Amazon’sReacheris lie with for its suspenseful crime plots and ruthless villains , but is less famous for its comedic head . That is n’t to sayReacherseason 1 lacked a common sense of liquid body substance . The script deliberately made ignitor of Reacher ’s enormous sizing , while his tit - for - tat verbal spar with Malcolm Goodwin ’s Finlay was as amusing as it was compelling . Nevertheless , only a brave few would have expectedReacherseason 2 to deliver laugh - out - forte meta comedy as early as its first episode .

Robert Patrick’s Reacher Character Hasn’t Heard Of “Sarah Connor”
Langston ’s chief strong-armer come up two hotel check - ins that he suspects are assumed name for Reacher and Neagley - Starlin Castro and Sarah Connor . Langston correctly identify Castro as the name of a far-famed Yankees player , confirming the moniker is in all likelihood phony , but when asked , " Who ’s Sarah Connor?“Reacherseason 2 ’s main villainresponds , " I do n’t give a sh*t . " Sarah Connor is , of form , the name of Linda Hamilton ’s character in theTerminatorfranchise , andTerminator 2 : Judgment Daysaw her run down by the liquid metal T-1000 , make for by one Robert Patrick . TheReacherseason 2 scene riffs on the fact that both Patrick characters - the T-1000 and Langston - are chasing after the main hero .
Patrick ’s deadpan delivery , compound with the surprisal factor of pick up such a bold real - world consultation in a grounded TV show likeReacher , makes theTerminatornod even comical . Langston ’s dismissal of who " Sarah Connor " might be conjures up genial look-alike of the scoundrel scrolling through his movie selection on a muted evening alone , coming acrossTerminator 2 , then hurriedly scroll by in search of something more interesting . At the same time , the notion thatTerminatorexists in a universe where Robert Patrick is a crooked security tribal chief for a major engineering company , rather than an actor , is enough to induce a worry .
Do Reacher & Neagley’s Aliases Create A Reacher Season 2 Plot Hole?
As funny asReacherseason 2’sTerminatorgag may be , it does risk creating a patch muddle . Both Reacher and Neagley are expert investigators and elites in their field . After discovering the listing of AM ’s many alias , Reacher even notes how keeping the same initials allows someone to avoid changing their touch , rise personal confidentiality is a divisor Reacher considers when choosing a false identity . It seems unusual , therefore , that Reacher and Neagley would check in under the names of a famous baseball instrumentalist and an iconic movie character , severally . These would - and , indeed , do - draw undesirable attending , and seem especially reckless considering hundred-and-tenth members are already neglect like tent-fly .
