True Detective Season 2

I would like to tongue that dumper.

She probably wanted to "peg" him.

She also has a dazzling array of knives and some sort of knife stabbing dummy in her living room...

Overall, I thought it was good. GF thought it was slow/didn't pull her in as much as mcconaughey's weirdness, but I don't know if that criticism is fair. We didn't watch the first season together, but both of us started it after the season had started which means you might have zipped through 2 or 3 episodes in your first sitting.

That episode would certainly have been enough to get me to watch episode 2 immediately following if I had them all queued up.

They are being more ambitious by doubling the main cast...that's going to take more time to develop. Hopefully it holds together. Remains to be seen if a TV version of Vernon, CA can be as interesting as the swamp people down in the bayou. LA and its industrial outskirts have already been pretty well represented in noir.

BOOM SHOTTIE TO THE STOMACH

Wow, I did not see his character getting killed so early.

 

[grundletaint]

Maybe they just blasted him with a marital aid cannon?

Wow, I did not see his character getting killed so early.

They had released this set pic, so maybe not, although I wouldn't put it past HBO to release it as a deception.

Ugh. If they are going to have him live, they should've used a 9mm. A shotgun blast survival seems really far fetched unless they are going to say it's bean bags or something.

Oh well I will not whine and jump to any more conclusions. Sorry for being Lefty in the Walking Dead thread.

Also, thoughts on Taylor's relationship with his mom. Seems like there was definitely some diddling going on there in his youth.

the cutaway from the stain in the ceiling to casper's eyes was just

also, maybe the thing McAdam's partner was hesitant to try in the first episode, it was group sex?

 

[gort]

No silly there was no 3rd person in their bedroom. Clearly she wanted him to put it in her pooper and he was being a ***** because it was icky.

 

[otc]

I figured bean bags or other survival until the second execution style shot...

I guess be could still be alive, but that is also one good way to clear up having too many characters.

The trailer for the show has a scene not yet aired, with Farrell. At the :38 mark.

shoot a guy while wearing a bird suit? I guess....

I am getting tired of the one upmanship of shows killing off its main characters for shock value.
Boardwalk Empire waited until the end of Season 2, Game of Thrones was near the end of Season 1 and now True Detective offed its main character at the end of the second episode?
Also, the second episode was worthless dribble and the only saving grace was Rick Springfield as the creepy psychiatrist.
