General lack of minding P's and Q's that really didn't sit well with me:Only Murders In The Building, Se2 Ep7
Like I don't f**king know A Chorus Line.............. (I'm like 75% convinced that moment was either unscripted, or at least wasn't known ahead of time to Martin and Martin. Thought that was excellent, no notes.)Okay, I did not see that coming.
Glitter Man had their backpack slung over their right shoulder, which implies left-handedness. They're also taller than average....... is Michael Rapaport left-handed? A NYPD cop could moonlight as an amusement park security guard where the employee locker room would be more or less vacant space during winter, and potentially also have the connections to make a blocks-wide blackout happen, and also have access to the Trio's phone numbers to be texting them.
(Speaking of Coney Island...... I wonder if powering things up for Theo's ankle LoJack also activated the security cameras.........)
Whoever the button man is, it leaves open the question of motive. In the first scene we meet him, Rapaport's cop even goes so far as to call the case something that will make his career, and what would be more of a slam dunk than framing a high-profile suspect? But what's the connection to the Rose Cooper painting? How does Lucy figure into all this? I rewatched scene in Ep 4 where Charles puts Lucy in the car ("No detours") where Glitter Man took the photo, but the only other person who's really in the scene is the car driver, who is anonymous afaik, and the camera's from a position that looks like it's either the BMW parked behind or maybe even a car across the street.
Mabel's long talk in the car with Theo. C'mon guys. He's already established he only picks up 1/3 of lip-reading dialogue, and now he's driving, meaning he has to split focus be a sideways-turned Mabel, and also watching the road, which is even more crucial since deaf-driving requires even more vigilance. And with all that, he somehow catches all the relevant details (and doesn't seem to look at the road once). This is minutes after he says he didn't understand anything Mabel was telling him by the Claw machine, and that's when he's looking right at her face and not operating a vehicle.
That's just sloppy/lazy whatever you want to call it. I can't focus on what Mabel's saying in the car because of the sheer implausibility of the situation, so I'm now completely taken out of it. Also, I don't think you'd immediately lose cell service in a blackout, but that's small peanuts compared to the car scene.
