OT: True Detective... I officially..

[Xenomorph]

...don't care how the season ends. Oh yeah, I'll click on HBOGO and watch. But I don't care what happens. Last night was a worthless episode.

The orgy party was a solid 8 on the unintentional comedy scale. Ani and all the other Eastern Bloc hoes were all given molly and she's the only one who has a bad reaction and can hardly function? From the quick glimpses around the room all the others were soldering on just fine.

Velcro and Woodrugh crash the party but before they do they stumble upon a meeting between several bigs.. and what do you know.. they're finalizing THE deal! And to boot, they leave their Al Capone ledger in the lap drawer of an office desk. Wow.

Ani wants a cadaver dog at the shack in the woods? Why not just follow the vultures that "smelled" all the dried blood. Birds have an awesome sense of smell, ya know.

The Velcro scene with his kid?... Just stab me in the eye with a fork.

Somebody was smart enough to steal incredibly rare gem-quality blue diamonds. And then went to their local pawn shop to sell them? mmmmmk.

Pizzolato got so enamored with character development that last night we got lines from Vince Vaughn like "You got gold in you... Solid gold."

Just let the detectives have really crappy personal lives but be great at their jobs.

And I still don't know why I care that one crooked city official was killed by group of crooked developers.

I didn't even finish last night's episode. I'll watch it sooner or later (orgy?!!) but that show is officially not good.

One problem I have with the show is all the names. For Chrissakes, can we just name people Smith, Jones, Wilson and Johnson so I have a half a clue who they are talking about most of the time. I freely admit that I don't pay close attention though. I don't watch TV to be challenged by the intricacies, although when done well that's enjoyable. I watch to be entertained. Last season was a great balance of both.

There was a thread on here last week about how great the show is. Its terrible and every episode has been terrible. HBO really struck out on this one.

The Farrell line was great

"Look in my eyes and see that I'm not whistling Dixie." I thought it was all downhill from there. For some reason Dillon Day popped in my mind. I could see/hear him uttering that line in his best Slingblade voice just prior to snapping the ball. Yea the solid gold line was cheesy as crap. I think they stole it from a lifetime movie. My crush for McAdams continues but the show is just bad. Perhaps Woody and McConaughey just set the bar to high last season, either way, they need to really rethink how they are gonna do season 3 if they want the series to continue to be a success

I've been back and forth on this show all season, but last night I finally decided that there's just way too much **** going on for an 8-episode mini series. Sometimes less is more, and this season, there are just too many characters, too many side stories, and I'm getting the feeling that 50% or more of the three dozen or so stories are going to end up just hanging out there once the season is over.

Last night, I thought that the stare down scene between Vince and Colin(I have no idea what their show names are) was great, but it was all downhill from there. Then, I thought that the episode was about to be saved when McAdams went to the party and I was waiting for her inner freak to be let loose, but no... she just spits up the drugs, kills a dude, and then takes off.

I have no idea where this thing is going, but there's just no way to effectively wrap things up at this point. Too much going on out there

No one knows their character names because we are trying to remember a side character from 4 episodes ago that died. Nothing has happened, nothing has been set up for a payoff, nothing. 2 episodes left and it feels like they just finished the epilogue.

I just miss Stan.

I just wanna see the lady bartender with the messed up face get naked one time.

I thought the episode was pretty good, and the season as a whole has been pretty good. But the ending was a bit too easy last night.
