Best episode of the season. Good to see some actual direction in the show!

Yes it is coming together. I'm still thinking too many leads for such a short series. It's hard to build character depth that way. I don't feel attached to any of the characters.

Last 2 episodes was great!!

Another good one. Feels like so much is going to have to happen over these next 2 episodes.

That scene at the house at the end was wild...the background music was so weird but I liked it.

Who the fuck is Stan? The really should have given us a little more info about him.

Yeah, the whole focus on Stan has been strange. I think he was in the 1st episode as one of Frank's guys?

WhatYouTaughtMe

So we knew at least one of them had to die right? What does everyone think? Is Frank going to make it?

One of the better episodes. They kept saying all these different names and it's difficult remembering who is who. I can't even remember the name of the guy that shot Riggins.

Yeah, that was a really good episode. Completely agree with it being difficult to remember all of the different names of all these characters. It was Burris who shot him at the end....one of the guys from the Vinci PD. And I only know his name because I looked it up.

agree also. I had no clue who the guy was that did the shooting at the end. i know i've seen him before but wasn't sure who he was right off hand.

last couple weeks have been really good. can't wait to see how this wraps up. hour and half final episode next week so a bit more time to come to a conclusion.

and i say yes Frank makes it.

Yeah, I think Frank is going to make it too. Contrary to what most are saying,I think Vince Vaughn has been great in this role. First episode or 2 were a little rough for him, but he has been very good since then.

agree Vaughn wasn't very good in the 1st 2 episodes but has been good since. Farrell and McAdams have been great from the beginning. Farrell to me has been a revelation. never was a fan but he's been great in this.

Same with Farrell but replace True Detective with In Bruges. Couldn't stand him until that movie.

BTW, I finally saw his breakthrough role, Tigerland, on HBO Now a few months ago and he's great in that.

He turned the corner for me in Horrible Bosses.

In Bruges is a very unappreciated movie. Loved it.

F Me In The Brain

Just caught up with the last two episodes the last two evenings...very interested to see where it goes.

I agree that things have really turned up and it will end well.

The sound is difficult for this, as it was last year -- have to turn the volume way up to hear (Insert Character who Mumbles Here)

Was sorry to see Riggins get wasted but liked watching him take out that crew before.
I say Double Down Trent dies after exacting his revenge
His wife from Sherlock Holmes has those large cannons finally fall out. I dig her role but would dig that too.
The other Sherlock Holmes lady, our hot mess of a Detective will live. Loved her scene telling how she had been waiting for someone to try that for a long time after she cut the guy up and down.

I think Colin Farrell / Alexander / Phone Booth will die saving hot mess detective.

Love the bad Russian dude and hope there is a big face-off with Trent next week. Loved him in Sons of Anarchy and those awesome commercials he used to do where he kissed his golden giraffe for Direct TV.

I think Stan comes back from the dead and saves the day.

Finale was OK. Farrell, McAdams, and Vaughn had really good individual performances for the season, but the plot was just too fucking confusing most of the time. Definitely felt like I was saying "who the hell is that guy?" to myself constantly throughout the season. Not the best, but still a lot better than most shows on TV these days.

Agree. A longer season would have given them more time to flesh the characters out. The finale was a little all over the place.

Longer season would have helped with that many characters. but overall, I really enjoyed the season. Unlike Season 1 where they only took down the lawnmower man and could not get into the the bigger picture of the power behind the Cult and its kidnappings. This season the "detectives" were in way over the heads and ended up losing.
