  • But wasn’t Sherlock Holmes less of a “cop’s intuition” kind of detective and way more pure robotic logic? “If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, is the truth”. He was the kind to collect evidence and then see what that leads to without preconceptions, beyond what he can hear and observe.

    On the other hand, what OP is talking about are cops and detectives that have a feeling they know how is guilty due to instinct, experience, their gut, whatever you want to call it, and then do their best to track down evidence that proves that person is it. Columbo does this by picking up guilty vibes sometimes, I think they’ve done this in Brooklyn 99 where they have to prove someone did a crime and the tough part is proving it. This does happen in real life occasionally (I just read the book Killers of the Flower Moon, for example) but it also leads to cops relentlessly chasing the innocent too because the person has guilty vibes (i.e. They’re black or poor).






  • I’ve heard people call him that, probably mostly because of the western cinema thing.

    And I’m not far in Death Stranding 2, but it really seems to be setting up a story about how America super pinky promises it won’t do imperialism, but it creates rolling crises in other countries that only the imposition of US private corporations are prepared to “solve”, but that solution is actually just an exacerbation that permits the further spread of imperial monopoly control.

    If so, that’s amazing, and I would have to play it. Do you have to play Death Stranding 1 for it to make sense so far?
