Just finished the True Detective episode! I liked it much better then the episodes so far. Although I must be getting old cause I could not hear them very well. I found myself wishing we had the closed captions on! They spoke so quickly and kind of mumbling, so I was working really hard to follow.

titania, I thought it was my AC unit! LOL This episode did make more sense to me.

[penguin129]

It was a much better episode. I didn't want it to end.

We always have captioning on our TV. Friggin' open floor plan, loud kitchen activities, and I refuse to set the volume to booming loud. Honestly - we love the captioning.

I liked this episode. I need to watch it again, though.

I do not like Vince's wife. But I liked their conversation where they both laid out their flaws and asked who was still in.

Agreed, much better episode as it brought the story lines together for me. Also felt more like last season with the ending scenes in the woods.

I'm going to put captions on next time!  I actually might re-watch with captions cause I really felt there was finally some sort of mystery and I was missing stuff.  

I don't really understand Vince's wife.  She comes across like she just doesn't seem to get how bad a situation they are in or is in complete denial??  I liked the fact that they laid it all out and it ended up being a positive thing for them.  I am not sure I could have handled another broken relationship.

Good episode for sure! I can't believe the season is almost over already. That went quick!

How many episodes are there? We've only had four, right?

I'm kind of caught up. We had some bad storms during the show and when we finally started it, many parts were cut out since we have satellite. I need to re-record the show and watch the whole thing. I did like what I saw. I don't really get Vinces wife, either. They had to move, so obviously the money situation is dire. I guess she would be prefer for the money to be coming in legally?

The preview for next week says only 3 episodes left.

Also @nolagal, you might be able to stream the episodes you want to re-watch online. I believe access to HBO GO is included when you pay for HBO.

I told H that while I'm not sure I "like" them as people I do like their "argument style" - they don't really yell at one another or intentionally cut  each down.  I liked how she presented the idea of adoption in a new light for him.

SPOILER: Click to show

{spoilers for True Detective}
Ray - Whoa, this poor dude. So the guy he killed previously must have been one that Frank wanted killed anyway and it worked out for him to be 2 birds 1 stone. I can't even begin to put myself in the place of his wife. There are so many emotions at play but I didn't like how she said "we need to stop pretending this story that we made a family". I would argue they DID have a family regardless of the paternity.

Frank - This scene with Ray next episode is going to be intense, I can't wait.

Paul - His Mom is shitty. I like him when he is with Ani and on the job.

Ani - She'd better be careful getting into one of those sketchy ass parties. I don't think she could sneak in any weapons (I imagine they search anyone coming into the party for a camera or other such stuff) I hope she can defend herself.
