Reacher Season-Finale Recap: Bash of the Titans


Maybe it was too much to expect the season to end with anything other than a colossal bloodbath.

In a late attempt to give the season greater stakes, Reacher intuited the last episode that Quinn’s Yemeni gun buyers were plotting to use their newly purchased cache of weapons to conduct a series of coordinated terror attacks. But a broken clock is right twice a day, and Reacher, a show that in its own way strives as mightily as Seinfeld once did to be About Nothing, is accidentally almost topical, if only because its writers opted not to invent some fictional Middle Eastern country as the point of origin for their late-appearing terrorists. The plotting has been so weak this season that I’m more interested in tucking into this concluding episode’s more granular choices, starting with this one: Reacher catches that truck driver who survived the ambush in the act of texting Quinn for help.
