This is useful. Half the time I have no idea what name goes to what face but I'll get there. Or not.

I can't exactly name everybody but I do know the gist of what's going on, which I wouldn't really if I didn't read reviews for the episodes and watch them a time or two again when they play on HBO later in the week. I would recommend it (if you've got the time, of course).

I would recommend it (if you've got the time, of course). That's true. I was thinking of watching it again when it's over. I figure there's no way all of those people will be that important anyway. It's probably all one or two peoples plan anyway. But I guess we'll have to see! Hopefully those papers they got will clear up some things for now.

Hahaha I'm not quite as down on this season as some, but that's pretty good.

I think the video would be funnier if they had him watching "blue balls in my heart" or "louche" or something like that rather than the s2 trailer. Still a funny idea though.

So I caught up with the entire season last night and I'm like, why are people so harsh on it? The atmosphere is good, I really don't know why people go 'what is going on?' when the narrative is pretty straightforward, all these cops are doing are following the leads. The acting is good and Vaughn is fun to watch. There are some stupid sub plots like the whole deal with the rape and the paternity thing and Vaughn's character and his wife's marital problems but other than that it's an entertaining show. The atmosphere and the music are the best thing and I really like Rachel McAdams' performance and character

Especially some of VV lines. I think it's decent overall, and it's definitely kept me interested, but it dropped off considerably from the first season. Which is what most of us were worried about coming in.

I think sometimes reading too much criticism of a show or movie starts people off biased instead of letting them decide for themselves. My mum for instance doesn't read online criticism at all (and I haven't told her what they've been like) and she really seems to be enjoying the show and Vince Vaughan in particular in it. There are a bunch of dud lines, it's true, but I felt the same about s1 tbh, so that isn't that much of a turn-off for me with s2. And I like where things are going plotwise and how the TD fandom is so into figuring everything out as if they were detectives on the case too, so overall it's a pretty fun fandom to be involved with.

Best episode of the season by far. Hopefully they can at least match this with the finale and finish out strong.

Do we still not know who's directing the finale btw? It's an hour and a half I've read but I haven't seen it listed anywhere who's doing it.
EDIT: Here's this btw.

I haven't commented here nearly enough about how attractive Kelly Reilly is in this show btw. EDIT: There're very few photos of her as Jordan Semyon online btw. Which pisses me off because where the fuck are the production stills that are always released online for other shows? We need images of her in these great dresses, man!
This one's the best I could find. Which is a shame. Because she's worn some even lovelier dresses in the show...
EDIT 2: And btw, I'm so stupid that I only remembered that she and Rachel McAdams are co-stars in Sherlock Holmes just now.
EDIT 3: Just found this.

It was undeniably a great episode of TV, still that review wasn't thaaaat good lol. Critics have a weird hard on for this show I feel like even though a good bit of their complaints throughout the season have been justified . The top comment on that review is great. Idk how the reviewer could actually believe Paul was selling Velcoro and Bezzerides out

And this is the first TD s2 ep. for them that made it above a B+. They even gave one a C+ (I can't remember which off the top of my head). So I'm just surprised that they liked it for once this year.

That really was phenomenal. Although, as much as I have liked this season in comparison to most critics, this does show just how good it could be if the writing was a lot tighter.

Great episode! That's the kind of shit I've been waiting for! Good pacing and writing was good for once.
Happy Ani and Ray hooked up. Some people saying it came out of nowhere but I saw it coming. Good acting from both of them in their scenes.
Very surprised that Davis died. Looks like they're on their own.
I didn't really like Woodrough but that was still pretty upsetting.
One dumb question. Who was the guy Paul met with? Was he a new character or were we supposed to know who that was?
