The Player: Episode Five

Wesley Snipes, it’s so good to see you back on the screen:

Oh, look who’s wearing an Apple Watch:

Let’s use the WABAC Machine to find out how long she’s had that …

First episode, no Apple Watch:

Second episode, possible Apple Watch:

Third episode, Apple Watch:

Fourth episode, impossible to tell because her sleeves were very long the entire episode:

So, she’s had it and I didn’t see it until this episode. It was the MacBook Air in this episode that made me see it finally:

A big win for Apple Product Placement. Harumph.

The Pit Boss makes — ahem — house calls:

Never. Touch. The. Pit. Boss.

Holy shit. I think if the anti-TV violence groups of the 1970s and 1980s were still in effect, their members would be having strokes watching this series. Is anyone keeping count of the number of shots fired and people put down?

Point blank too:

Second house call:

No spoiler.

And what did Cassandra see?

It led up to a shocking episode ending …

… that I won’t spoil.

Again, the side stories were more interesting and exciting than the main story with the hacker geek.

I’m reallllly wondering if The Player will be like Doctor Who, with a new Player for the next season. There’s only so long they can keep that ending in, cough, play.

I still say the rest of you need to catch on to and catch up with this series.

Wesley Snipes alone is worth watching — not that everything else isn’t too!
