I loved this episode. I loved that Monk was good at something other than solving crimes. I also loved that he became part of a work crew and seemed appreciated. The end was a bit of a downer when things returned to normal and he felt like an outcast again.
That’s always been my one complaint about Monk. Everytime things look up for him, they go back to normal. He never caught a break until the last season
Honestly I would say that it's kinda realistic haha I often feel like I got the same sort of pattern, things go better, then they come back to being like it was before - not great. When you are having deep psychological issues, patterns in life occur and you can't seem to escape them, at least it's like that for me for years now
Isnt it amazing how walls turn to glass from different angles? 1:50 When they meet in his office, the guy has regular windows. 7:25 When they view his window from the cafeteria, the guy has floor-to-ceiling windows.
2:25, you get a view of the cafeteria, 7:26, you can see that the desk is blocked along the bottom and the chair on right side of desk is also blocked by the walls. Same windows in both scenes. If it was floor to ceiling windows, you'd be able to see the whole desk. Cafeteria is only one floor lower than the office.
@TheJunkymagi 2:25 from inside the room you can see the wall is higher than the top of the table. At 7:26 the view is from below, so there is no way you should be able to see any part of the table from that angle. From 1 floor down or even if you was just 1 ft below that wall you would never see the table, its not possible that they are the same window's
Monk’s forced smile is so painful to look at.😓 Also, I always laugh when Monk holds up the toothpick and says that the suspect chews them to try and look tougher while Stottlemeyer has one in his mouth.😂😂😂
I don’t understand how it’s supposed to make you look tough in the first place? What’s tough about keeping a tool for dental hygiene in you’re mouth? It’s just weird
@@chloepainter4064 it’s an old fashioned 1920s film gangster thing. It was cigars back then, but the world didn’t know that smoking was dangerous. So now it’s toothpicks. On the screen, anyway - I have no idea if criminals chew toothpicks in real life, because I don’t know any. 😛
I loved how he spoke through clenched teeth. So funny. Tony deserves all the awards he obtained. If he were a movie star I'm sure he'd be an Oscar winner. He's that good.
"Would love to see full episodes of Monk on here" yeah I bet. Everybody loves stuff for free. I wonder if you would even turn off your adblock if there were episodes for free.
Ddodnt happen, that's why he was eating alone at the end - the other team called him out and he didn't want to swap shoes so his coworkers kicked him out of the group 😔
I was pretty confused about it too, but I've seen a guy get 292. He was so nervous he just dropped the ball on the 12th shot, solid 7/8 hit (lefty). Still a little on the unbelievable side.
McClintock was a regular on a short lived sitcom called Stark Raving Mad which also starred Shalhoub. Shalhoub played a horror novelist and McClintock played his assistant.
Putting a pillow in front of a gun does not significantly suppress the sound. It's used in _CLOSE RANGE_ shots to prevent/limit blood spatter. What a waste of a fine pillow.
@@Cramblit Depends on the firearm. The bigger the cartridge, generally the more powerful the gas escaping is. A 9mm, for example, will have significantly less than a .357 magnum. Revolvers are also a little different, due to the way they're loaded, gas, and thus powder, will escape around the cylinder. That's why revolvers are so notoriously difficult to suppress, because that gas and explosive energy is escaping from more than just the barrel. It's hard to get a good look at the pistol in that scene, but it looks like a compact, so maybe 9mm or .22? Either way, not a ton of power in the cartridge, so probably not too much there.
The joke about Natalie screaming was apparently "borrowed" from an episode of "Fawlty Towers" British TV series of the 70's. John Cleeze of Monty Python fame used the same trick.
I don't understand why you'd agree to leave the public space because a gun was flashed. The guy doesn't want to be discovered so around as many people as possible seems like the safest place to be
@@westwardmedia9375 well his actions were also compromising the guy and getting him in trouble, not sure if intentionally framing but if so then he didn't plan for it to go on forever since eventually someone was gonna go down for it.
This one really irritated me. Monk’s helper is talking to him right in front of the killer while he watches them in the restaurant. Monk told her the guy is the one and that he can read lips, but she keeps jabbering away about what Monk has discovered. Of course the killer sees it because he is staring at her. They should have left the restaurant and called the police as soon as Monk figured it out. It’s bad, lazy writing and it killed any enjoyment I might have had. Two of the things that soured me on this series were the way Monk’s female helpers (first one and then the next) and the captain’s sidekick detective are written as total idiots and recipients of exposition dumps to push the plot forward. It got really old and despite enjoying Tony Shaloub’s performance, I just couldn’t stomach any more. Seeing this clip reminded me.
There is another way it could work: log the toothpick DNA as evidence, and then compare it to each suspect that you can get a warrant on. If nothing else, it would prove that they were in the parking lot that night.
If the guy had an implant, why could read lips? He didn't sound deaf, implying that he got the implant very young. This means that he never would've learned to read lips. Also, screaming in his implant shouldn't have startled him. An implant isn't like a hearing aid which makes stuff sound louder, its a device which sends sound to the cochlea at a normal volume. A person can change the volume, but I'm fairly certain that most people would set it at a normal volume.
Those implants did have a volume issue, I don't know the brand but a kid I went to school with had one that looked like that, and they frequently had to take it out because things got too loud.
@@TaylorRoberts14 Modern Implants still look like that, though the volume issue might've been resolved, You can raise and lower the volume. I used to have a deaf coworker, and her implant seemed to work fine.
Monk needed to wear full finger gloves for handling the ball, to contrast against the usual fingerless gloves normal bowlers wear. That was a miss from the script writers.
In general, a bowling alley is the last place an extreme germaphobe would be, gloves or no gloves. But a side plot in the episode is that Monk is able to overcome all his anxieties, at least temporarily
considering you lack both the basic knowledge of how DNA works to catch a criminal and the basic knowledge of the word nitpicking you should never nitpick.

The woman who was shot, sorry but it appeared that she was preparing to get shot… and took a position knowing she would get killed? Me I would have made a quick move to duck and hide!
AH, I just realized the scene error where Kemp interviews Monk and Natalie but his room is set up where its far from him being visible through the window, has the elevated side below the window, and there's no possible way he would have recognized Monk or Natalie through there.
Since the mouth movements are symmetrical with English words, it actually doesn't change much. Amazingly enough, those of us who read lips can often read them sideways and upside down... just like written language. The biggest challenges are mustaches, people with partial paralysis, and those with regional dialects who drop syllables.
@HZ That's so cool!!! I only assume it would be mirrored like written words based off nothing at all haha. Totally my bad, but thank you for the education!
How would he read her lips in a mirror? A mirror image of her lips would be gibberish wouldn't it? I don't read lips so I wouldn't know, but surely that's the equivalent of trying to listen to someone in rewind.
I would assume, since the whole mouth is used to form words, a mirror would not make a difference. If a word was formed from the side of the mouth, if only half of the mouth was used and it was a different sound if you use the other side of your mouth, then everything he read would be backwards.
I love how it just takes complete social acceptance for Monk to be so comfortable that he forgets he has problems with socializing.
as someone with social anxiety, I can confirm that it helps connecting to a strangers when you're appreciated.
Bravo to Natalie as well for her help with disarming the murderer
Natalie consistently put herself in harm's way to protect Monk!

Natalie certainly learned a few tricks from Monk. She is also street smart which Monk lacks. I always prefer Natalie over Sharon.
@10:31 ~ That's some street smarts right there!
He bowled a 294?
Really? Eleven strikes in a row and then a 4 count?
A four count is hard to get.
Not impossible though, and after eleven strikes in a row, Lady Luck probably decided to screw him over.

They didn’t even have to disarm him. It’s a public restaurant, if he pulls the gun out or shoots them he’ll be caught immediately.
You're not a smart person
yea he'll be caught but they'll be dead
Would you bet your life on the guy with the gun being a rational thinker?
Yes but you still be dead.
