nice. didnt know throwing up suddenly relinquishes the effects of pure molly. going to try that next time.
The solution to all these issues is to smoke more cigarettes during the show. Have even the babies smoking cigarettes, every shot is lighting up. It adds character... -Don Draper

Whelp, we just got this season's "Who goes there?".
I know that we were told that - that was my point, hence the comment about them changing their plan. It was highly unlikely, even w/ a different story that it would be as good. But when it was so well received? They should have kep that going.
That last 30 minutes of the episode was great. Kept me guessing
Still plenty of questions that I want to see answered in the final 2 episodes:
Who gave Vince Vaughn the false rapist for him to give to Farrell, and why?
What really happened in Black Mountain with Paul?
Who is the "skinny white cop" that gave the stolen jewelry to the Mexican girl to sell before she was killed?
Who is the masked man that shot Farrell with rubber bullets, and how does it tie into the investigation which is now focused on the "powerful people" sex parties and blackmail leading to Caspere's death?
What about answers to all of the subplots yet to be resolved, like Vaughn and his wife's attempts at becoming parents, McAdam's weirdness in many ways, Paul's suppressing his gayness, Farell/Ex-Wife/Kid?
, for some reason I thought the first series was 10 episodes and that this one was ramping up now and still had a good 4 episodes left.
What a ing let down this is, they can't possibly condense everything into 2 episodes.. smh
That eyes wide shut scene was completely over sold.
The Vince Vaughn scenes have now become a contest to see who in the room can hold in their laughter the longest. He's becoming so funny to take seriously that it's gone from awkwardly horrible to entertaining like watching Nascar waiting for that epic multi car crash.
I don't think I've ever stuck with a show and given it this much slack quite like this before. Lol
I can see this becoming a cult comedy classic in 5 years.
Colin Farrell has been solid though. I'm impressed.
I recently started watching the second season Eps 1-6 in 2 days and I think the show isn't as bad as people are making it sound. Definitely not better than the first season (duh) but very watchable.
I dont like that the show tries to pull fast ones on us and fail miserably. Like that episode where Colin's character gets a shotgun to the chest...twice and then nothing comes of it.
Then that face off with him and Vaughn at the kitchen table that let to some sobbing about you're the only friend I have. That's bordering on stupid.
They never really commit to pulling the trigger on big moments like that. Literally.
Also I noticed in the opening credits that both Harrelson and Mcconaughey are both credited as co-producers. Are they involved on this season at all? Because if so, their inputs have been crap and fallen on deaf ears.
Detailed pack episode Tbh..
Beyond terrible episode.
Nah, this episode was great. The only thing I didn't like about it was how Burris knew sex cop would come out that exit.
Damn, Vince Vaughn did some damage to those who have screwed him over. I'd like to see him and his wife make it out of the country, but I think he may get killed in the finale.
Thanks for the most depressing, unsatisfying season finale ever True Detective. No, really, thanks.
I defended this season for weeks, but wow after that ending I feel like I'll never get those 8 hours back.
So many similarities between season 1 and 2 in plot and writing.
Hilarious stuff.
That earlier scene between Vaughn and that red head woman was cringe worthy stuff. Yikes
They really ed up the last couple of episodes here. This episode put me halfway to sleep.
Season 2 was a total dud overall.
Abysmal season from minute 1 to the very dragged out season finale.
Hopefully HBO just learned a valuable lesson tonight. The finale and the overall season is getting shredded by everyone who has seen it.
HBO with a rare flop.
I guess I am in the minority with this one... I enjoyed the season and the finale. *shrug*
I loved how Vaughns woman told him he was a ty actor. Wonder if that was managements way of getting back at him
Nah, you ain't the only one bro. I enjoyed the season and finale. The only thing I didn't like was Frank dyingI wanted him and his wife to live happily ever after
Maybe I missed something, but here are some things that bothered me with the finale.
- Why was Vince Vaughn so concerned about the 3.5 million dollars in diamonds in his suit pocket when he just split a 12 million dollar heist with Farrell? He would rather die than give up the suit with the diamonds?
- How could Farrell be so stupid as to visit his son's school when he knew that the cops would be scoping it out? And why would he get back in the bugged car instead of just grabbing the money and finding a way to get another car?
- How did the Mexican gang know where Vince Vaughn was? Magic?
- What happens with McAdams' sister and father? They have to hide out for the rest of their lives since she is still a fugitive? And what becomes of Paul's preggo gf and mom? I guess they weren't significant enough characters for us to deserve answers?
Other than that, I also didn't like the fact that 3 of the 4 main characters were killed, the other main character ends the show as a fugitive, living in another country, and depending on handing off all of the evidence to a news reporter in hopes to take down a city of corruption. And we will never know if he will be successful. So at the end of the day, they solved the case, all but 1 survived, yet no justice was served, and we will never know if it ever will be. And just to make sure that the audience isn't unhappy enough, they had to make sure to let us know that Farrell's last message to his son didn't go through.

I agree... very dumb for him to visit school. But sometimes your rational is lacking when it comes to love, family, etc.....
He knew it was over.... when he was standing in street before he got in, he pretty much knew it was checkmate. Get to the woods for one last shootout, send your audio message, and say good night.
the way I took that scene, was that Vince was "put down" and/or kept in his place for a lot of his life... and when the mexicans wanted to put him in his place and humiliate him by giving up his suit, he said forget it...
Actually, I forgot about him having the diamonds when I was watching. May have to re-think it.
I agree with Ray's extreme stupidity for detouring. That is my main complaint with the episode. Several people were depending on him to bring himself and the money down south to start over.
Mex gang could have been keeping tabs on Vince Vaughn, or else just patrolling the general area around his clubs until finding him.
Only episode I saw and only saw part of it. I knew would get it when he thought he was safe. It's too cliche'. This one has jumped the shark. Oh well. Twin Peaks recycled.
