Reckon those 8 balls were Kosher?

What in the freak did he hope to accomplish by confronting Read at the end? And did he really think he was gonna catch him? A 50'ish Jew with Crisco between his toes catching a brother from behind with a head start in his own backyard at night? Tonight's episode was the weakest by far to me so far. High hopes it picks back up.

Actually it was a great episode in my opinion. Tonight was all about the characters, building up the action for the plot. The hardening of Naz (going from sweet college kid to hardened inmate). The continued emphasis on how bad John Stone's luck is- which will surely change. Sgt. Box is finally piecing it together- I bet he already has a hunch Naz didn't do it. Prosecutor continues to push forward at all costs. Meanwhile the Read character enters the plot.

I like how it's setting up.

I'm completely disinterested in the prison drama stuff...

..All I want to watch is the investigation unfold. If HBO GO didn't take so long to buffer when you drag the slider, I'd fast forward through every Rikers scene.

Coulda done without the dick.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

[Dawgfan61]

Agreed, but it was funny.

 

[PineGroveBully]

Agree, any scene without Stone or Box they could cut out as far as I'm concerned.

Also it's a little weird that dude would get him to swap jumpsuits so that he wouldn't look guilty yet then turned him into a skinhead. Though I suppose he did the former to set the trap and now that he's got his prison pawn he's tightening his grip.

 

[Xenomorph]

He gave him the green clothes to win his trust..

...now Freddy is going to start doing things to ensure Naz stays in prison. (If county lock up can be considered prison.)

 

[57stratdawg]

Yeah, it was a dumb move to really talk to either of them on the street like that.
