True Detective / SNS 7-26

[cheshie6]

This is the Sunday Night Shows (SNS) thread! While it tends to be HBO shows we focus on it can be any show you want to talk about that airs tonight! There's only 3 episodes remaining of True Detective. If you're not watching TD, what are you watching this evening?

Modification to change date in title!

[mosdub]

YAY! Thanks for starting cheshie6

This is the first week we have HBOnow instead of cable. I have absolutely no idea when the episode will become available - right at 9pm or later? Anyone know? HALP. I google and it tells me nothing.


I'm also watching:
Masters of Sex (showtime)
Ray Donovan (showtime)
Ballers and The Brink (HBO)

pippacricket, So funny I double checked everything in the message, had a separate window open to make sure nobody else posts, but didn't think twice about title!?!

[cheshie6]

Anyone else watch previous episode on HBO2?

We always watch the previous episode before the new one.

WOW.  

SPOILER: Click to show

{True Detective Spoiler}Holy shit. What a crazy ending.

I felt so bad for Ani but am so happy she got her girl and got the fuck out of that hell hole. Was the girl she rescued the one that Vaughn's character was also looking for? If so, who was the chick that the Mexicans murdered? I can't keep these story lines straight. I also can't figure out the significance of the blue diamonds.

I'll have to read some summaries online I think.

Girl Ani saved is not the same girl. The girl that was murdered was the girl Vaughn was looking for.

Thanks!  Just when I think I have it figured out I get all mixed up again.  Is there some TD flow chart somewhere?

With how horrible this season is, there should be. They made it way too complicated. They are going to need to do magic to clear everything up in two episodes.

[joy]

That ending was intense.

The music choice for the party/guys outside was ....interesting.

Yes.  

During that scene I heard my H say "This music is making this feel like...." and he sort of trailed off.  It was weird.  Not sure it was bad - just weird. 

[cheshie6]

I was just like wow! mosdub, I was confused too about which girl was the one needed by whom. I'm also not liking that all this is turning into a thing about blue diamonds. Where were these blue diamonds in the beginning? Am I just that slow and didn't notice them or think they were important?

WHY ARE SECOND SEASONS SUCKING?!

True Detective is awful.

The Strain is horrid.

I need new shows.

Ray Donovan isn't so bad. Last night was episode 3 of Season 3. My husband and I are two behind, though.

My h and his family all love and watch Ray. This latest episode was really good (at least I loved it) but it is getting very sad.

I was disappointed with the conversation between Ray and Frank. I felt so excited for it to happen after last week and it kind of disappointed. I'm glad Ani got her girl as well and the guys were there to back them up. The big full moon at the end also stood out for me. I'll be looking at summaries later too.

Yes, the conversation between Ray and Frank wasn't what I was expecting either, but I like how Frank has a way with word in deescalating a situation.  The talk he gave his deceased friend's son was also really great.  

Ray's binge left me thinking he was going to OD.  I don't know much anything about coke, but that seemed like a whole hell of a lot of cocaine he was snorting.  PLUS a whole hell of a lot of alcohol he was drinking.  Anyway - how did everyone like his decision to give up paternal rights?  I think that that could have been the most selfless thing hes done for his son.  I agree that his son does not need to ever know his true paternity.  What good would that do, really?  I'm all for honesty but I can't for the life of me think why or how this information would ever benefit the son...

[mosdub]

I appreciated this summary/review -- it's easy to read and makes me feel validated that I still don't know what the hell is going on with TD. 

[Deleted]

I didn't watch because arguing with dh instead, but I did read the spoilers as I'll watch anyway! ugh now I have to wait until tonight.

I can't even imagine what a kid that age would go through finding out his bio dad was really a rapist. If she was going to tell him, that would be extremely stupid.

[goldenlove3]

BTW did anyone else totally expect the rapist to have red hair? They didn't show the top of his head at first and I thought he'd sit down and have flaming red hair.

I like that Chad looks like neither of them. Or her.

Where the hell did Chad come from?

Yes!! Frank has a way with words. It's very interesting.
