      Columbo does not loose his cool very often. The scene where he slams on Nemoy’s desk is genuinely unsettling.

      I haven’t watched Columbo in decades but I still remember this one episode where he allowed a man to take the fall, if only temporarily, for his wife. She was dying and riddled with dementia and didn’t even know or remember that she had killed someone. So the husband took the fall so that she wouldn’t die with the knowledge that she had done such a thing. I had missed the beginning of the episode so this was a very upsetting twist for me.

    I love that I can’t figure out if he’s a fucking genius or just REALLY lucky that he runs into all kinds of coincidences that lead him to solve the case.

    One time he got a stain on his shirt from going to the dentist, which he noticed in some part of the evidence to get the perp with.

    I like how the suspect’s subtitles say “Final Fantasy 7” like he’s clueless while Columbo’s subtitles properly say “Final Fantasy VII”.
