That episode left a Soap Opera stench all over and I can't get it out of my damn drapes!

Colin, not to be confused with Will, has definitely honed his craft and is a legitimate actor who has chops. In Bruges is a masterpiece, and rarely does he turn in poor performances even if the movie is b-a-d. There are exceptions. I'm looking at you, Daredevil. He's come a long way for sure. Especially when the rumor before he got his break in Hollywood was he slept his way to the top to get his shot. And, I don't mean with all the female studio execs, directors, or producers. *wink*wink* |

Crazy how one of the best shows to come along in a long time went to something so bad...so fast.

There are reasons:
1)Too many characters. --It would of been much stronger if it was just Velcoro and Bezzerides. Kitsch's character is so bland and cliche that I don't remember his name and don't care to know it. Vaughn should of had a more supporting role and less screen time in relation to Velcoro being dirty. 2) The plot is slow. --It took way to long to get really going on the mystery. 3) The location. --We have seen LA a million times. We have seen gritty poor LA many times. I think it would of been stronger setting it more in the now destitute and drought ridden central valley. Someplace we haven't seen a lot of like rural coastal Louisiana in season 1. |

Think of it as individual miniseries. You can't compare it to last season because it has absolutely nothing to do with it. |

Whispers of no 3rd season have started percolating.

No boobs. So insulting. Oh, they got too cozy with the intellectual lefties who watch HBO (plus me) that it's too insulting to show a hot chick with tits. (The New Yorker and Slate won't like it). We need the ball busting strong Wonder Woman character. That's the female of today - not those idiots who strip.
Anyway the show is ok and Vaughn is the best character. Don't care how it turns out but I'll watch. I guess. |

I don't care about the plot theories in the article, but I am interested in the possible real life source for the storyline in the 2nd season.

There really isn't any real occultism like season 1. More just like corrupt people being corrupt.
The funny thing with this season is that the government and those connected to the government are coming off as much more insidious than actual organized crime. |
