I really enjoyed Vince Vaughn last episode. He was great at it. His scene with Colin Farell, his dialogues, his acting, his delivery, Mexican standoff with Mexicans and then

"What you have inside is gold. Pure solid gold. You are gold."

Who the f writes this shit rofl

And wow maybe they should have developed this father of year Stan a bit more? "who the *bleep* is Stan" was trending after episode 2 and now it's made it's grand return.

^So it wasn't just me Laughing

I think Stan was one of the 2 guys Frank had pull that one guy out of traffic in ep 1 or 2 and beat him up.

It's weird that he was killed just like Caspere, that just makes things more confusing. Copy cat or same guy and he knew/saw something he shouldn't have? Seems like there's more to it than just killed by the same killer. The Widow said Blake was there asking questions...

Also Stan died like 4 episodes ago which is at least a couple months I think. Frank went there for a reason and it wasn't to mourn him.

Best scene of the season, hell the entire show so far.

"Do not be arguing, bitch. Yeah!"

I'm gonna try to use these TD gems more often.

Anyways, I sort of wished that I had waited a couple of months to watch the whole thing at once. When it comes to tv shows, I'm awful with names.

by Robespierre Wed Jul 29, 2015 10:14 pm

Yes Frank was the central character of this episode imo, he was great.
This TD has so many charachters that it doesn't rotate just around one-two as it was TD1 , so it can happen Woodrough was the central character 2 episodes ago , now Frank etc

Anyway I don't get who rates Frank as a scrub character , I think he is definitely good

Frank Semyon: You don't direct me, Khe Sanh *bleep*.
Ernst Bodine: I'm Chinese.
Frank Semyon: Then, go stand in front of a *bleep*' tank

( his quote in 5th episode lmao )

Anyway my favourite scene is still that on 1st episode also because that song is still in my ears :coffee:

I keep thinking about the last ep, specifically the Frank/Stans family scene.

The rapist had black hair. When Ray looks at the picture of the guy he killed on the flashback in episode 1 he said something like "thin, black hair, he fits the profile"

by Tomwin Lannister Fri Jul 31, 2015 4:26 am

Really engrossing episode.

by Tomwin Lannister Fri Jul 31, 2015 4:27 am

And I wish Prime Frank was there to give me that speech when my goldfish died about 15 years ago.

by Robespierre Fri Jul 31, 2015 11:41 pm

but Chad hasn't hair black but red exactly .. hmm

I mean and if Chad isn't really the Velcoro's son ? Although many expect he is really

by dmize Mon Aug 03, 2015 9:53 am

WOW

Spoiler:

Just read the finale is 90 minutes

by Amar Mon Aug 03, 2015 12:12 pm

Holy wow, incredible episode Shocked

by Firenze Mon Aug 03, 2015 4:20 pm

another great episode

amped for the finale now

I think Annie will be the only one of the focal characters left standing at the end

by M99 Mon Aug 03, 2015 6:39 pm

Wish the show was this quality for the entirety of the season. Knew Paul was going to die, as soon as he walked in there. Went out fighting at least. I see both Ani and Ray surviving but Frank dying.

Agree on Frank, I hope I'm wrong though

by Firenze Mon Aug 03, 2015 8:56 pm

saw some theories that Ray will end up in prison for everything that's gone down, (although tbh I couldn't imagine him not being killed before he gets there by people trying to keep him quiet) and we'll see him staring down the guy who raped his ex. Can see that tbh, with Frank dying and Annie being the closest thing to a happy ending.

by Robespierre Mon Aug 03, 2015 11:35 pm

ffs I felt Woodrough was going to die . Shame, he was a great character . he will not get to watch his son.
It was really hard to get saved even this time so I felt it could happen , he got a miracle already in that insane shootout with Velocoro and Ann .. . He'd done if Burris didn't come out of hiding , probably it was his first he forgot to check behind that nondescript door . The first. The last.

Logical destiny for a man used to fight against everything , a real "god-warrior" hard to defeat until the end , an anguished life , everything went against him even if he did nothing for it, as the woman to accuse him for having made sex ( probably the only man not interested to make him with her in Vinci ffs Laughing

) , even his former BF (?) was going to kill and he was indirectly responsible because he screwed over in it. The more he made better everything the more he got crap.
He updated the concept of unlucky man.

Great piece about Woodrugh here imo

Spoiler:

Anyway ... well , Burris, the man to kill Woodrugh , is behind everything . Dmize was the first to fuelled doubt about him if I remind well.
he might be even the Caspere's killer imo .

He 's extremely involved as the Woodrugh' murder testifies.

Tbf I feel sure he is the same man who wore that bird mask who shot Velcoro twice with a shotgun at point blank range.

Burris acts, moves himself , always at same way .
Furtively behind door .
Spying. Or killing.

Well It was a GOAT episode, definitely the best episode of this serie , incredibly captivating for the whole hour , nothing to do with some past episodes. Strange to think we're talking about same series comparing episodes so different for intensity

by dmize Tue Aug 04, 2015 12:05 am

^ good write up on Paul

Tragic character for sure. While there was more than one reason, that b*tch actress is definitely one of the reasons he became expendable.

Saw a screenshot on twitter of one of the early episodes where Dixon tells Ray "if anything happens to me, you burn my shit". Ray really should've taken that seriously. The photos he took likely wouldn't have been recovered. Then also there's the point his bf made, that it wouldn't have been an issue really if he was just true to himself, who he really was.

Anyway if Burris goes down I hope it's Ray that takes him out

by El Gunner Tue Aug 04, 2015 3:02 am

Now that was a great episode!

by Tomwin Lannister Tue Aug 04, 2015 4:58 am

Wow what a *bleep* episode

Woodrough is alive though ppl just relax, bullets were fake.

by M99 Tue Aug 04, 2015 10:36 am

This is a great recap, recommend it to everyone. Finally I know what the hell is actually happening.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2015/08/03/true_detective_season_two_a_guide_to_the_plot_of_this_confusing_season.html

I don't think even binging like elitedam said would help you remember all these minor (who are actually major to the plot) character's names. For the longest time I thought Blake was the Ethan Hawke half anaconda half great white shark guy until I saw the real Blake (tall guy looks like a creep) on the party and found out last episode that Ethan Hawke's name is Nails. Had no idea that the 70s disco cop (Holloway) is Chief of Police.

So it looks like the ones who killed Caspere are probably the siblings who were orphaned in the jewelry store robbery. Caspere's assistant and her probable brother the photographer in the movie set (who probably was the one in the bird costume who shot Velcoro in episode 2).
