. Of course, it shows that gun carriers know nothing about firearm safety. Sigh.
I have very low expectations for the support of firearms ownership from Left wing writers (aka almost all TV shows). Even the typically armed court bailiffs don't seem to be armed. Seriously?
The sting story line was entertaining, though.
Psych: Santabarbaratown 2 (2013)
Very disappointing
Someone has already commented that the Shawn in the episode if not the Shawn to date.
He wasn't this "off" when his mom was targeted by Mr. Yin and had a bomb on her person, so why this time when his dad is through surgery.
My big nit to pick is the depiction of firearms and their uses. It is rare that firearms are handled properly in entertainment productions. Although we do see Carlton and Juliet with their fingers off of the triggers, we also see cops "sweeping" others with their muzzles.
When Lassiter finds Shawn and Gus in Jerry's house, we hear the sound of a hammer being cocked. Someone with Carlton's expertise in handling firearms would not carry a 1911-style pistol with a round in the chamber and the hammer down (condition 2). His finger is off of the trigger, at least.
Is there anyway that Carlton can determine that the land mine is not functional? Apparently not, as it is planted at the Psych office and it is live.
We find that Shawn steals one of Jerry's pistols and carries it without a license.
The firing range has an "offensive" logo--not so much a thing back in 2012.
There is nothing that the men at the range could do as far as switching parts that would make the guns "untraceable".
Shawn says that the bolt-action is too old and he asks for a semi-auto weapon. He's handed a full-auto rifle (a _real_ assault rifle and no range safety officer is within arm's reach. (I have rented full-auto and someone has always been right behind me in the event that things start to get out of hand.) So, Shawn takes things out of hand and there is significant unsafe handling before anyone intervenes. More typical stereotyping of gun users.
When the FBI agent catches the lads in the warehouse, he cocks the hammer on his SIG 226 unnecessarily. That pistol can be fired double action (just by pressing the trigger) and the FBI would have trained their agents to use the pistol in that manner.
I'm done with my rant. Thanks for reading.
Psych: Romeo and Juliet and Juliet (2010)
Lame
A disappointing season opener. The story was weak. Having Henry rejoin SBPD to be "in charge" of his son an Gus has a long way to go to be purposeful.
Psych: Murder?... Anyone?... Anyone?... Bueller? (2008)
They have done better.
The writing seems drawn out. While there is typically superfluous side stories and scenes where Shawn is acting childish, there was too much here.
Maybe the absence of a flashback required filling the extra time.
Run Hide Fight (2020)
Well played, all.
The only reason that I gave a 9 instead of a 10 is that the story just seemed to end. I had questions about our amazing protagonist.
I won't add criticisms of specific plot points so as to avoid spoilers.
Worth watching,
