Did seem kind of stupid of Velcoro not to clear the house first. Dont know why this guy wargs into a hawk if he planned on killing Farrell
I am not sure Raven guy was in the house. The car was parked in front when he walked in watching the house I assume. I thought he was going to get shot as soon as he started going into the house.

Ending of that episode was awesome. Didn't see that coming. Rest of the episode was pretty flat. A lot of overacting being done. Also, the dialogue this season is just so cheesy and forced.
"I smoked an E-cigarette once. Felt like it was smoking me."
What the fuck does that even mean?

then followed through with "Maybe its just a little to close to smoking a robots dick, I dont know" which got Mcadams to stop smoking after picturing a dick in her mouth. Maybe he meant when you smoke a real cigarette you see and feel the cigarette burned away when inhaled in you which definitely isnt the cast with vape pens.

The lyrics were a lot different im pretty sure

I could not kill the way you kill, I could not eat, I tried and failed, you turned me in or atleast you tried, you side with them whom you despise but nevermind, I live the life I left behind, theres truth that lives and truth that dies I dont know which so nevermind
It was the exact same song.

Just listened to them both, they are different lyrics halfway through. Same song but different parts for the full version on the song. Also thinking the therarapist is the hawkman, looked like he was wearing similar suit from earlier in the episode

So why not just say "I smoked an E-cigarette once, felt like I was sucking a robot's dick."
The first line has nothing to do with the second. Follow that up with when he's looking through Casper's date book and says "Psychiatrist appointments. He was seeing a shrink." Is that what that means? No wonder he made detective! The dialogue so far is coming close to Star Wars level of bad, and that's hard to do. Very disappointing compared to what we got in the first season.

It had fucking just came to him, probably never thought of it that way until watching her putting it in her mouth. fuck quit watching the show if you want to bitch about a line like that, was he supposed to just say

Colin - He was seeing a shrink
Mcadams - how do you know that
Colin - He has a psychiatrists appointment

I can't believe this thread is this terrible after only one episode.
Yea, I am consciously stopping myself from participating. I added to the stupidity earlier. I stopped. I am sorry. This thread is in danger of approaching the level of gay that the GoT thread got when discussing whether Jon Snow was a badass or surrounded by retards. It was everything that is wrong with nerds, and I cringed something fierce.

Velcro just got fucking whacked and you faggots are going on about sucking robot dick? Jesus fucking... this message board.

Who knew Velcro was going to the house. Vince. The stripper. Fat azn lil' Jon. The latter two we will likely never see again. Vince, seemed to have a genuine friendship with Velcro, not to mention he kind of needed him.

So, was birdman just staking out the house? Why?

I really liked the talk in the car. Sucks that some people just can't get past the differences from s1.

If Velcoro actually dies, that would be intriguing television. Unfortunately, I think he probably lives and that will kind of ruin the awesomeness of that scene.

Brace yourself, I think we're in for an even higher level of terrible!

My high school girl assessment is that I am enjoying the show and I look forward to seeing where they go with it. I think I'll go post on livejournal about it.

Made sense to me. I mean, on the orders of a crime boss who has him by the short hairs he's investigating the strange house of a deviant recently tortured and murdered and the first thing he does when encountering a puddle of blood is holster his weapon. And you think he's going to clear the house?

Robot Dick line was fucking gold if you ask me.
It was bad. Not because the line is bad but because none of the actors have any chemistry, none of them feel like real people delivering real lines, none of them do anything but Eeyore every fucking line even the ones meant to be at all interesting, charming, bemusing, electric, interesting, anything at all.

The feminism quip? Way to shit on a line!

It's seriously like they're all hoping to almost win awards for best drama and they think the best way to do it is act like they've just slit their wrists and are bleeding out just as the punch in a line is about to be delivered.

More freeways.

The back-and-forth between characters is so stilted not even they seem to believe it. And if it's not awkward chemistry, it's just looking back and forth at each other like someone just farted. I don't care how dirty these cops are, how shitty their lives are, how depressed, at some point when being put completely inexplicable on an investigation you at least say 'hey, what's up, shall we at least bring some donuts' you don't just stare each other down every scene hoping they're giving out Oscars for best anti-social brooder.

VV was better, though, except for his monologue at the beginning.... oh, wait, there was another character on screen? There's at least a little chemistry and electricity to his dialog with a few other characters, just still not really with Velcro in the bar where that poor girl plays to empty crowds.
