Lizard

Another LTTP observation.
While I'm still only a few eps into the first season, I've noticed that someone telling Columbo to put out his cigar is usually snooty, condescending, self-righteous, etc. It's used as a negative signifier. Today, of course, it's a negative signifier to show a character smoking anything.

"The past is a foreign country."

@LizardSF Yup. We're working our way through these as well. Haven't yet hit the ones I've seen. But you see why we thought you were doing a Columbo impression with Alec in Cthulhupunk.
