driver Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Pretty sure Barney Fife was the most haunted, tortured character out there. Just picture Constable Bob with a meth addiction and repressed memories of a horrific childhood. There was a reason he carried only one bullet, and it wasn't because he was incompetent with his weapon, it's because he was always on the verge of eating his service revolver muzzle first. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Execproducer Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 The reason he only had one bullet is because he had a bad habit of discharging his weapon every time he holstered it, but that doesn't mean you're wrong. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 His Dark Materials looks awesome. It looks way more SciFi than I remember and I hope it winds up being better than the third book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude seemed to revel in being an evil piece of shit, had no qualms about it, looked to go legit, and found that wasn't the life for him. That's not exactly tortured. He's just a bad dude. The question was "biggest monster on TV" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about it, Lester Freamon might be more tortured that McNulty. He spent years of his career basically sat in a cupboard and ordered not to work - to the point that when the Major Crimes Unit first started, he was so cynical and apathetic that he spent weeks not getting involved with the case at all, just sitting at his desk making Dollhouse furniture. And when he eventually gets back in the game, he only has the MCU for a couple of years before he gets fired from the police entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Lester ain’t tortured. He didn’t get everything he wanted out of the job, but he has a healthy home life and a fruitful hobby. He’s fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a divorcee and not a widower, but I can totally relate to Walter's character's awkwardness and fears about returning to single life. I await the inevitable episode where he starts dating a hot soccer mom who also has kids. It should be hilarious. Been there, done that. Hasn't ended yet since I am now ten years into my current relationship. We've thought about getting married but her ex-husband's retirement check really comes in handy right now.

I also can't tell if Goggins got hair plugs or is on some kind of hair regrowth drug or what. In any event, dude is always working. He has this, that Invincible TV series, Righteous Gemstones, Deep State, and whatever movies he's doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be canned before the first batch of episodes have all aired. I'm getting "video unavailable" on The Unicorn. Probably for the best.

piranesi Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) My wife has been watching CSI (neither one of us watched it though I was ob-sessed with CSI Miami for awhile just for the audacious insanity of every aspect of it). For awhile I was not that impressed...just a competent procedural with fantasy elements and a very "scare old people" view of the world (Hello, CBS!). But they just hit the episode where a member of a sequestered jury is murdered by someone else on the jury and I think I'm now on board. I'm not a person who likes human beings very much and I tend to have a very pessimistic view of humanity...and they basically used this as an excuse to create a jury where every single person was a different brand of spiteful, lazy, gluttonnish, insane asshole. It's like a trading card deck of every variety of scum on earth. I am genuinely loving listening to this over her shoulder while pretending not to be into it. I think this is one slight difference between the worlds of the two main CSIs. On CSI MIAMI the world is strictly divided into pure assholes and pure perfect hero/victims. On Regular CSI the pure perfect hero victims are very rare and pretty much every human outside of the CSI squad is a scumbag and/or maniac. Realizing this, and pretending how much fun it would be in a writer's room to just write scumbag after scumbag week after week is giving me a renewed interest in this show. Update: Their kind of blowing this by even having a B story. It's really boring. They should have dumped that convention when they have a concept so delicious as asshole murder jury.
