I was actually responding to Popsicle but while I was reading and responding you slipped in there.
Yeah, we all know. I mean, how often have you posted anything at all of any substance related to this show outside of trying to slap-fight me like a bitch?

And yes, the show is a complete train-wreck. Feel free to argue otherwise--wait, no so fast!--by discussing the actual fucking show, not just bitching and whining because you can't understand how someone might think the show is a train-wreck, but continue watching because it's still highly entertaining (the show too).

Sorry there really isn't much to discuss with a whiny little bitch. Not going to continually feed your need to nag and complain. Go find a husband if you want to do that.

Cool, keep just posting cunty, passive-aggressive one-liners in response to anything I post about the show.

Speaking of... some random dude torches the car they suspect was used in a murder, wearing a mask that looked like it was from the movie set from where the car was stolen, a block away from the house of an ex employee they were investigating.... and not one scene of followup on that line of investigation? Not even a mention of if they're going to pursue anyone at all? All we get is them staring at the burned car, mumbling about jack shit, then nothing. I guess it was more important we got more stilted scenes with Frank and his barren wife and him shaking down local thugs by explaining his dental history.

Directly calling you a whiny little bitch isn't really passive aggressive.
I post about the show. He post some shit whining shit about me continuing to watch the show. I ask him about discussing the show. He says fuck you I'm not discussing anything cuz you're a bitch.

Refusing to discuss the show and instead can't stop bringing me back up personally? That's pretty much the definition of passive aggressive.

My brother, when hearing of season 2, immediately asked me "Is it the same characters, the same two detectives?" When I told him, 'nope, all new ones'. He raged "FUCK THAT. NOT WATCHING DAT SHIT. It could never be as good if it ain't them!"

He has stuck to his guns.

Despite its flaws,Iam enjoying watching s2. The primary thing that keeps me going is this overall sense of dread, of nothing mattering, and that everything will go tits-up and some horrific shit will go down. With that said, I readily admit a BattleStar Galactica S4 style disappointment-bukake will burst from the screen leaving me sad and goopy.

To say this wouldn't have made it to air without the hype of S1 is completely absurd. Look, we all understand you've been trolling for pages and pages now, but either reel it in a little and start being funny or get the fuck out of the thread, dumbfuck.

Enjoying the season so far, although it's not as good as S1. Still has the potential to become great with its remaining episodes. Needs more tits.

If we werent used to his writing people would be more invested into the show and throwing out absurd theories every week. Like posted above, people were pretty much going to hate this season no matter how good it was.

ya know, popsicle is going way way above and beyond the call of duty on this show, but until somebody comes forward and puts him in his place by actually debunking his claims, insults are just going to fuel him even more.
come on, explain why this show is entertaining and intriguing this season. i need a reason to keep tuning in. watching for the lolz only goes so far, its mostly too boring.

No people put him on ignore or just ignore him. He was bitching about the way Ray brought up how Casper was seeing a psych and every other fucking thing. No one wants to read or deal with his retarded wall of text. People were bitching about ray surviving the riot shot which is obviously possible and since we have no idea who the killer is you cant bitch on why he wouldnt kill ray

Currently, i don't think there are any drama worthy shows ATM, so we're stuck w/ trying to get our fix w/ this. I mean i know both you and I are waiting for that crazy emo chick to throw that guys knife in the river episode of Naked and Afraid, but other than that, nothing else is really must see tv!

You don't think they would have looked at the start of this season, of a brand new show and ordered re-writes, at the very least, before airing this season as a debut? HBO shows aren't always amazing, but they're usually pretty consistent. This show has been anything but consistent, and inconsistency is the worst possible outcome of a brand new show.

Wasn't that the appointment point someone else complained about, that in blind hate was attributed to me, despite the fact I didn't even bring up in the first place or respond to it until challenged with defending that particular nitpick?

Why don't people want to see discussion on the quality of this show? Why does it offend you so much that people not only don't seem to be subjectively liking it as much as you, but can provide an abundance of objective reasons why?

Your best defense of the show, errr argument against me, is that it's 'obviously possible' to survive being shot with anything from that close a range, twice, with a shotgun? Hell, okay, let's assume it's normal to survive.... Let's also remember that in the show he clearly stated he had several cracked ribs... yet the only issue he has is having to wince and twitch his eyebrows a few times before going about normally and even being in a foot chase. Really, the best thing you can come up with is how plausible all that was? Of course, while ignoring how poorly calculated it was having such a eye-rolling cliffhanger at the end of an early episode that was the least suspenseful possible character death in the history of television. OMG, does he survive, oh, just watch the 'next time on' right after the scene ends. Phew, that was a tense 5 seconds of unknown!

Hell, Velcro isn't even pissed enough to go BACK to the movie set to continue the investigation of a stolen car related to his own attempted not-murder after it was bombed a block from where they were questioning a suspect and leads to a foot chase (that is no problem because it was only a few cracked ribs!). I guess Velcro read the script and realized the only point of that scene was the cliche push-you-out-of-the-way-of-an-oncoming-semi-driving-as-quietly-as-a-walking-dead-stealth-zombie so he and McAdams could share one line about corruption and show they're becoming best buds.

I mean, not even a theory that Velcro isn't investigating that shit further because maybe he's been in on it so knows the killer? Or is following orders/implications and is backing off to not solve the investigation? Nothing? Only that him surviving was completely plausible, obviously, and cracked ribs are no biggie, and oh well the car was bombed... we focus instead on rushing into a hostile building with poor preparation after only an inept crime boss realizes the suspect is a patsy, oh and after a discussion about how Velcro and McAnal are going to be targeted as the fall-guys in all this.

Velcro: Hey, remember that thing we said about how they're going to try to pin this all on us?
McAnal: Yeah, scary, right?
Velcro: Nah, we should probably run down the middle of the street directly to the building and suspect we haven't investigated at all.
McAnal: But the brass back at the office even questioned why we'd bring backup to an unknown situation and the mayor even twiddled his evil mustache saying 'be safe out there, muuahahahahhaha'
Velcro: Shut the fuck up! Geez, go suck a robot dick or something! I mean, if you don't like this script you should just stop acting in the show, okay! I'm enjoying it because I get to punch reporters and PTA fathers with no repercussions and still have people think I'm great because at least Vaughn got miscast and the shittiest lines!

i dont see how that debunks anything, it certainly isnt making this show worth watching, yeah the fake out shotgun blast wasnt something i needed a reminder for.

i fully expect some straight up canibalism by the end of that season.

Just now and earlier in the thread he complained about Ray not having any repercussions for beating up someone because he thinks cops dont get away with shit like that in the US. Ray is in one the most corrupt cities in the US, on top of that the father or news reporter have no clue who he is and he lives in a different fucking city. And there was repercussions from his wife, losing his son, and possibly one of the reasons hes seeing a lawyer this week. It's the who reason Ray has his redemption story, and so what if people like ray, people liked Marty last season and he was a horrible piece of shit


There was so many fuck ups in the one track shot last season and no one nitpicked and bitched about that like they are every little thing this season

Well if I was acting like people are on this season

Rusts punches the guy in the gut and throws him down on the ground and he just sits there until rust comes back
Helicopter runs a light over him with a gun to someones head and ignores it
punches all looked fake and didnt land
Rust is able to 1 punch KO everyone even punch to the back of a shoulder blade takes them out
The guy just lets rust drag him anywhere without any real fight and jumps over the fence with no problem
Rust could have just kidnapped the guy and got the information instead of putting himself in that situation
He slows down in parts and sprints at others depending on the timing

I dont care it was a badass scene but people wont let little shit like that go in this season. People were bitching birdman didnt kill Ray when we have no idea who the killer is or his motives. If Rusts started pulling teeth out and threw them in the trash when he got home people wouldnt care like they are with Frank.

Its dumb to like Rays character but cool to like Marty even thought he cheated on his wife constantly, was a horrible father, didnt give a shit about his job, alcoholic, bust down doors to beat up the dude for hooking up with his side piece, fucked up the case by killing Remy where they could have solved the case years prior

Who's saying it's dumb to like Ray's character? He's by far the best part of the show so far. And I think everyone agrees with that.
