True Detective Episode 2..

Coming up

 

[57stratdawg]

Ouch...

 

[tatedog]

That escalated quickly.

 

[57stratdawg]

Yes. Yes it did.

Think hes dead? Looked like a gut shot.

 

[tatedog]

Yes. Yes it did.

Think hes dead? Looked like a gut shot.

Looks like the guy is into torture before killing so he possibly just did something to incapacitate him. I need to go back and rewatch the scene without the shock factor. Farrell is in the credits for all episodes, so it's also possible this was some sort of flash forward or his character will be appearing as backstory only from here on out via the chick detective digging into his past or something. We already know this writer isn't past having characters survive incredible injuries though. I liked tonight's episode even before the final scene.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Not likely, passed up an easy head shot.

However, I would not be shocked.

This was a better episode than last week, but still focused way too much on one dimensional character backstories. City cop is a drunken bad father. Lady detective is into hardcore sex. Biker cop is closet gay.

The only major character with any depth is Vince Vaughn, who is playing the most cliche low level mob boss ever.

Liked the Lone Star beer sign in the bar. That was intentional.

Frank's relationship with his mom is so creepy.

 

[ScrotieMcBoogerBalls]

Yes. Yes it did.

Think hes dead? Looked like a gut shot.

My first thought was rock salt or something like that, but I think that second shot would kill a person regardless what came out the barrel.

I had a feeling that this season would leave a little to be desired, especially after the awesomeness that was last years performances by Woody and MattyMcC. Like Will Clark homering off Ryan in his first big Leagie AB, once you start out like that it's almost impossible to duplicate.

If he's dead, they spent a lot of time on backstories that would be likely wasted it seems. And I agree about the dude and his mom, I think they used to bone. Is he gay and won't accept it?

Staring at the male prostitute on the street.... touchy/feely creepfest of a mom.... can't get it up with the hot g/f.... multiple posts defending gay marriage ruling on SPS... all signs point to yes.

 

[Optimus Prime 4]

Rick Springfield was the weird doctor. Who does that make Jessie's Girl?

Can Colin live through this?

Yeah -- I think he lives through it, although in reality he probably wouldn't/shouldn't as it was depicted. His near death experience either serves as a secondary catalyst to what looks like it's going to be a somewhat redemptive character arc -- the first being the verbal beatdown he was given by his ex about what a terrible person he is -- or it's going to go the other way and he's going to truly break bad worse than he already has if possible.

 

[Xenomorph]

At that range, the wadding alone probably would've killed him.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Edited for possible spoiler:












Looks like he may not be dead after all.

Haven't seen this scene in the show yet either.

Frank's relationship with his mom is so creepy.

Reminds me of Jimmy and his mom from boardwalk empire. But in a trailer park.

****-stick a band-aid on it***

Didn't the dead guy on the bench have a similar abdomen wound that wasn't his cause of death? Seems like this is the killer's calling card. Farrell isn't dead.
