Title: Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency s1 e2
Post by: Grant Lamontagne on December 22, 2016, 02:58:37 AM
In the second episode of the Netflix series Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, Dirk Gently pulls out a SAK in the bridge scene.  He doesn't actually do anything with it other than pull out the blade and wave it around a bit, but it is clearly a 2-3 layer Victorinox.

Nice spot GMan  :salute: Saw it last week then promptly forgot  :facepalm: Although it bears no resemblance at all to the source material it's very enjoyable. Love the Holistic assassin.

Oddly enough, despite being a big fan of Douglas Adams, I have actually never read the books.

At least... not yet...

Oh yeah, and I hate Elijah Wood.

Watched ep01 the other night. Won't be going back to watch ep02. Not my cup of tea. Feels like another Dr Who to me. Plus, I too hate Elijah Wood (in most things).

I can't say as I was overly thrilled with it either, but it was watchable and Megan liked it so I'll see where it goes.  I think it appeals more to a certain age group that I'm not in and haven't been for years.

I have watched the whole first season, and loved it.
Its a lot better than the hitchikers guide to the galaxy movie was.

That's not saying a lot...

That wasn't a complete loss.  Marvin was absolutely spot on.  Warwick Davis and Alan Rickman pulled him off absolutely perfectly, and he was always my favorite character.

I can spoil the fact that Farah brings out what looks like a Rebar in the third or fourth episode.

I kind of liked the first season, especially the holistic assassin but Elijah Woods character was extremely irritating.
