TRUE DETECTIVE on hbo - Season Two

said it before but people looking for bizarre tone and pacing in mystery tv need to check out hemlock grove

i saw two episodes of that, it was garbage

i didn't say it was good

I thought this season was supposed to be about the 'occult underbelly of LA' or some shit but other than a bird mask I've seen nothing of the sort.

it's actually about Colin Farrell's kid's occult underbelly

The Ginger King

Eric Roberts gets my S3 vote.

otm

Eric Roberts gets my S3 vote.

YES

Officially voting Kevin Kline & Lindsay Lohan for season 3.

seconding these too

ugh i just GIS'd "pregnant sonic"

of course that's a thing.

gr8080 i thought u were better than that

waterface if u really don't know who the characters are and what they care about, you should re-watch this entire season and take notes. it's not that hard to follow along.

just caught this ep again and it kinda rules. pretty psyched for final 2 episodes.

woke up crazy early and decided to await dawn by watching the latest ep. everybody otm that in the "dead girl town" context of current tv this still comes off semi-prestige, though i still think the stuntcasting will get less rather than more impressive as it goes on (though it's win-win if i'm wrong about the size of the stars or the quality of future seasons). i also think in the "dead girl town" context of current tv this comes off as pretty mundane, enough that it's still slightly farcical that it's named True Detective even if i respect people finding it intriguing/watchable (assuming they respect that i'll wind up watching at least two seasons of hemlock grove). on the fence about seeing the last two episodes, not bloody likely i'll watch 2-5. nothing about the episode or this thread makes me think i actually missed anything.

You didn't, really. Mostly red herrings and blue balls.

I'm looking at Velcoro's trashed apartment thinking: is this his old apartment or his new apartment? Didn't he get 60 days' notice a few episodes ago, before it jumped forward 66 days?

this is like a gift to you, ryan

last two eps should be 120 minutes of velcoro painstakingly rebuilding his model airplanes

this is like a gift to you, ryan

lol. Smiley should hand out Lonestars tho.

Life works in such contradictions, you know? Don’t get me wrong, I really want everything I do to be appreciated, to find an audience, I want people to think I’m good at what I do, I want to feel good at what I do. We all have a self-worth in our lives that unfortunately and by virtue of being part of human existence we look outside ourselves and see how we’re doing with our peers. So, I’m there very much. But at the same time, I don’t relate to the importance of it all with the depth that I used to—when I used to say I didn’t care about it. When I used to go, “I don’t care about any of it.” I really cared then. I just didn’t know how to acknowledge it or express my caring. I didn’t understand it. Now, I still care, but I care less really. And it’s freed me up. That’s the irony, it’s freed me up.

Farrell should play Maron on a dark, realistic reboot of Maron.

farrell is dope

I was thinking the other day, they should have just started this season from the shootout episode. like, 90% of everything in the first half seems p useless now.

i like the "secret team of burned out police" angle

need to see kitsch on the bike tho

otm. the backstory should just scroll in text at the beginning of every episode a la Star Wars. xp

kitsch shd always be on the bike, occasionally they cut to him, face flapping

kitsch has had like 10 lines this whole season

Ive watched this every week and i still don't know any names or what is happening tbf. i guess the whole thing is trying to figure out who killed casper? idk, idc.

need to see kitsch on the bike tho

mccadams hates her dad
farrell's a fake dad
kitsch is a dad-to-be but is secretly gay
vaughn is trying to become a dad but can't

i am the true dadtective

nah the case is never the point

afaik the burning questions are:
• what happened at the commune?
• who is the velcoro boy's father?
• why and how is frank getting shafted?
• did tim riggins solicit lindsay lohan? what happened to woodrugh before he came home?
• how are these specific historical burdens expressed in l'affaire caspere?
• will any of these characters go through a near-death experience and find the light?

feeling like I wont get to see the 40ft owl in bohemian grove after all :/

that was enough coke to kill a horse btw

the terrible music that played throughout the storming the orgy sequence reminded me of Body Heat

orgy music was a hilight of the season imo

you can't puke molly out of your bloodstream. this really annoyed me.

But I liked the orgy music. Loved the pulpy final shot. It's so stupid that he drives a charger but it's stupid in an awesome way.

^^^

yeah orgy music was great

that was enough coke to kill a horse btw

like sheesh give it i dunno a few seconds to work first

it was a comically large pile of cocaine for one man

he got the "Don Simpson" from his dealer

What CD is Ray playing during the cocaine vacuuming scene?

New York Dolls - Human Being

i get so distracted by the diagetic use of music that strikes me as hipper than the scene requires. That reminded me of the scene in "Looper" where Richard & Linda Thompson is playing in a massage parlor IN 2044

yeah wouldn't ray be listening to staind or?
