because eastern bloc women have russian accents? i dont remember the name she gives, but if she was trying to fit in with the other russian whores, then using a fake russian accent isnt a bad idea

It wasnt only eastern women, she used her sisters account and name. Thats why the first couple setences of that article made zero sense

Pitlor told ray about catalist the blackmail from these parties, land deals, Fixing the girls up for the russian

So they somehow knew a deal was going to take place that night? That the guy sitting in the chair is the Catalyst guy even though there's nothing to indicate either Ray or Paul would know that guy's face. Ray saw the Russian when he was dealing with Blake but he doesn't know the significance of the Russian. And all this happens in one of the first windows they come across. How is that not complete blind luck?

Also not sure why you keep spelling it as Catalist.

All i said was it wasnt some crazy coicidence all those people were there. Paul being right by the office was dumb but all these people being there is not

Not sure why i keep doing it either, the post prior i spelled it with a Y

Well, we got some tits. Blurry, hazy tits. But tits.

The name she gave was Athena, which I believe is her sisters. Also, not sure what she had in her purse that she gave up on the bus and, presumably, didn't get back.

Regarding the red hair: My hair was that kid's color when I was about that age (has darkened substantially over the years) and my dad has dark brown hair. So I'm sure this means he's not my real father

oh her purse probably has her sisters address so the russian mobsters are gonna go torture her

the russian accent thing was weird, she talked like a normal american to the guy who screened her before boarding the bus. i guess to the fat rich guy she pretended to be russian, for reasons unclear.

look don't question the competency of the 3 detectives in their assassins creed mission, what they did was some detective work. some true detective work. In fact as the car raced out of the house with the headlights off, they really missed a great chance for Antigone to yell out NOW THAT IS SOME TRUE DETECTIVING and for Velcoro to yell back ITS NOT TV, ITS HBO.

lool

I feel like the only real benefit they got out of Ani going in was that she found the missing girl and was able to grab her.

I think she did the fake accent to get away from Mr. Fatty as if you pretend English isn't your first language people will often assume that means you're dumber than them. If she said "I need to go to the bathroom" he might've questioned her why. "I need splash water in batroom" means you're not going to stand there and have a discussion with some one with their broken English.

The reason she's in there was to recognize faces as well as evidence of collusion. These are big fucking wigs so they'll be highly recognizable and the State chick probably has ideas who she can point out. Unfortunately the second she was drugged all her testimony because inadmissible.

I still think Blake raped Velcoro's wife. Not 100% convinced, but somewhere between 50 and 80%.

No way. DNA evidence is pretty indisputable.

Or a good idea is to have a plan at all. Any plan will do. She shows up using her sisters name, speaking in English, then randomly throws out a bad Russian accent. Why? Well, because as the article points out, nobody in the show seems to have any sort of plan at all, ever, nor display any competence, etc.

But, hey, who cares, it's easier to just ignore or dismiss anything critical.

Like, for instance, why are they spending tons of money, time and risk sending girls to get plastic surgery and trafficking them and backstabbing bosses to do it all so they can let some random chick on the bus because, well, she's there, a freelancer and on a list! Oh, her sister has connections? The sister working to solve the Caspere murder, who is a cop, who has busted some of these girls before (or tried at least) and whose father has connections to the case, the area, the murder victim, the major players, and the doctor intimately involved in the crime and conspiracy. Hey, who are you? Oh, you're on the list, sure, come aboard! No, no thanks we don't need to check your I.D. you're on the list!

As the article points out:

The other effect of making Ray, Ani, and Paul ineffective fuckups is that it more or less deputized the audience into serving as the only competent detectives around.

Which, I personally find is wearing thin. Especially when it's not them, but everyone involved. The show is built on coincidence, luck, ignorance, confusion and incompetence, and the best anyone can defend it is she used her sisters name to get on a bus so why wouldn't a detective going undercover randomly throw out a terrible fake Russian accent? And honestly, I don't have a reason for it not happening exactly like that give the context of the show.

I didn't say the other guy didn't rape her. I said I think Blake raped her. Maybe the fucking junkie witnessed it and that's why Blake fed VV his name so Velcoro would ice him and think it's all good.

I agree, they really are big wigs, so why send in the lead investigator of the case trying to bring them all down a few months earlier? Well, because someobody had to go in there so they could testify in court: Yes, your honor, that was the man I saw at the illegal sex part I secretly attended despite my boss who set up the investigation not being told of the fact, much less approving it. Oh, yeah, she asked for daily reports, but technically it was night, and a full moon which you know is the best time to ratify contracts so we just HAD to hurry! Oh, no, Your Honor, it was totally legit because, you know, the secret task force I was on while taking vacation from my position as a cop and using my porn star sister's identity to sneak into a bus of illegal sex trafficking to go to a power-orgy. Yeah, I did kill one guy, but you're forgetting I was on a secret task force!

Man, if she just weren't drugged all her testimony would have been admissible!

She's a cop undercover on a special investigation, not a fucking CIA agent at a Black Site.

Interesting theory, but What about the guy in prison who was caught as a serial rapist and has matching DNA to her rape kit? Where does he fit into Blake's master plan to get away with a single rape?

So she was raped twice and never mentioned the other? Or she was raped by Blake and DNA guy but she somehow only remembers one and there's only DNA for one? You're stretching here and I don't see anything that backs up that theory.

Is hair color your smoking gun?Understanding Genetics

to be fair, tv show logic is different than real life logic. if the rapechild is a ginger then tv show logic says so is the rapist oh and its colossally fucking stupid to use the sister's rl ID for this half baked heist and rescue mission. that chick is dead meat.
