True Detective: Tom went in to listen to the Cardinals game...in November. Mmmmmhmmmm... (1 Viewer)

Who was the black guy in the train station? Was that the first time we have seen him on the show?
Seriously? There was one black on the whole show! Vinci police chief and Ray's boss, Paul took him hostage last week underground, etc.

Im still wondering why the Mexicans even needed to be in the show. Talk about a series that just added characters for the sake of having the largest cast ever.

 
Ok wtf was that black guy?
Oh, come on :rolleyes: I know there's been a lot of confusion. But how many black guys are there in the show?
dude says I heard youve been looking for me. He was on the show before?
Yea he's the Vinci police chief and had been in many scenes. Now, I didn't know his name, nor did I think they were "looking" for him at all though.
Wasn't he also at the orgy JUST LAST ####### WEEK?
he mustve had some memorable scenes because I dont remember him at all.
 
I agree with some that the last couple of episodes got better, but that's not saying much.

Overall, this story was a goat rodeo. Cheap plot direction changes, unnecessary characters, no interest in a single character.

What's next to latch on to? When do we start the cast watch for next season?

Yeah, first time. lol, no wonder you guys hated it. You can't pay attention for more than 6 minutes at a time.
I was being sarcastic. Someone posted this last week after the black guy showed up in the subway.
Oh, sorry about that. I don't read this thread much thankfully.

Don't forget Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five talking #### to Frank in the desert.
Musical Youth would have also been acceptable

 
I did laugh though at all the head shots and how easy they made them look. Like when Frank shot the two or three guys with one shot each at the cabin. Yeah, I'm sure he's had a lot of time to practice at the range....

My heart might have had less blue balls if we would've gotten a look at some actual McAdams parts last night. Close, but no go.

Season 1 >>>>>>>> Season 2 as Titty McBlueyes >>>>>>>> Bitter McBrowneye.

This season was confusing in that respect, but it was an intentional running gag.

Each time the camera cut away from Holloway, there would be a different actor that didn't look much alike, such as Rick James, Charles Barkley, Neil deGrasse Tyson, etc.

so there were 8 episodes, right? the first 7 were 60 minutes each for a total of 420 minutes. then the finale was 90 minutes.

so that's a grand total of 510 wasted minutes of my life that I'll never get back. what a ####### mess this show was. I can't recall a show that had such a stellar first season, then a total dumpster fire the second.

and Colin Farrell really showed what an amazing actor he is. but that's like being the fastest turd in the S###lympics.

You didn't realize it was a disaster after 1-2 episodes?

Probably closer to 511 wasted minutes once including posting here about it. Be sure to update us with the exact figure once you add up other posts and/or time spent browsing this thread.

I was hoping for a satisfying payoff. the first season earned a lot of credit with me. :shrug:

20. He was a god warrior that day
 
I feel like this guy tried to pack 24 episodes worth of information into 8 episodes. There'd be a guy on screen for like 30 seconds in 2 scenes and we were supposed to fully understand who he was amongst all the other white guys in suits. Rolled out slowly this could've been better.

So why couldnt Velcoro take the transponder off the bottom of his car and put it on some other car headed in the oppoite direction?
He could have if they attached it with velcro.

In the 5 minutes it took to walk over to the fence, salute his son, and walk back, they had a pit crew jack up the car and bolt the thing on.Also, the entire assassin squad and lead shady cop all were staking out the school and nowhere else just hoping he'd show up.

Seriously. I think they spot welded it in the parking lot.

But they didn't take care to keep the bright red light out of sight.

 
I thought he only noticed the tracking device because of it's reflection in the puddle. I assumed they tracked him to the school with it, so they put it on his car much earlier.

How? Nobody knew where he was and I thought it was a "clean" car?
I don't know. Just seemed more preposterous that they put it on him while he was at the school for a few minutes.

 
I think he said something to Bezzerides about how they were watching him at the school and were still watching him, which is why it wouldn't matter if he ditched the transponder somehow. I dunno.

 
I don't think I would watch this next season without some huge casting coup. No confidence in this writer now and it seems like the director of season 1 and the chemistry of MM and Woody really had a lot to do with the success.

They're not getting any big names for next season unless Nick Pizz gives up a lot of control.

Nic Cage and Adam Sandler are already linked to rumors.

If that was season 1, you grandpas in here would be drooling over it like you do NCIS New Orleans.
I disagree. It was bad. Very bad. And there would be no season 2.
I'm sure there are some Nash Bridges reruns on somewhere for you.
Last week was the only time TD2 came close to being as good as Nash Bridges.
