A few thoughts about the party:
Think of how stoked Vince Masuka would have been to go to a party like this. Now he gets his chance, and we only see him for .25 seconds. Why does the Vinci Police Chief have the haircut of a runaway slave? Overall, it was a much more interesting episode. Ray got an element of closure with his son, which will allow him to purge some of the negativity from his life. I think the scene where Ani had her PTSD flashback would have been better without muddling it with the effects of Molly. That environment alone could have triggered those memories, and it would have been more powerful. Now, I think viewers will just say "she's hallucinating from the drugs." With all that said, this shit is far too widespread to ever stay under wraps. Too many henchmen, too many underlings, too many guys with something to lose. It makes more sense when there is a small corrupt family like the Tuttles. Here? It's just too big of a conspiracy. |

MK Ultra, Monarch, Beta, Kitten, etc... . So, Bohemian Grove is the subject the plot loosely is based on. What the hell is going on? Like I said, these guys go overboard to varying degrees, but the video captured in secret is anything else but normal, and I can't think of one rational explanation for whatever the hell is going on. Maybe I just run in different circles, because I'm not aware of anyone that's even merely an acquaintance who prays to Muloch. If anyone does, let me know when they hold services. 4 Videos Of Politicians Confronted About Bohemian…: https://youtu.be/JsbKIiU7OP0 https://youtu.be/gnb_A9JQkNE https://youtu.be/HL6cxGg6yas https://youtu.be/s2_zOQrMHfw True Detective substituted the owl for a raven ![]() Yeah, totally normal. . . |

Ginsberg invoked Moloch in the second section of "Howl" as a euphemism for America, so if you know of anyone who follows a traditionally capitalistic path, according to Ginsberg, you would know someone who prayed to him. ![]() Regarding the other stuff: this show hasn't interested me enough this season to research further. Too much throwing of shit at walls, far too much vagueness (and not in the sense of art for art's sake but just bad character development and a lack of narrative clarity). |

You're spot on about the incongruity of a prominant plot. There's about 10 storylines that could be fleshed out to actually present a cohesive tale. The last episode and the one where Colin got shot were far from perfect, but at least were entertaining. |

‘True Detective’ Season 3 Cancelled? HBO Series Axed After Season 2 Due To Poor Ratings? True Detective’ season 3 may be cancelled if the ratings continue to fall, as it has got a little over 2.3 million viewers and HBO is thinking of cancelling it. Though the chances of ‘True Detective’ getting cancelled mid-season are low, it may struggle to get a third season if the number of viewers keep falling. Critics too are also not that keen on promoting the show as they find the plot a little too confusing. Many claim that it is the muddled plot that is driving away the critics. But it might just be that the show is failing to get off on the popularity front because it hasn’t yet generated a buzz for itself. The show got a good response for the first season. It was widely acclaimed to be groundbreaking television. What is surprising here is that the second season seems to be doing better than the first season as far as the viewer ratings are concerned, but critics still panned it. It might just be that the plot seems too complicated to them because they are being fed a steady diet of mindless reality TV shows that require little to no contemplation. It is sad that even after having an interesting plot line and some really big stars for cast, the show is failing to interest the critics. Slate’s Willa Paskins said that she was willing to give the show the benefit of doubt for its gritty philosophy laced dialogue, but after the last episode, she would be surprised if the show gets more attention. “Season 1 of ‘True Detective’ was hardly uncomplicated, but compared to what’s going on in Season 2, it was as streamlined as a bullet,” she noted. |

Something is amiss when a David Lynch film seems pedestrian by comparison for it's inclusion of randomness. I probably won't fully articulate the difference, but there's just a striking feeling that sits with you that Lynch might present something that can only be left to various interpretation, but however convoluted there's a story arc. TD feels like as if you read a choose your own adventure story like a normal book- one page to the next. TD seems disjointed and lazy in a sea of subplots that seemingly are discarded like a porn video clip. Briefly intriguing but then cast aside, not likely to be revisited. The first 3rd is a pretty good rundown... http://www.theatlantic.com/entertain...-ruins/399602/
