OT: the True Detective thread

[Comeds]

Much better episode than the first. Nice ending.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Stupid. He's obviously not dead and this is stupid.

Gonna re-watch the first season now just to rinse this garbage out of my mouth. Or is that a robot's dick? I can never tell.

If he is not dead, or at the very least in a hospital bed for the rest of the show then I will not be happy. I think he is dead.

I timed the aerial shots of the highways, if you remove them last nights episode was 13 minutes.

All in all I liked it, I thought a few of the scenes were good (Colin-Rachel as Colin was getting out of car, Vince making the payoff, Colin-Vince, special mention to scar faced girl). Not as good as any of the first season episodes, but much better than the first this year and good enough to give me hope for the rest.

I will admit I saw no good reason for why all the sudden Colin would stop being corrupt.

 

[Comeds]

Changed my mind, he's alive. It took 20 seconds to find stills of other scenes he is in that haven't happened yet.

Anyone else think Lolita Davidovich looks pretty good for being in her mid 50s? Anyone else surprised to see Rick Springfield's name in the credits and have to think about who he was in the show?

Yeah, the trailers all have scenes in which he's still around, including this one:

Also, Rick was the doctor. It took me a second to realize it then I remembered him on Californication and it hit.

I guess it was rubber pellets and they were just sending a message. That's who I figured Springfield was, I do not know that last time I saw him. He's looking good!

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Figured he'd be alive. Dumb.

I do not hate or completely dislike this season, but so far I do not really like it.

I'm kind of with you on this. Something is just lacking, I'm not as invested in this case or these characters the way I was with last season. The multiple characters and their back stories is too much to squeeze into an hour. Is it possible for a show to feel both rushed and like it's dragging it's feet to get to the point at the same time?

Nor do I.

i get the sense I will be questioning whether I like/dislike this season and before i know it its the last episode

chase scene in the hood >>>> chase scene in the homeless camp

Used more than one shot = automatic loss.

Also, the guy you're looking for is burning the car you're looking for at the same time as you're at the place looking for the car? Give me a fucking break that's some CSI bullshit.

One thing I've been feeling a bit so far is that in season 1 the show started out as a plot based show, the murder and investigation was the focal point. It turned into a character driven show as we started to learn more about the 2 detectives as a result of their work on the investigation and their interactions with one another.

With this season it seems like they are all about the characters and we're supposed to be interested in them because the show says we're supposed to. The crime itself is secondary to all of their baggage. Why do we care about these characters? What is interesting about Rachel McAdams character? Why should I care that Taylor Kitsch has demons? Focus on the case and then let all of that secondary stuff works it's way up. That's my theory as to why I'm still unsure about this season.

well ... i see it as "someone" knew that the detectives were going to start questioning the film company drivers and wanted to "frame" the kid that quit due to family reasons ... and didnt expect the detectives to be questioning the drivers/employees so quickly ... like that same night

they dint expect these 2 to be ....











wait for it

Agreed. And now Taylor Kitsch's demon is that he's gay and can't deal with it? That's it? God-awful writing. Right on par with that dumb ass rat story.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Why should I care that Taylor Kitsch has demons?

Im starting to get the feeling that dude is more mentally distraught about his homosexual romp than his time as a private contractor mowing down people in the middle east

what are the chances we hear the word "carcosa" again this season ?

The Yellow King would not have put up with this slow plotted mess.

After 3 episodes last year we had a great Alexandra Daddario nude scene, we had a great 1 take long action scene, and we had Lone Star beers being consumed. This year we have Fred Ward getting weed.

THINK POSITIVE!!! we still could get some sort of monica lewinsky inspired e-cig scene with Rachel McAdams
