ya, that was odd. thought he was intentionally speaking some very specific code.

Fife ([ˈfəif]; Scottish Gaelic: Fìobha) is a council area and historic county of Scotland. It is situated between the Firth of Tay and the Firth of Forth, with inland boundaries to Perth and Kinross and Clackmannanshire. By custom it is widely held to have been one of the major Pictish kingdoms, known as Fib, and is still commonly known as the Kingdom of Fife within Scotland.

The Kingdom of Fib! So when she said "fife-dom," she was basically saying, his whole life was built on a lie.

Very subtle writing, you really have to pay attention.

how can you pay attention to wikipedia while you're trying to illegally stream hbo programming in another tab

True Detective is so subtle! Did you all notice the subtle way they showed how solipsistic and circular the demands of Frank Semyon have become?

gonna need… twoa those…
and… twoa those…
wait… two morea those…

hahaha

clearest evidence of how rushed this production was

realistic tho, he consistently misspells 'remmington'

also, jeeeeeeesus that's so many guns, and he only has like, two goons left (i think?) along with himself and his wife! solid choices tho

lol at the greek guys taking this raving nutjob seriously; they will show up with a nerf gun and a roll of caps

xxp lol benelli as well, but that's a slightly more understandable goof

shopping lists are a flat circle

also like, if we're really on a one-way ticket to crazytown involving vince vaughn shooting two guns at once i can't complain, i just can't

YES

ON BIKE

Maybe the Blackwater guy used riot shells and Kitsch will come riding through the smoke and debris.

Or the wife with guns blazing, that'd be nice.

i hope the season ends with some bad guy about to to shoot ray when all of a sudden an unmanned motorcycle comes out of nowhere and runs him over.

defending our fifedom with many remmingtons

(fee fi fo fum)

so, symmetry of ray getting shot in ep 2 & paul getting shot in penultimate ep; don't know what if anything to make of that (other than obv possibility it was same guy)

so we know caspere's secretary/ assistant is likely girl in photo; but we don't know anything about what happened to boy, right

people otm upthread re like irrelevance (or odd distribution) of mystery plot details; blue diamonds barely even macguffin

vv casting makes more sense now

frank's lady is getting more attractive the more gangsterish she becomes, hoping we'll see her wielding one of those shotguns in the next one

Boy might be photograph at movieset. I have no idea why this is significant... Also, blue diamonds is what bad guys sold to get into Vinci. But then how did Caspere still have them in his safe?

I'm guessing he kept a few of his own and his killers found them when they went through his house, brought them to the pawnshop to spark the setup, and so forth. clearly caspere didn't trust his partners entirely or he wouldn't keep a hard drive ostensibly full of video of their bizarro sexual doings

lol just when I think I have a good handle on the plot, I read this thread. Totally confused again.

Also I watched this episode with my parents and we all silently agreed that Ani and Ray making out should be fast-forwarded

i hope the finale is a musical episode.

if vince vaughn sings while firing twin AKs I'd be cool with it

i think we all would

w/ Owen Wilson as a DJ from one of Frank's past clubs, recruited into action.

shopping list of arsenal reminds me of breaking bad finale

Attorney General C.S. Lee is uncomfortably giving me cause for concern about what happened to Vince Masuka after Dexter became a lumberjack.

here we go!

stoked for the sadness

belated thanks to schwantz for that link, I needed it

"you can't act for shit"

This fuckin' show.

"What is this stupid song," Mrs. Kenny mutters, as she putters through some housework while I watch a television show

we get the death scenes we deserve

some of that was awfully bad

and in her final scene another bafflingly nonsuggestive expression from kelly reilly

yeah that really pissed away most of the goodwill it had gained w/me in episodes 5-7

Missed opportunity for a Glenn Greenwald cameo in that last hotel-room scene.

frank's final scene was badass

end scene was #squadgoals

For a season that was only intermittently competent and found its high points in hypermannered genre giggles, this last episode was by far the most cliche-ridden, casually sexist, unconsidered, unnecessarily convoluted, poorly written, desperately acted, inelegant splatter of self-satisfied horseshit served up over the course of the whole meaningless exercise.

i havent even finished it and u are otm

even that stupid train station "two weeks" goodbye shit was like OMG WOULD YOI TWO SHUT UP JESUS CHRIST

Sums it up well:
