Very good! He got into a right panic when the blind man (not the real blind man, not blind at all, a Columbo plant) began identifying him.Randall wrote:He knew the "witness" to the crime was blind.Rogg wrote:Alright then.

Re: THE TV SHOW THREAD - *** NO SPOILERS ***
Actress shoots her husband and tells Col that she was watching one of her old movies downstairs in their home theatre at the time of the murder, and insists that she never left the room. Her butler confirms that he set up the film reels for her, which are in a separate room, at 11pm, and played the movie, and that he saw her in there later still watching it when it finished at 1am.
So what's the problem with her alibi? Randall will say.

Re: THE TV SHOW THREAD - *** NO SPOILERS ***
Correct. He checked the length of the film (imdb obvs) and it was only 1h45, not 2h. He could see where she'd cut it to repair it, and he saw it only takes 3mins to repair a reel when he tricked her into demonstrating... which left 12mins she couldn't account for. Plenty of time to do the murder upstairs and return if you climb down the tree round the back. What about his dog!Randall wrote:The film played for too long, because when she got back from the deed the reel had broken and she repaired it.Rogg wrote:Actress shoots her husband and tells Col that she was watching one of her old movies downstairs in their home theatre at the time of the murder, and insists that she never left the room.

Re: THE TV SHOW THREAD - *** NO SPOILERS ***
The spy kills another one under the pier at night. He says he was in his office at the time of the murder, and can prove it with a voice recording of a speech that he was practising in there at the time. He actually made the recording the morning after the murder, and rolled his clock so it chimes 11 in the background on the tape. 11pm you see, the time of the murder.
But something on the tape gives away precisely when it was made and crashes his attempt at an alibi. What? A fucking idiotic error tbf.

If memory serves, he said something in the speech he heard on the morning news that he couldn't have known at 11pm because it hadn't happened.

Re: THE TV SHOW THREAD - *** NO SPOILERS ***
He is in it yes. You are correct. There are two things on the recording, one suspicious and one a complete giveaway. You hear him closing his blinds, which you're arguably not likely to do at 11pm. And the news he mentioned was about China pulling out of the Olympics, news which didn't break until the morning after the murder.

Cassidy was a killer in a few of them, my favourite where he played the author.
He died not long after in a tragic accident.

The moment during his magic show where Columbo challenges him to pick the lock of his handcuffs... It dawns on him that Columbo suspects him re the picking of the unpickable lock at the murder scene.
So if he picks this lock successfully then he'll give himself away, but he must do it for the sake of his audience. He does it, with a horrified expression on his face, then close-up on Columbo "I knew you could do it sir" then winks at him. Creepy cunt! Magnificent.

You may remember the ending. In the harbour, he asks a fellow officer to light his cigar, and officer says 'I thought you were giving it up', and Columbo says 'Not yet' and smiles knowingly, which seems like a reference to his career.Randall wrote:I actually had to Google that one, probably a reason I can't remember it that well?Rogg wrote:Final ep of Columbo Series 5, 'Last Salute to the Commodore'.

Chuckling to himself, he climbs into a rowing boat and rows out to sea, saying he's off to find his wife. It feels the whole show is ending. His behaviour the whole way through is very odd, and the traditional formula is fucked about with too. We don't find out whoddunnit until the very end and it's so weak. Hard to know what to make of it! Was it meant to be a joke or something?

I have seen the England one yes. It was a bit twee but I didn't think it was bad, assuming we mean the same ep. That's quite an early one though and my standards are higher now I've seen so many great ones.

An article here on the Commodore one heh:
When good TV goes bad: the moment Columbo’s case went cold
It wasn’t the 10-year break in the 80s that did for the crumpled detective, but rather a truly berserk episode from season five
