SympathysSilhouette Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Is anyone else just desperate for a spin-off series starring those orthodox Jewish gangsters? LOL! Those guys reminded me instantly of "Snatch". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SympathysSilhouette Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Is anyone else just desperate for a spin-off series starring those orthodox Jewish gangsters? Which ones? The guy who asked for 40 cents on the dollar to fence him the diamonds. And his two big-ass bodyguards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkCouture Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 He only had a couple of lines. One of which was guiltily admitting that he was perving on the hot, scantily clad extras. This is the guy: http://i.imgur.com/ZH16g75.gif Oh, that guy. I kinda remember him. During that scene, wasn't he looking at Caspere's assistant as she was entering the movie set? Looking at that gif, Ray's mustache was perhaps the shows greatest loss to date. Ray's mustache is the star of the season (Y) He brought part of it back in the recent episode and by the looks of it the finale episode as well: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Frank thinks that too, that's why he showed her that dead man, I felt that she's 'guilty' in that scene at least and I expected something else after she stepped in the room, but tbh she seems like she's two-faced from the beginning for me. Like the article SS posted said I hope she betrays him b/c it would make the story slightly more interesting. One interesting piece of info gleaned from Frank’s 'meeting' with Blake was that Frank definitely wasn’t the original source of the erroneous tip-off about Ray's ex-wife’s rapist, and Jordan's reaction to walking into the aftermath of the meeting seemed like one of relief. Could it be that she was in league with Blake all those years ago? I've been pretty critical of Vince Vaughn, but I found myself really rooting for Frank this week. His attack on the Russians was such a ballsy and pleasing move from a character who's always seemed slightly out of his depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael* Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I did find Paul's demise unrealistic. He survives a confrontation with four trained mercenaries but then gets killed by a guy who just happens to find himself at the right exit? Remember that Paul entered the underground tunnels through another door and there were likely several other ways out of there, but somehow Burris won the lottery by choosing the right one. How was he even there? Slightly tenuous leap of logic perhaps, but I had wondered if Holloway could have been in contact with Burris after Paul tried to escape from the tunnels. I was unsure as to whether Holloway was killed or if Paul just beat him up. Every time I see James Frain, I know he's a wrong'un. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ani and Ray hooking up was unnecessary and seemed forced as if the producers thought it was a rule of thumb for all TV shows. I'm in the 'wish they'd kept it platonic' camp too. I found it quite refreshing that Ray and Ani had more of a respectful and understanding relationship than a close one. The fact that they stayed fully clothed on screen reinforced that it was more about comfort and affection, but it still felt like a cheap and easy move.

SympathysSilhouette Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I thought they handled it well at the beginning of the episode.Ani initiated things but then Ray protested after which Ani saw the foolishness of them hooking up as well.So why they felt the need to return to that at the end of the episode is beyond me.

PinkCouture Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 ^ And they are both located in a similar region. I do think it's a coincidence though You know what they say about ging-ers ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socio Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I've just seen last episode and I think it was great season. No one likes bad ending, but it's like the life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SympathysSilhouette Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I thought the finale was as poor as the rest of the season.Also, nothing in this show has any relationship to real-life, it's a fantasy with some noir tropes (though not a very good noir at that imho). I hope they rein in Nic Pizzolatto for season three (if there is a season three).He needs a writer's room and a producer who keeps him on a short leash. So little of what happened had an emotional impact, which is problematic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfstone Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Lame and pathetic finale, like everything before I actually remember the last time I saw something so overly sappy. It was a movie called 'The Counselor' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfstone Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 WHy was the show still called "True Detective" since it didnt take much to solve whatever little there was this season??? Also I felt a lil disappointed to find out Ray was father of that miserable fat kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkCouture Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Also I felt a lil disappointed to find out Ray was father of that miserable fat kid It was pretty predictable he's the father ------------------------------------------------------ Surprised Ray got killed but not surprised Frank got killed.

SympathysSilhouette Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 It was pretty amazing the extent to which the final was bad, even after a crappy season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SympathysSilhouette Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I wonder now if they should not just buy out Nic Pizz and give the concept to another showrunner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like he had exhausted all the intellectual stuff borrowed from Heidegger Freud etc by the end of first season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
