HBO Series "The Night Of" (1 Viewer)

[SaintsInDome2006]

The show is really about how this poor guy and people like him sit and waste in the system, and maybe get abused and corrupted there, while the system slowly ignores him and lets him rot there. The police investigation is barely happening, the one hope is that the wounds are not consistent with the knife, or that the traffic cameras confirm all of Naz's story, or that there's some oddity like a camera in the deer head or in the house. Box actually tries to intimidate Stone into not investigating.

Plus doesn't the step dad ride a motorcycle?  Didn't a motorcycle pull up next to Nas at the red light and then take off right before Nas made the illegal left that got him pulled over?

How do we know he rides a motorcycle...was it in a scene?

I keep thinking I'm missing details - was this shown?

Didn't he show to the morgue in a biker jacket and helmet?  Maybe I'm making it up, but for some reason I thought it was alluded to that he rode a motorcycle.

Oh he** no.

I can't think of a more lame conclusion to an episode.

I still don't know what happened...

 

[Capella]

Man that was a great hour. 

 

[Apple Juice]

Like someone said a while ago, I think Duane is wanted for some #### but the reason he was looking back at the house is because he saw somebody inside.

Interesting that this was the first episode they give some plausibility to Naz being the killer, showing off his temper. My hunch is still the stepdad in some way or another.

Has Stone been to a different Doctor in each episode?

Same

 

[shadyridr]

Big fan of the prison scenes. I'm hoping Nas goes away for life and season 2 basically becomes a new season of Oz.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Same

Can't be the same for each visit - can it? - one told him to stop using the crisco stuff...the pharmacist is the same.  But I can't tell how many docs he has seen.  Seems like each episode is a new solution to the eczema.

That's the funny part about his case and apparently, from the help group he attends, eczema in general.   The doctors have no real idea how to treat it so they come up with crazy ideas and the people that have it are so desperate that they'll try anything.

That's why its funny

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Watched first episode, pretty good stuff.  I probably would have panicked too, but I wouldn't have just run out of there.  That's about as much as I can say for now. 

 

[cobalt_27]

Loved, loved, loved this episode

 

[PIK95]

I love the Pharmacist and his jaded attitude.   "NUMBER FIVE IS ALIVE!"

 

[shuke]

Has Stone been to a different Doctor in each episode?

A couple different ones.  Tonight's was the same as last one.

 

[SameSongNDance]

Stone: What is his name?

Trevor: Wally..

Stone: Wally what?

Trevor: Mart. Wally Mart.

 Nas

He does wear chains that excite the Feds.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

They found blood in the den, if that's Andrea's it doesn't make sense that it would have been in the bedroom too. If they found blood in the backyard that definitely would not jibe with Nas leaving through the front.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

I can't think of a more lame conclusion to an episode.

If anything we learned that Stone will stop at nothing to get to the truth.

The metaphor between the disease of the feet and the system was made clear by the blue light at the beginning and the end.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

And hey I've been in that bar where Stone was shaking down the drug dealer. I used to go there - Belgian Beer Bar aka Vol de Nuit on W 4th by NYU.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Rewatched the first two episodes yesterday... noticed that Nas is left-handed during a scene from his calculus class. Perhaps this proves useful later on.

Yep saw that too when I rewatched ep 1. Left hand vs right hand stab angle based on the wounds.

Naz cut her hand in the den.  She was murdered in the bedroom.  Correct?

 

[ProstheticRGK]

I noticed it tonite when he was kicking homeboy in the shower. i only noticed because he looked really awkward kicking with his left leg.

I like your take on the UV light thing. I was wondering what that was about at the ending, that makes sense.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Right, so prosecution would have to explain how that happened. 

 

[shadyridr]

Between Nas, sticky fingaz, and treach there is a theme

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Great episode.  And now Nas might not be who we thought.  Turturro gets better every episode.

 

[TLEF316]

Naz getting a little too big for his britches. Did he really think that he was getting protection and perks for free.

Strutting around like a big man and all of a sudden he's crapping out drugs in front of 4 other dudes.

 

[jamny]

I really like the show so far but didn't really care for that episode. Enough with the feet already. I'm not buying Naz being a tough guy so quickly, even with the backup. I'm not really a fan of the prison part of the show as it is and the episode didn't move the case along enough for me. Didn't hate the episode but didn't love it like some here.

Thankfully they had Stone realize what Naz was doing swallowing the bags. It was seeming like neither of them noticed at first.

 

[RUSF18]

Thought everything was really good up until Stone took off after a wanted felon. That was just preposterous.

I thought the feet would finally come in to play (like hed be in too much pain and wouldnt be able to catch him or something like that)

Yea the prison tough guy this is dumb.  When he was a basketball tutor he couldn't even look at people in the eye.  Now he's mean mugging big dudes in Rikers?

 

[Statorama]

His entire interaction with that dude was pretty far-fetched, even for a TV show.

 

[Sinn Fein]

I am not ready to accept a Primal Fear ending here, just yet.  So, I imagine the moral of the story is still along the lines of how the criminal justice system changes a person.  I thought it was odd that he did not have the deer in a headlights look for very long after entering Rikers, but, agree that his transformation is a little too quick.  So, maybe the end play is that he simply entered the system as a naive kid, and walks out in the end a much more hardened person - more capable of crime.

The DA's office also dropped a hint that Naz transferred schools - so I imagine something will come out of that - like he had been in a fight, and maybe even stabbed someone.

Yes, of course an extreme circumstance would not change someone's personality whatsoever. 

 

[SouthJersey]

Good point.  Going from shy college kid to Rikers toughguy is common under extreme circumstances.

Cheating, harassment, Aderol, it will be something the DA can use and it will be something that Nas again didn't tell Stone.

 

[On The Rocks]

I'm going to need to watch that episode again.  The whole part about tracing his steps on the map has to have some relavence to a presumably open and shut case.  

 

[IC FBGCav]

Great episode.  And now Nas might not be who we thought.  Turturro gets better every episode.

It seems he is always at the top of his game.

 

[Gustavo Fring]

I'd think the opposite, I think this shows that Nas was telling Box the truth during the interrogation scene (at least where they were going that night) and Box is realizing this as he traces his whereabouts that night on the map.  

 

[Sinn Fein]

I'd think the opposite, I think this shows that Nas was telling Box the truth during the interrogation scene (at least where they were going that night) and Box is realizing this as he traces his whereabouts that night on the map.  

Maybe, but I could understand how the prosecutor took some of that info - specifically the video of her getting in the cab - and twisting it to show premeditation.  If we had not seen that scene, it would look like he was trolling for a victim.

Though, I was a little less impressed with how she elicited the "testimony" from the coroner.

 

[Sinn Fein]

I'm still holding out hope that one of these episodes shows him heading out to an all-night poker club, where he grinds out some cash to make up for his meager lawyer earnings...

 

[higgins]

I agree - I also think that now that Box has retired that he'll be instrumental at some point in helping Nas regardless of the DA's agenda.

I was too horrified during that scene to comprehend what was going on.

Isn't Box retiring after the case is finished?

He had his chance to jump in during the whole scene where the DA just jumped to the conclusion about the cab passengers showing premeditation.

 

[higgins]

Isn't Box retiring after the case is finished?

Same difference to me - just sayin.
