The Freak

I'm with Matt...because the stunts Fearless performs in the fourth act really do tax credulity a time or two, but Michelle Ashford opened his character to view for the first time so powerfully that from this episode onward, he's not just a very competent cop with great stories, he's a mensch. I can't say enough good things about this show, however there is a computer-generated necessity to pad my comment with a few more lines of text in order to accomplish the very thing I was hoping to avoid; running off at the mouth...again. Still too short?!

So while I'm at it, I might as well mention that in Episode 3, The Squeeze, the blood seen pouring from the bullet-holed cooler is inconsistent with the subsequent reveal when the cooler is opened showing no blood, whatsoever. I prefer to blame networks for mindless notes concerning bloodlessness in television, that Freaktown and Fearless were the sole surviving members of F-Troop (a corps within a squad), and that Fearless captured the distant sniper in deleted footage by going on and on about a .22 slug lodged near a vital organ in his butt since childhood. And now back to our regularly scheduled comment.
