I'm loving re-watching some random old Walker, Texas Ranger recently. A lot of over the top, near so bad it's good stories.
- Yesterday I saw the episode where a group of convicts take over a prison bus. They kill a few people before winding up intentionally at a church. The church was a orphanage for the lead bad guy, so he gets lippy with the head nun, who helped raise him. He also keeps another convict from getting rapey with a young nun he knew from their shared past in the orphanage.
OF COURSE Cahill, Walker's lover, is at the church at the moment the baddies arrive as she is leading a battered woman support group. Walker and the cops arrive. FFWD to Walker asking for a blue print of the place. They never show him getting one as the next scene is just him creeping around the edge of the church and kicking in a side door to the basement, with the baddies of course hearing none of this.
Walker helps free most of the hostages, but the 2 main baddies have the 2 nuns with them. The baddies end up arguing and the head baddie takes a bullet from baddie #2 to save the nuns. Walker then kicks Baddie number 2's ass. Instead of calling for the medics to come save the dying Baddie #1, Walker slowly walks towards him as the head nun opens the church doors, allowing God to enter and take the soul of the Baddie as end credits roll.
- Today Danny Trejvo (Sp?) is playing a paroled convict who is trying to make nice with his long forsaken wife and kid. The leader of the half way house he is staying at slowly tries to leverage increased freedoms for a return to crime. If the time lines weren't so far apart, I would swear that they based the sleazy half way house leader off of Texas' favorite dirt bag, Ted Cruz.
- I also have to say its impressive that they actually gave the then 50+ year old Norris a girlfriend reasonably close in age.
