Observations on the "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" pilot
I recently rewatched the "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" pilot movie on PlutoTV. While I think the movie mruddoes a great job of setting up the series, establishing the main characters and has a wonderful plot, there are two things about the pilot that have bothered me, and I will discuss what they are below.
1. First, Eugene's plan for framing Charlie for murder relies heavily on two factors. First, that Charlie bears a strong enough resemblance to him that the latter could easily be mistaken for the former. Second, that he can get close enough to Charlie to steal his wallet, which would have never happened had Kelly not encouraged Charlie to jump across the river. Had Eugene been stalking Charlie, just waiting for the right opportunity to take his wallet and frame him for murder? Or did he just happen to bump into Charlie on his way to commit the murder and decide to steal his wallet and frame him at the spur of the moment? It may seem inconsequential in the long run, but this is just something that has bothered me.
2. Second, during the movie, Shane received a birthday card addressed from her father, as she has every year since he left the family when Shane was ten years old. Later on during the movie though, we learn that Shane's father is deceased. Now Shane doesn't mention when her father died but unless it just happened that year, then it's highly unlikely that the card could have been from him. Now it's possible that he could have mailed the card right before he died, but it's never firmly established that this is the case.
Anyway, those are just some things I noticed while rewatching the "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" pilot. Did you all notice either of those things POSTables? Is there anything else you noticed about the pilot that I might have missed? Let me know in the comments section below.
