why is that stupid?

you think they should have the frickin' NAVY or something?

why bother with having a security system

I mean, it's a house. It's not a sex party in a prison.

I agree with you here, but also think you're nitpicking.

quote:

one doped up female cop is able to throw up the drugs that had already entered her blood and had affected her vision and mobility/balance

she was still fricked up. Remember the opening scene to the next episode? You throw up stuff to hopefully lessen the effects and the amount of time you'll be fricked up. And molly makes you nauseous. Throwing up makes that feeling go away. Probably hard to do your job when you're rolling balls and feeling like you're about to yack.

again, they're in a house. It's just a house. It's not a neighborhood or a compound.

quote:

I did think she was able to get out way too easily after killing the guard. But I don't understand why you or anyone else would think this place should be crawling with security. I mean damn, how much security is needed for a

See my above response.

The sex party scene and the shootout from an earlier episode are just too unbelievable


I agree the shootout scene was not very good and the writing lacked substance for a while. But it's also tied together nicely the last 2 episodes, IMO.

I can't do all the quoting and pasting to make my response neat, but to your questions:

-- they frisked the girls before getting on the bus and then passed a basket to collect stuff after they were on the bus; this makes no sense since, as they showed the detective putting a handbag in the basket, all she had to do is put a knife in the handbag and the hide it on her body once she got on the bus (yes, the could have checked the handbag before she got on, but then why give it back if they are just going to collect later).

-- as to the security at the house, perhaps I expect too much, but considering you have a house full of politically connected big name folks doing drugs and screwing hookers, I would think they would have security measures in place to prevent a two man team from easily gaining access. The Russian had more muscle with him when he went into the club to tell Frank he bought the lien on the clubs in a busy public place.

-- I'll have to concede the argument about throwing up the Molly since I was just guessing that it would be like throwing up when you're drunk, it does make you feel better but not immediately.

-- the other questions or disagreements appear to revolve around the expectations of security at the house where the sex party took place and, as explained above, I think I just expected security that put up more resistance than what it did.

agreed, they were both poorly scripted and preposterous.

So now they knew who left the party with girl and everyone involved. The cell phone being left behind is a biggie unless it was a burner? Idk
