Yeah True Detective isn't The Wire, a lot of people here get that already. I'm just here for The Story, not A Story.

Maybe the car ride scene was to show that even though Velcoro is keeping shit close to his chest he's still willing to be buddy-cop with her. It's showing the bond between them, building up to her get enough of a read on him to ask him how corrupt he was at the very end.

I expected the "bean bag" defense when explaining the shotgun...but point blank range, no major damage?

They were rubber pellets, and multiple shattered ribs doesn't seem exactly not-major to me. I enjoyed seeing Vince Vaughn let loose and kick some ass in tonight's episode.

Vince Vaughn and the gay cop are unfortunately the dead weights of the show, gay cop looks like he just needs to take a shit all the time and VV just has the same dead face in every scene, huge mistake casting him sadly. Also way too many characters, I have no idea who the fuck the dead "Stan" guy is.

I don't think Stan was meant to be much more than his goon

Vaugn was much better tonight. Finally getting into who he is and how we got into power.

Im enjoying the story between Velcro and Ani. Next week looks like there will finally be some excitement

, velcoro will definitely be wearing his plot armor plated vest and will get off with at worst some cracked ribs which will be forgotten about not long after.

called it. fucking bullshit. rubber bullets have killed peopleRubber bullet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. and why would the killer spare velcoro who is known to be on VV's payroll?

those things shot a few inches from your chest are going to do some permanent damage. vince vaughn was shit, gaycop was shit. rachel mc cop is just "ok", velcoro is still good stuff, but he isnt enough to save this season, this story needs to improve, pulling teeth from obese chulos and killer mimes is weak.

The killer might not want to kill innocent people? There is lots of different versions of rubber bullets and powders isnt there? I was surprised when he wasnt wearing a vest

Obviously the killer thought casper was a sick bastard. Still not digging Vaughn, Klitch is getting somewhat better

I couldn't help but laugh when Velcoro was being interviewed and mentioned fetish shit. (go to 4:10)

This season is beat. I've seen episodes of NCIS that are more intriguing than this shit show.

I'm just glad that fatass with the "Fuck you" grill got taken care of. That shit was straight up retarded.

They dun fucked it up.

First, phew, I'm really glad Velcro isn't dead! That really, really, really, really, really had me worried. I mean, way to leave us with a cliffhanger! Thank god those were just magic, rubber bullets or he wouldn't have been able to run after the perp that blew the car up right around the corner from them. Was cool to see the JabbaWockeeZ make a cameo, but would have been cooler if they'd all done a dance routine around the burning car.

I hope by the end of this season we get everyone's opinion on e-cigs. It's some pretty hip, topical small-talk.

Why do we never get the nitty gritty scenes that seem like they'd matter. We've gotten very little at actual crime scenes. Velcro accuses W of hijinx... cut to drink refills... and apparently while we were at the bar getting new drinks he covered the details. I'd have loved to hear them, too, as that seems like it's not only relevant, but the kind of thing that would show a lot with the dynamic of their relationship and characters. Ah, it's all good, though, since we now know Velcro likes building model airplanes!

It's showing a ton of range how quickly W goes between speaking like an old-timey gansta, to waxing poetic with big words and everything! Almost as much range as the event planner not being able to sound realistic in two entirely different bad accents! "I am an organizer" was cool because I thought after that line he was going to be revealed as a short-circuiting android. Almost as quote-worthy a line as "State police, cover yourself!"

We finally got boobs! It's about fucking time!

I like how often Velcro stares at the camera... it reminds me of e-cigs. It's like, when I watch the show, the show is actually watching me, maaaan.

I'm glad they cut to the family photos, because I wasn't sure what W was saying when he asked the construction guy about Soandso and the boys. Oh, it's his family! And when the mayor was upset, I wasn't sure so it was helpful for the police chief to state "the mayor is upset" for me. I've never watched a show that explains itself so well. It really makes it much easier to follow!

Reminds me, are we sure CHiPth is a repressed gay? Also, what happened in BrokeBlack Mountain and why won't he talk about it? Also, do we know if he actually let that actress blow him? It would be nice if someone would ask him about it already.

Awesome action, though. Velco gets show with rubber bullets but thankfully is able to run long enough to save McAnal from a speeding semi truck! And W head butts a guy and there's not a scratch on him. These dudes are badass!

What a crazy cliffhanger yet again. Will W and his wife actually talk tomorrow?!?!? You'll have to tune in to find out!

Yeah, you have seen episodes of NCIS.... that was one when they were interviewing people on the set of that movie. All we needed was the dun-dun as they moved from person to person. That poor last girl actor didn't even know what to do at the end of their standing-awkwardly-and-talking, and she just stood there confused, like in real life, like maybe she just spawns there and doesn't have a roamer routine in her programming I guess.

Calling it now: next week they not only small talk about making model airplanes, but actually build one!

You were right, though, if we just keep waiting it'll get goooood. Next week we'll finally get some excitement? Saaa-weeeet!

Well... I haven't made it through an episode of season 2 yet without drifting off or falling asleep... Ugh

I thought people said Fukuniga was going to be directing this episode. Turns out he didn't. Turns out multiple 'entertainment news' outlets are reporting not only did he not direct it, but the director in the 'two tons of shit' movie scene was a not-so-subtle jab at Funkytowna and that there was apparently a lot of conflict between the two during the first season and bad blood. Makes a lot of sense, I suppose.


I'm still thinking the fat, bearded, drunk cop (Dan for Deadwood!!!) is the True Detective. Watch scenes close with him in it. His whole drunk and incompetent schtick is all a game. He's on this case, paying attention, doing cop work, shooting pictures of gay CHiPs? Was that him? Seemed so. He only had like a total of 10 seconds screen time, but stole the show and is on to something!
