i'm giving Vaughn a pass here. the dialogue as written is terrible.

"It's a Mexican standoff......with Mexicans"

The worst.

I laughed.

Having a bet riding on Semyon to die first makes this show 20% more fun btw.

That line and Velcoro's reaction when Vince said he's his only friend both made me LOL. This season needed way more of that.

It does have its moments. But holy hell, the crap we have to churn through to get there.

WTF was the purpose of Semyon's talk with the kid? He's gold inside??????????

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Kind of interesting. S1 made pretty steady gains after a drop-off after the first ep (think that's normal).

S2 had a much higher debut, way more people gave the second episode a shot, but has been on a slow slide downward, looks like only 75% of people have hung in there for ep 5.

I think it was, "gee Frank would be a good parent if he wasn't busy being a terrible gangsta."

A long way to go for the plot point that Blake is definitely up to something.

Also funny!

Ani's bit about how she loved big ##### should've been hilarious, but man that thing was a lead balloon.

[Jack White]

The show desperately needs some humor to offset the brooding/depressing [every character in the show].

Plenty of unintentional comedy.

I like how TRE didn't even realize he'd been cut up until he was like 5 seconds away from dying.

 

[nirad3]

Wait, what just happened? I still don't know. And I heard from a few sources that this episodes was "the best evah!!"

Shakes head.

Maybe this is some sort of social experiment by HBO. Season one... some of the best TV ever. I know, let's put 4 relatively big Hollywood actors in Season Two, but let's just make it a steaming pile of cow poop. Let's see how long we can string these morons out.

This just sucks. And I'm not trying to "whine". It's just bad.

 

[Peyton Marino]

pretty crazy that they killed off one of the main characters after 2 episodes. i was half expecting him to come back in episode 3.

 

[Jack White]

I'm 3 episodes in. Do I keep going or get out now?

I would bail.

I'm sticking it out only because it's so fun to make fun of now.

yea that's what I'm thinking. still gonna stick around and participate in the discussion though, as is tradition.

[nirad3]

It's going to be like a Scooby Doo moment where they pull the bird mask off someone, only to have 'em say "I woulda got away with it if it weren't for you meddling cops!"

I haven't read a word of this because I may watch this. I'm a cord cutter with SlingTV considering getting HBO for one $15 month to power watch this and whatever else interests me in the next 30 days. Worth it? And I don't steal torrents so it's $15 or nevermind. I guess, without reading, is this half as good as the first one? That would make it worth getting to me.

It's probably worth $15 just to binge on Last Week Tonight. Or GoT. Or TD season 1...

So just to start an argumnet.

It wasnt a spray. It was like a pez dispenser that pop the pills.

 

[johnnycakes]

S2E1 started out "ok", but each episode has become weaker. No two ways about it. Storyline is dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Completely incredulous. I keep waiting for something "interesting"... a good sex scene... some good stunt work... a funny line... and what do I get? "a Mexican standoff... with actual Mexicans."

 

[Ned]

Jesus H Christ this thing has gone off the deep end.

The blue pills were Viagra for the guys. The girls were getting a spritz

As Apple Jack has mentioned...isn't the cheesy dialogue written to be cheesy?

I appreciate your refusal to use the hideous acronym.

No, and that's why it rates so high on the unintentional comedy scale.

 

[Plorfu]

It's a funny thing, the filament. It gets hot, makes the light bulb brighten. Hey, a light bulb just went over my head. I have an idea, muchacho. How about you tell me where the girl is, or I'll make sure your light gets turned off. Forever.

My father used to take me to the zoo. I feel like one of those animals right now, caged up, antsy, sickened by the never-ending smell of waffle cones. I need this trip to end soon, baby. I can't stay in the shark exhibit until the park closes.

 

[Emerson Biggens]

WhoreBus could be its own show imo.

Once you get on that bus, it's #### or run

 

[johnnycakes]

Even the scene with the nail gun was a sham... what'd they do, go to the Dollar Store to get their equipment? Surely they must have connections in the construction industry with the tool to get the job done properly.

Unfortunately, she ran.
