re: True Detective Season 2 Ep. 2: Night Finds You

Well I mean, how do you expect me to answer a question from an episode that hasn't been shown or a preview that hasn't had that in it? This isn't terminator

I mean, a bean bag gun would make sense anyway since the guy obviously likes to torture his victims before killing them. Shot gunning them at point blank range ain't his style

Fwiw... I found both episodes from S2 much better on the second viewing.

theres a lot of fricked up crazy shite bout to go down and anyone who has made it thru the first two would be foolish to drop the series now imo.

I've basically been telling people this all day.

I've rewatched both episodes and I'm in now.

I don't think many people could just sit and watch the first two episodes one time and know what is going on.

These first two eps definitely needed more than one viewing.

Seeing VV throwing the glass against the wall in episode 1 and being visibly pissed off leads me to think that he knew nothing of Caspere being killed at the time. I can't recall if anyone was in the room with to where he would need to be acting as if he was unaware of Caspere;s demise?

CF is not dead for sure tho. Way too early to off a character of his caliber. Going to be interesting to see how that plays out.

Way way way way too much exposition again.

There's a difference between philosophical ramblings and such as exposition to subtly SHOW the character (Rust Cohle) and exposition as lazy writing to just tell the audience everything about the character (Frank in the "basement" monologue). If that info is really needed in a short time frame then it should be shown in a flashback. That allows us to experience it (keeping us engaged) and to gather our own conclusions

except for that time that he, ya know...took a shotgun at point blank range to an old dude's pelvis.

I like the show fwiw


I never knew people got so upset about tv before.

Watched it again last night, and I had forgotten that Ani said 2 people committed suicide, 2 people in jail, out of the 5 that were kids growing up in the Good People place. Then her partner said a phone call went to the missing Mexican girl from Guernville (that's the town with Ani's dad's hippie institute). Definitely setting up for serious sex slave/trafficking shite. That ties into Ani's sex issues, and could put Caspere's perverted arse (and his shrink) right in the middle of it too.
