True Detective 8/2

[easilyunamused]

Anyone still holding on hope this season will end up giving us answers?

I need mosdub for a preview. I'm Pacific time zone so I'll watch in about 15 mins.

[penguin129]

easilyunamused I just finished watching. You're probably watching this already. So much happened. The finale next week is 90 minutes. Hopefully they end the Season with a bang. Does anyone know if it is coming back next year?

what the hell? There's no way the guy would know that Taylor's character would come out of that door. Things better all make sense in this finale episode.

I said the same thing multiple times. The dude said the tunnels go everywhere under the city. No way he could predict that.

Exactly. Like please, make it believable. And for the life of me, I can not place that guy. I know I've seen him before. Maybe in the mayors office?

[goldenlove3]

They dropped SO much information on us this episode.. I had zero idea what was happening. TOO MANY PEOPLE. Like I'm getting the general gist of it all but seriously confused.

[penguin129]

I'll be looking for summaries to help figure things out. I think the guy was with the police department.

Just read a recap and they say it's "Lieutenant Kevin Burris" who is the thin, white cop that they were talking about last episode where the girl was killed.

He was working with Velcoro very early in the season. Same as the black guy that Woodrugh first killed underground.

Or perhaps Tudor England? He played Cromwell in Showtime's "The Tudors."

I was wondering where he came from.

he is also in Orphan Black and was in True Blood... so he gets around

Also totally agree it seemed way improbable he would be standing there exactly when Woodrugh came outside.  And thank goodness I had the closed captions on or I would not have understood at all what was going on.   

[easilyunamused]

I don't like Ani and Ray hooking up. They have zero chemistry.

It was fun to watch Frank take all the cash and set the places on fire.

[joy]

I guess I'm the only one who didn't think it was improbable?

Tunnels everywhere doesn't mean exits everywhere. I assumed they put people at the probable exits because I don't think Woodrugh was ever getting out of there alive. Even he knew it when he called Delcoro. And, if these guys were smart, they picked an area of the tunnels where there were very few exits to increase the likelihood that he'd go out a certain way should he have gotten by everyone. AND I'm sure they wanted to keep Nosey Nellies out the tunnel while shit was going down.

I don't know - of all the stuff that's happened in this season (most of it I don't understand) this seemed like it made the most sense. WTF were the chances that Delcoro and Woodrugh broke into the right room in that house and found the papers they needed within a few minutes? And they found Ani + girlwhohasanattitudeproblem at just the right moment? Meh.

[joy]

Am I the only one who doesn't trust Frank's wife?

EDIT: I'm not sure if she's doing anything or not, but something about her has seemed off this entire season.  I'm not sure I believe her when she's acts so loyal to Frank.  It could be her acting or it could be her character.  I don't know... but she's bugs me.

I haven't been able to lay my finger on it, but I always felt something was off about her.

[easilyunamused]

joy, it's so interesting because she rarely asks any real questions. I think if I walked into my husbands office and saw his employee dead, I want to know a couple details.

So, my husband asked me this question last night!!

"Would you have her reaction if you found that scene in my office?"  I didn't answer until the commercial break because I said...

"Me?  I'd ask how this happened, why it happened, and then I'd want to know how I could help.  Her?  Something isn't right about her and I'm wondering if she's truly loyal to Frank.  So, no... I wouldn't have her reaction because I'm loyal to you."

I think it is her acting. It reminds me of how she was in Black Box last summer.

I actually was expecting her to walk into that room and shoot him or something along those lines.  When she was asking how liquid he was... something seemed so shady.  I was surprised that Frank made it to the end of the episode.  I thought for sure he wouldn't.  

Also I agree that a lot of that party scene last week was just too perfect timing wise.  The beginning of this season was pretty boring and now they are rushing for stuff to happen and it seems forced.   

[cheshie6]

Watched it last night with DH (who was completely lost) but we're trying to build a fence, as well as getting ready for my niece and nephew's visit so I'm late to adding!

I think some things became more clear this week. Cromwell (Burris) is a Lieutenant and between all the guys we saw at that party and this week, I think it shows how far reaching this conspiracy is! I would say it's not impossible for Burris to figure out where Woodrugh would come up. If he had an idea of the those tunnels as well as in what direction Woodrugh was moving, its possible to figure out his fastest options to get out of the tunnels.

I agree that something is off about Frank's wife but I can't put my finger on what it is. Just everything, how she lied about being able to have kids, about how calm she seems, it's all just off. BUT, I'm wondering if as much as she doesn't want to be in the mob life, she might have been raised in it, so not much surprises her. Also, do we know how long they were married? We know he was trying to get on the straight and narrow, but how long has she been dealing with Frank's thug lifestyle?

I'm not surprised by Ani and Ray hooking up! It's her coping mechanism, and why she's in so much trouble at work. (Before last week) Both are messed up people in a situation that doesn't seem to have a way out.

I'm excited and nervous for the 90 minute season finale! I hope they explain it all but I'm also preparing myself for being really mad.

Andplusalso rablissful, I'm caught up on The Last Ship now, if you need someone to talk that over with.

Our internet was out!  I have a lot to catch up on (I'm avoiding this thread until then!  haha!)

[Andrea]

I can't even with this season. What in the hell did I just watch?!?

[emilie]

I'm sorry, this show is so stupid. It goes between being way too obvious and way too obtuse and it's hard to give a shit about any of the characters. Like were we supposed to feel something when Woodrough died?

So basically next week, we're going to find out that that secretary was the one that killed Casper because he orchestrated that jewel heist that left her parentless and then employed her as one of his high end whores. Or something. Right? Didn't they basically just set that up? And why are we supposed to care about the murder of some old corrupt douchebag again?

Also, calling it right now: Bird Mask is the brother from the jewelry store.

[mosdub]

FOR THE LOVE OF PETE.

We got 25 minutes into the episode and our net went out AGAIN. It's back on this morning, hopefully it's on when we are home to finish the dang episodes!

But but but they cut to his fiance in the hotel room crying. That didn't give you feelz?

And is that what is going on?? I have been so lost that I have not been able to make the connection between all these stupid storylines. I feel like I need to watch everything again but don't want to put myself through that. I kind of want to watch season 1 instead.

[mrsjene]

I'm just glad I finally caught up and can read these.

[Deleted]

I watched late (last night). I was not bothered nor surprised by Woodrough's death and I think the fiance/baby will be fine (once crazy kook mil is out of the picture).

I, like pp's, was not surprised by Ani and Ray hookup. It seemed reasonable for their characters.

I think Frank's wife is weird but she is supposed to be.

The episode unlike others felt rushed and information overload. I only care how Ray and Ani get out of the position they are now in; perhaps resolution with Ray and his son would be nice (probably not going to happen) and maybe Ani is healing from her childhood abuse somehow from all of this, it seems her family relationships are.

I thought the scene with the fiancé crying was a little far fetched. They didn't have a really connection for her to "feel" that he wasn't alive anymore. IMHO.
It's true, the show goes from so obvious to what the hell is this quite often. They really dropped the ball this season.

I thought she was crying over the telenovela she was watching. LOL.

But seriously thought, I don't know how they are going to tie everything up in a 90 minute episode. My husband and I were both so confused.

I think she was but she had that weird moment of "somethings not right" on her face.
