Episode reaction: Walker 1.15

[caranfindel]

I don't know if anybody's in the mood to think about Walker today, but I need to talk about something other than {ahem} prequelgate, so let's just share some brief thoughts, not a whole recap.

• Walker's bar is open at breakfast? Is it a bar or a restaurant? I mean, it doesn't have a cook so it can't be a restaurant, right?



• I'm just stretching! (Oh yes you are, baby. Do it some more.)



• Augie discovers that all the girls like some h/c.



• Grandpa Walker would rather die than experience impotence, lack of desire, and rectal/bladder pain. Wuss. Gramma Walker doesn't care about any of that, since she can get her needs met elsewhere.



• Okay, I guess Connie isn't in HR, but she does clearly have a crush on Cordell. And who can blame her?



• Is this group leader the actress who played Kurt Russell's wife in Tombstone? Is she getting the money to pay for her laudanum?



• Oh, Citizen Cordell Walker, do not go breaking into people's houses. What evidence are you hoping to find four years later? What does the A/C being off have to do with anything? And don't park in the perp's house and casually go through her stuff. Also. Fingerprints. However, your lockpicking skills are giving me serious Sam Winchester feels, so I appreciate that. And I do like you hopping up after you look under the bed.



• Oh, look, Bela Talbott got a new show. (Yes, I'm watching through the app which means commercials.)



• Teenage drama. Don't care. But after the last few weeks it's nice that something is happening with Augie.



• "My addiction is breaking the rules" is almost as corny as "danger is my middle name." Oh, god, this whole scene with the victims dramatically walking in is just cringey.



• No, seriously, what's the deal with the A/C?



• Love these Pinterest-ready rustic distressed lockers.



• Liam, you need to decide on your facial hair situation. The scruff works for a hunter, not for a wannabe district attorney.



• Grandpa, you might be foolin' Gramma, but you are not fooling me for a second, Your reluctance has nothing to do with not wanting to take up her time and energy. It's all about your wiener. And maybe your bunghole.



• How convenient that Cordell is sitting by the fire with his bottle of whiskey and two glasses, just waiting for Micki and Liam to show up unexpectedly.

And that's it! Not much drama, and unlike real life {ahem}, no “The French Mistake” references this time…

Was it just me but was Jared's Cordell a lot less jerky and twitchy in this episode? I almost thought he felt relaxed (and if that's the case and it was a deliberate choice on Jared's part, maybe Cordell should think hard about going back to being a ranger). I'm still rolling my eyes about how WISE everyone is and how maturely they accept their failings and resolve everything in an episode. I mean, tie them all up in a nice pretty bow, please, CW.

But that music, argh. So awful and distracting.

Loving your recap/review/whatever-they-ares. I did not understand the AC significance either but also appreciated the bounciness of Cordell's press-up-spring off the floor. I appreciate those moves even more since I grew into a massive Covid pudding and now roll around like a Weeble when trying to get up off the floor (should I be unwise enough to get down there in the first place).

I never even notice his twitchiness. Apparently I’m the only one.

Nah, so far I've only found one other person who finds him twitchy. 😂
