SPOILER for Columbo: Negative Reaction, season 4, episode 2.

I'm a murder mystery/detective series addict, so I've seen a lot of "clever" endings that weren't really.

This is one of the very best ways I've ever seen the detective catch the murderer. It incorporates Columbo manipulating the murderer into believing he's incompetent, which makes the murderer so cocky he has to prove his superior intelligence.

The trap uses a specific technology, which required specialized knowledge, which van Dyke's character of course has, and which Columbo knows he has.

It also shows just how fucking brilliant Columbo is. He uses knowledge of the tech which he only recently gained -- flipping negatives -- and does it incorrectly, so van Dyke will hang himself to prove Columbo's "mistake."

And I love how it shows the men with him, who've been a part of the set-up, respect him. I'm particularly annoyed with a series when the person who's solved uncountable murders is held in contempt by the police. "Well, yes, Father Brown has solved 103 murders. But he's still a busy-body, interfering Bible-thumper!" "So what if Miss Jane Marple is why we've caught 200 murderers? She's an old woman!" They've even done it in Columbo, with his superiors and others making derogatory snips about him.

The best part of this scene is the very end, when, with his back to us, Columbo starts pulling on his coat. He pauses, evidently looking at the blown-up photo. He slumps onto the table. We don't know what he's feeling or thinking. Exhaustion after a long, difficult case? Allowing himself to fully realize just how close he came to not proving van Dyke is the killer? Sadness at the death of the woman in the photo? We're left to draw our own conclusion. I love that instead of Columbo proudly walking off, satisfied with a job well done, we see this reaction.

Looking for clues in “Tom and Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes,” the boys stumble upon a promising lead. This painting served as an early piece of pitch art before production began.

I made a detective fantroll. Young and hardboiled, Caraku is a feral sleuth who's there to inspect anything. He's got batshit reflexes and is really sly. He never uses Trollian or any modern computer, 'cuz all he's got is a mechanical inkpuncher (typewriter). Caraku's also got a mixed, wild imagination.

The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic the Hedgehog has dabbled in plenty of genres over the last thirty-plus years, but one place nobody expected it to go in any official capacity was adventure gaming. The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, an adventure/visual novel released for free on April Fools’ Day 2023, looks like it’ll be any other ironic ‘dating sim’ parody of the genre from a popular brand. However, it surprises by not only being a fully-fledged adventure title, but a charming and well-written mystery worth checking out for Sonic fans and people looking to get into Japanese-style adventure games.

Sir Harold Wilberforce Clifton

Clifton: The Laughing Thief

by Turk and De Groot

Cinebook

"London is wracked by devilishly clever crimes executed with infallible precision by a crack crew of blaggers, but the profits of each caper seem far below what such expert criminals should be bothering with. Moreover, each perfectly executed heist is preceded by a telephone warning from a braying braggart with the most annoying and distinctive laugh imaginable"
