That ending
Did he dieded?
Probably butt stuff.

Hard to think he didn't, but that seems awfully early for a guy who got such high billing.
Was that a big bird head?
Well, if we were missing the weirdness of the first series, it's back.
How does doom song chick have a regular gig at that bar?
Much better 2nd episode I thought. It slowed down and that's a good thing
Yeah, if this were named anything other than True Detective, I'd be easier on it. The bar was just set so high.
Some critics have been annoyed by the aerial transition shots. I think they are cool and getting pretty varied.
I will say I like Vaughn a whole lot better as a dramatic actor. His comedy is limited to aping Bill Murray or Jack Lemmon and it's terrible.
Did you think the less crotch shot was going to be the nudity? I didn't think they would go that route.
I hope Colin Farrell didn't get killed off. He's been the best out of Gambit and Regina George. And I still want to hear him say he is going butt someone.
Agreed on this, better episode overall, but still lackluster compared to S1 standards.
However, I don't know how you can possibly think Vaughn is a better dramatic actor -- he was amazing in Swingers. Plus, last night's opening scene was excruciatingly bad.
If they kill Vaughn off in next episode the season can still be saved
Swingers, sure -- then what?
It's all relative. I don't think of him as a particularly good actor at all. I just cringe more in his comedies.
I'm still waiting for any of the characters to be likable or at least relatable.
Even if dead, I expect we will see a lot of him in flashbacks of past events, especially relating to what really happened when he confronted his ex-wife's rapist, and if he really killed him and if he's connected to the current murder or missing person if he didn't.
Sure, he's got to have a lot of history with Vaughn's character and rapist is probably in there somehow. It's just that as much homage to Chinatown season 2 seemed to be paying at first, now it's To Live and Die in LA in episode 2. Maybe they are just mixing up all the LA stories they can remember
In season 1, I believe it was episode 3 that we met the killer (lawnmower man). I think there's a good chance that we've already met him in season 2 (counting the picture of the rapist in episode 1 as a possibility)
While episode 2 is clear and away better than episode 1, especially given that CF's character seems to have been killed off, there's one thing about that scenario that makes no sense to me. Here we have a veteran cop, who makes what would seem on the surface as an unlikely mistake. He hadn't cleared many rooms, yet he relatively quickly puts his firearm away. The ?
He even goes into what seems like a hidden room without his firearm out. And given the nature of the case, this is all the more unlikely. Everybody (even non-cops) know to clear all of the ing rooms before putting away your firearm. Even though you're given the impression that the gunman came from the exterior of the house, or perhaps another area CF passed upon entry, that is not particularly relevant because he shouldn't have had to remove his gun from the holster. I don't like how that scene was written up, although I like the ending of the scene and overall feeling you get from it.
Trying to give this season a chance.... but I am finding it a little bland, the acting seems off (vince vaughn I just can't take seriously), and it's going a little too slow. and that damn bar restaraunt is getting annoying.
summary so far..... episode 1 was ok, episode 2 good, episode 3 weak.
Tim Riggins is gay?
Yep, and he's in complete gay denial mode, which is why he's so angry and ed up. He can't even get a hard on for his gf without the blue pill, and he was about to kick his old army pal's ass when he brought up their gay adventures in the service.
Anyways, I thought episode 3 was a step down. Rubber bullets, really? I'm intrigued by how this mess is all going to come together, but I just don't care about a sex addicted corrupt city leader getting murdered as much as I cared about the innocent victims in season 1. This season's suspects seem vendetta related. Season 1's suspects were just sick, evil ers.

Why is Tim Riggins with that señorita? I've never heard of fake straight guys taking viagara to get hard for women. That is truly sad. If you like , go suck it. Don't be a fake straight guy and lie to some hot señorita. You're better than that. Am I the only one that thinks Rachel McAdams doesn't belong in this show?
so what... a common riot gun loadRubber bullets, really?
I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware. Nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself - we are creatures that should not exist by natural law... We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self, that accretion of sensory experience and feelings, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everbody's nobody... I think the honorable thing for our species to do is to deny our programming. Stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction - one last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal.
I'm really trying to look for a silver lining with this show, but now that Colin Farrell isn't dead there's nothing left. It's almost as if the acting is supposed to be exaggerated, like I'm watching a show full of David Caruso's. If you disregard the atrocious acting (which is hard to do), the story itself just isn't interesting at all. Pure dog
Couldn't agree more. I really, really, really want to like it but it is just so overacted, miscast, uninteresting, laborious and just boring. I quite like how it looks and that is about it.
I swear I remember reading prior to release that it was going to be about the occult history of the Californian transport system... I'm not seeing any signs of that tbh
And there it is. He starts by beating the out of a Mexican guy, and ripping out his grill/teeth with pliers. My only hope is that Vaughn just becomes even worse, lets his anxiety go and just starts brutally injuring (and killing) people. Otherwise, this is trash. Granted, his inner conflict/anxiety doesn't really fit him as an actor, but that's what the character is designed to do because he's clearly struggling with his iden y as a legit businessman and street businessman. This is the only character that I was drawn to as written, as I think it has potential, so hopefully the deeper the dive becomes, the better he becomes in the role.
I couldn't even get through the first episode.
The show actually brought up that very idea. Remember the convo between Riggins and the obviously gay, male pros ute? They were talking about some club and Riggins asked him if he ever got with the women, and the male pros ute said something along the lines of "yes, but not without the help of a blue pill." I don't remember the exact words, but I think they touched on that topic.
can't get into this season. i've had time to watch it but have decided to pass so far. i've just seen a couple minutes and then changed the channel. with the first season i saw a couple minutes and kept watching.
