True Detective: Tom went in to listen to the Cardinals game...in November. Mmmmmhmmmm... (3 Viewers)

[Otis]

The show does suck, but luckily I still don't understand what is happening. I fell asleep about 20 minutes in last night, what happened? Did Velcro and McAdams do it yet?

I've been half paying attention as well, I'm pretty sure I have no idea what's going on, other than the gangster is on hard times and is going back to threaten folks to make money; the cops are all screwed up; there are killers on the loose; and the mayor or some high ranking officials are somehow in on it.

That's about all I got.

Oh and Mcadams looks smoking hot in kevlar.

So if you own something, and then somebody beats you up pretty bad, then they can just own it?

Pizzolatto wrote both seasons, why would season 2 be so much worse than the first? The directors? One guy, Cary Fukunaga, directed all 8 episodes last season. So far in season 2 there have been four directors.

Is that the same guy that made those custom sneakers that Vince bought for Turtle?

Did fukanawa write this crap too?

The latter is more common than the former in these hour-long TV dramas.

I saw this in Guardians of the Galaxy...The answer is no

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I'm starting to realize that VV's ####ty scenes are mostly not his fault. My breakdown:

60% -- That wooden redhead chick. God she's terrible. Huge #### though -- we better get to see those.

25% -- The writing. Some of the dialog is just plain clunky, but redhead's robotic delivery is again part of the problem that it comes off so poorly.

15% -- VV. There's something wrong with being cold and ####ified at the same time. He gets all serious/mean/determined and cries about his daddy with the same exact face/delivery.

Shootout was cool, but what in the actual ####. To wit:

- Hey, let's park six blocks away and wander around with our guns out before we break down this door. Oh ####, machine gun!

- It's unfortunate that there's only 7 cops here, but lets not call for backup. Do we even have radios, bro?

- Shooting at each other from the other side of the bus or car; you know Raylan Givens would have just got low and shot out some feet/legs.

- Not sure why, but I lol'd when civilians were just milling about like idiots and LatainoMafia #3 just machine gunned everyone down.

- Edit: Oh yeah, one more. Shooting all done and the classic 12 police cars show up for the aftermath.

I did love the collision with the bus, that was awesome. And shooting #### up is awesome in general.

Was waiting for gaybro when asked if he discovered anything to respond:

"Not much, chick named Tasha is a high end escort. Worked big parties. Caspere was there sometimes. I proceeded to get all tanked up and then have gay secks with some random dude. Woke up and my motorcyle was stolen. Oh and missing person latina that I'm viagra-banging is pregnant and I'm getting married."

Ever listen to "The Suburbs" and "Reflektor" by Arcade Fire?

 

[Good Posting Judge]

I also wonder if there was some as-yet unseen reason as to why these guys were so hardcore.

1-hit wonder.

HBO should force him out, and bring in new writers if there is a season 3.

There better be or that's pretty ####### random.

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Is chick gay dude knocked up the same as the mayors daughter or no? I'm an idiot.

McAdams being super serious with her sister was right up there for worst acting of the season imo.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

And I've never had a cavity!

Yea, wtf was that?

 

[Quez]

That was like the shootout scene in Life Aquatic where Steve Zissou takes out a bunch of guys with machine guns using a pistol.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Semyon should've added in that he also floats like gravity.

I believe that I've read he spent years crafting the story around season 1. Maybe we need multiple years in between seasons so people can proofread this mess of a script a few times for him. Definitely looks like he caught lightning in a bottle the first time around, and not that he's the next great thing.

Yeah, that was always the concern, imo.

 

[Todem]

Yeah....season two is garbage. It's not even fair to compare it to season 1 which was incredible.

 

[Rick James]

I think they're focusing too much on the plot. In my opinion, the first season was fantastic because the two main characters were fleshed out and very entertaining on screen. I was interested in the overarching plot, but I was also super interested in the clash between Cohle and Marty. Half of any episode was dedicated to those two characters going back and forth, and it was entertaining.

there's really none of that here.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

I guess not. They showed the daughter like twice for 2 seconds. The second time in a dark smokey room. Whatever. I don't care.

With this, Ballers, and The Brink, this has to be the weakest HBO lineup in a long time.

Bad editing right before the shootout scene. You see McAdams pull her gun out and hold it by her side as she's walking. Then they show her walking without the gun. And then it's magically back in her hand.

Horrible.

That's a minor continuity error.

You can find them in just about every movie and TV show ever made.

 

[Ilov80s]

RIP fat sweaty drunk detective.

Why don't they make bullet proof helmets.

I hope they are burning his ####.

I assumed he'll survive and get what all old, fat, drunk detectives want...a sweet desk job and early retirement.

 

[Ilov80s]

I wonder how big the time jump will be for the rest of the season.

What about parking 5 blocks away and then walking down the middle of the street to their destination?

Yeah, not sure he's dead after they pulled the Velcroe fast one last episode

Well, that's simply an accurate depiction of stupid cops.

"You sure you need this many officers?"

"Well, we're going to park a mile away and we're all only bringing handguns to even the odds."

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Gotta do recon on the building first, no? Whole thing felt a little half-assed. Quarter-assed, even.

Ledo was mentioned as being associated with "Santa Muerte", which is some crazy Catholic offshoot #### that is in no way affiliated with the Catholic Church as a whole. Wikipedier: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Muerte

I know it's only been a few episodes but I'm getting the impression these 3 just might not be very good cops

Vinci cops and city officials are definitely guiding the investigation. They should be happy that they got "their guy" and he's dead so can't deny involvement.

Whole new cast this year?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

so hippy dad took one in the head at the shootout?

What kind of gang sets up a HQ at a bus station?

So Saracen knocked up Caspers maid?

Who was the hipster dude at Veloco's buffet?

 

[Ilov80s]

how did that cop get that girl pregnant if he's gay?

I think they accidentally injected Frank's sperm into her thinking it was his wife. It fits with two of the major themes of the show: all women look alike and other people's sperm often ends up in the last place you would want it to.

Seriously? I bailed halfway through the second episode, but willing to revisit.

Jarden is 30 miles from my house (its really lockhart). Considering buying a bar there if it looks like them get a season 3.

Second half was much more entertaining for sure...
