The Major (No. 75) provides examples of:
- Bilingual Bonus: In "The Major," the music used to set the theme in the gritty neo-Nazi biker bar is a parody song about farming and milking cows in rural south-western Germany.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Lampshaded by the judge's questioning.
- Let Me Get This Straight...: In "The Major", Liz gets called before a transparency-advocate judge in chambers to explain what the hell the task force does that requires so much secrecy - especially as it got a harbormaster killed. This trope should have been expected.Judge Denner: Tell me about this "task force" - how it works.
Agent Keen: I told you, he has a list.
Denner: Of criminals you don't know exist. That sounds like an empty promise.
Keen: You'd be surprised.
Denner: Humor me.
Keen: There was a man named Milton Bobbit, who devised an ingenious way to turn terminally ill patients into assassins, all while working as an unassuming insurance adjuster. The Courier moves high-value commodities under his skin. The Alchemist makes people disappear by changing their DNA.
Denner: None of this is possible.
Keen: That's what we thought!
Denner: ...How many of these cases has Reddington given to you?
Keen: (Beat)
(Smash Cut to a montage of cases set to X Ambassadors' "The Heist"
)
Keen: ...He keeps us busy - Recap Episode/Clip Show: Justified, in that Keen is being thoroughly interrogated about the Task Force by a judge.
- Soundtrack Dissonance: Subtle; the seemingly-suitable Rammstein-esque rock song in the neo-Nazi bar is a parody song about farming (see Bilingual Bonus above).
