You're right. They're not just simply flawed, they are truly horrible people lacking any and all human qualities of value.
On a different note, this interaction between John & Amma is pretty suspect.
quote:
Amma: Who do I remind you of?
John: A bad little girl who thinks she’s a lot cuter than she is.
Amma: Then you should stop watching me. You know how Ashely gets when she’s jealous.
John: I like to keep on you, Amma. Just know I’ve always got my eye on you.
Amma: You sure do, now.
John: It’ll be your day. Soon.

Sheriff Vickery doesn't want outsiders like KC & Camille coming into town upsetting the cart.
Two kids were murdered, it really shouldnt matter what he likes. And thats a pretty small number that came in after something like that, one reporter and one detective, much smaller than what would actually would happen, I mean the dude I guess would shite himself and not come out of the house if a tv reporter came in town. Its pretty ridiculous that that upsets him, is he that out of touch with reality that when two people come in from out of town it completely stops him from giving more than %5 effort in solving the case.

It's pretty obvious that he's lackadaisical because he doesn't hold the power in wind gap. He's basically the overseer and reports to Adora about everything.
Im guessing thats super realistic and understandable. I cant emphasize this enough, two kids were murdered. But he doesnt put any effort into it because he needs to do as Adora says. 1) Thats completely ridiculous and 2) thats not really the case/he's not necessarily doing that.

You seem to want this grand conspiracy (aka True Detective S1) which this mini series was never aiming to be that.
They are trying to make it realistic I would think I would like it to be at least a little bit of that. Dont really care about a conspiracy.

They've interviewed certain suspects and even found some evidence on the pig farm last episode.
How many suspects have the cops interviewed? They found the one little bit of evidence?

I'd be willing to say this entire series is playing out over month of two.
Fair enough, that seems right to me. Even in your typical small town murder (i've watched more Dateline than any 32 year old should have), the cops are hard at it right after a murder. Every single time. Much less two kids. They're acting like a purse was stolen.
FWIW i'm definitely not trying to argue, I guess I dont see how people arent more critical of the show. Or look at it with a "hey this is how things actually are in real life, not this Calhoun psycho dream world." People complained about how fast a bird flew in Game of Thrones, a fantasy with dragons and an army of dead people, yet it's no big deal about these ridiculous goings on.

quote:Two kids disappearing and then being found dead would not spark a huge reaction right away. Obviously, it would be mentioned on the local news down the road. From what I understand, Flynn (who is from Kansas City) wanted Wind Gap to feel like a town that's located in the Bootheel region of Missouri. I vaguely remember Camille saying something about Wind Gap having less than 200 ppl.

quote:I'd say it's par for the course if the kids aren't from well to do families are viewed as "outsiders". Which is something that seems to plague a violent town like Wind Gap. I mean look at the situation with Camille back in school. Everyone in town knows what happen to her. Yet it's become a running joke for some and nightmare for others (Btw, that entire scene between Kirk & Camille in the hallway was bizarre. "Hey I'm sorry for gangraping you back in the day. But I finally realized what I did was wrong because I have two daughters now. Sorry!")

The bike at the pig farm. I definitely think it was planted there. But we will see what happens next.

From the sheriff though? That should be pretty much all he's doing right now. Not driving around getting mad about street signs being damaged.

Yea I cant remember. But I guess 3/4 of them are the kids at the house party.

Yea that was just awkward. I haven't really thought of him being a suspect until now, it wouldn't surprise me if it was him now that you think about it.

Two dead kids, two interviews in a month. Yeesh

Adora/Adoras hand found that right?
Im getting more frustrated at this show the more I talk about it. I need to just hold off my dislike some I guess until the end. Although it's probably too far gone for me to really like it and given I hated Gone Girl and its stupid twist, i'm not getting my hopes up.
But im glad you're liking it! There isnt a whole lot of good new stuff out right now. Outlander is the show im watching now.

I think everyone is badly misinterpreting that scene. He wasn’t apologizing for gang raping her. He was apologizing for what happened to her, and for not stopping it. It was made pretty clear that he didn’t rape her. He literally couldn’t do it. Camille even joked that he had nothing to apologize for cause he couldn’t get it up.
He seems to be the only person that actually feels horrible for what happened to her. He also walked away from Amma’s little game she was trying to play.

Just watched this scene ( I do a rewatch every week). You are right man. Clearly this dude is different from the others in that situation.
As far as tonight’s episode goes. I think Jackie comes into focus a bit

Last episode sucked. Hoping for more action tonight.

2 episodes left?
Posted on 8/19/18 at 8:37 pm to Tigers2010
And there it is: Munchausen by proxy. Eudora all about poisoning her kids for the hero worship and attention and Amma is all about being doted on and paid attention to, just like her mother.
Posted on 8/19/18 at 9:05 pm to tylerdurden24
Well I think that episode should satisfy everyone complaining that nothing happens

Did anybody else notice when Camille was talking on the phone in the car having her panic attack the sign of the building changed from “queasy” to “English” i believe
Posted on 8/19/18 at 9:33 pm to Cap Crunch
I’ve read the book and I have no idea how they are going to fit everything that remains into one more episode. Guessing it may be 1.5 hours instead of 1

Yep, saw that too.
Interesting choice by the director to make her a visually unreliable narrator.
Next week looks rather creepy with the family at the dinner table

So Adora is more fricked up than we thought. Shocker. But does that mean she killed Natalie and Anne? I suppose so - but poisoning her children versus brutally murdering two little girls is completely different. Maybe she has an accomplice - Alan?

The way I see it she didn’t go out and brutally murder the 2 little girls, she was making them sick so she could “care” for them (when they were missing) and when they died she had to make it look like someone else murdered them. But there’s gotta be more to who’s in on the cover up
Did both girls have their teeth pulled? If it was just Natalie then that would make sense since she was a biter, Adora could have had her teeth pulled while she was “sick” so she wouldn’t bite her

John still didn’t deny killing Anne. Even after everything with Camille, the only thing he ever denied was killing his sister. I’m still interested in the part Ashley played. At the very least, she had a fight with Natalie.
The scene with the Chief and KC, it played out like the Chief was aware of the Marian cover up. But, at the end he thinks about Amma being sick. Not sure what to make of this. It could mean the Chief actually didn’t know what happened to Marian. Another possibility is that Amma is his daughter and after talking to KC, and hearing Amma was sick, it hit him Adora was now killing his daughter.

Ashley is definitely involved. Natalie’s blood in the room.. John said Natalie loved to bite people.. Ashley’s missing part of her ear
Posted on 8/20/18 at 7:42 am to sweetwaterbilly
I'm starting to think Amma had something to do with killing the girls because she became jealous that her mother was giving them "attention" even if it meant she was making them sick
Also still not sold the brother is absolutely not guilty. When he was making up that story he told camille abour the whole pulling teeth thing was creepy even though he was trying to make a point.
Also the last 2 episodes make it really hard to cheer for Camille. I know its not that kind of show but dang woman, get your shite together.

That sex scene between her and John seemed so out of place and so out of character for her.
