True Detective Finale 8/9

[penguin129]

So... I just finished watching. Hoping we'll be able to chat about how it ended tomorrow. I'm surprised there was no thread posted already. 

[easilyunamused]

I just finished. I'll have to come back tomorrow with a clear head.

[joy]

I found out the two things that I wanted.

I may have yelled at the TV when Rachel McAdams had had a baby. It was soooooo "of course, she did."

Frank's death march really upset me. Very haunting and sad. He was so close.

[titania]

I also yelled about the baby, as well as many other things after the show ended last night.

I wasn't looking for all sunshines and rainbows with the ending, but I could not have been more disappointed by just the incredible bleakness of it. I am sorry I wasted my time on this show this season. It wasn't even an interesting story.

I mean the message to Chad didn't even upload, like come on?! They could not even give us that!?

[mosdub]

I would have started a thread but H and I decided to try to install the Apple TV at 8:30pm. It wasn't as easy as we hoped so I'll be catching up soon!

I also did not care for the tragic ending.

Overall I enjoyed it but in no way does it hold up to last season's amazing storyline.

[goldenlove3]

Yea I definitely rolled my eyes at the baby. ONE TIME??? Screw you.

The rest of it was just like.. I dunno. Unsatisfying?

I don't know what Frank thought would happen. Why fight them over a suit? I think the diamonds were in his pocket but still. Of course they weren't going to just give him a ride after that. And Ray.. again what did he think was going to happen? Going back to his hometown being a wanted man.

[joy]

If he gave up the suit, then he would've had absolutely no money (diamonds gone). But, the way he said that he had made other arrangements earlier made me think that he had no arrangements at all.

I wanted Frank to make it.

[emilie]

Ugh, the baby thing had me rolling my eyes. So annoying. And you just know the other woman who couldn't have kids was just like "this bitch, one time?!"

I also thought the ending was not at all satisfying. So they all just get away with it?

I did enjoy watching the episode, though. There was a lot of yelling at the TV when Ray gets off the freeway to go see his son that last time. At that point you know that he was done for. I didn't expect things to end so badly for Frank, though. Depressing.

[easilyunamused]

I knew Frank was dead the moment him and his wife kept saying 2 weeks or less. I don't think the Mexicans had any right to kill him. He didn't really do bad by them.

I'm not surprised by the ending really. It seemed so obvious. I'm happy that Ray was the father.

I made the mistake of watching the finale with DH. He made fun of it the whole time copying the voice of the singer in the beginning and what each character was saying at times. He knew it was going to be Shakesperian. I didn't like how it ended with no real closure. No one was held accountable for their actions. I don't like how the drug out Frank's walk in the desert so long. I think it would have been a better choice for Ray to crash his car int he water or something and try to escape it. I don't know. Who was the guy Ani was telling everything to at the end?

I think he was a reporter or something. Maybe another detective to give all the info to be able to bring the bad cops to trial?

It was the guy who was supposed to write the piece earlier in the season.  I think.

I actually like that it ended with them getting away with it.  That's life.  How much shit is going on around us that we don't know about?  People get away with things all the time.  It's depressing.

I got the feeling the guy Ani talked to was a reporter and I was not disappointed by it. She and the baby it seems can be safe and the duty is now in other hands for justice. I almost cried (seriously over tired) when the paternity results were shown; the mother imo is a horrible human.

[helloerrbody]

H and I were beyond pissed at that terrible, heartbreaking ending. So 3 out of the 4 main characters died. UGH.

[mosdub]

Just finished.

I still feel like 80% of the content in the show did not relate to the main plot at all. Maybe it helped with character development? I don't know - I hoped it would all connect more in some way.

Maybe the point of this season is that there is no rhyme or reason in this life? Ugh, not satisfied.
