You can however judge the writing and acting of a show so far and conclude that it isn't really good at the moment. In fact, that would not be any different than you saying that the season has been great so far. But because you don't like dissenting opinions, you purposely hold those to a higher standard.

I'm enjoying this season so far btw, although it certainly hasn't been on par with season 1 so far.
that's all fine and great but there are a significant lack of "so far" in the armchair reviews given here on either side of the coin. there is no standard to hold the show to and that's the point.

Stannery too stronk :russ: So now we gotta wait an entire season to review individual episodes. We gon act like yo ain't doing the same exact thing in your first sentence.

let's discuss the below comment...we're not going to even take into account the fact we have no idea how these characters are going to develop.

...Every main character is shades of the same "cop on the edge" stereotype......

from what you know about the 3 main cops of this season, i want you to name a Television cop who's story mirrors one of theirs.

My co-worker even mentioned it too.

He had an interesting theory that Casper is really still alive too. Had me like :ohhh: when he was spewing out his tinfoil theories about this season :russ:

just thought: something that's gonna be important later on that was kinda brushed aside was what rachel's partner told her on the phone while she was watching porn....he said that someone called about the missing woman they investigating, and that the call came from the city/area she in....somehow all this shyt gonna tie together....

That's pretty much obvious. Did nobody on the internet screencap that picture of hers in the first episode to check if it's Kitsch' girl?

Also, for some reason I keep thinking that dude's scars and PTSD-tendencies aren't combat related but instead his squad found out he was gay, fukked him up real bad on some military hazing shyt (but worse, because black ops mercs) and that's why he's so fukked up and repressed. I dunno, I'm pretty much making this up because I don't want to believe it would be so straight forward as they're making it seem.

:ohhh:

maaaaaaaaaan please!!:stopitslime:

:mjlol:

I had the same reaction, breh.

His theory was that they basically made Casper's body unidentifiable (taking his eyes out, shooting his junk off, scraping his finger prints off). They only ID'ed him because they found his wallet on him. In terms of the show context, I guess that COULD happen but I don't think it will. I was arguing with him about dental records and someone being able to identify him from the photo on the ID :heh:

Interesting. I am thinking he participated in a gang rape of Iraqi women or some shyt, to prove he wasn't gay. Something messed up happened. Even his girl alluded to that.

lol not directing this at anyone, but how anyone is mystified about the gay angle, or the strong possibility therof is beyond me....it's all right there in episode 1. Strongly implied by the bathroom/viagra scene. The show is just laying everything on so strong, it's approaching a very well made (in terms of production values, music) dark, noir parody.

That 'The Only Thing Worth Fighting For' is dope as fukk though, and I have been playing that constantly.

Rewatching the ep its a good season but such a fallback from last :scust: the writing aint seein season 1 im sorry :scust: the acting too.................Woody and Matthew were on they GOAT shyt now we got Vince Vaughn opening monologues u tryin not to change the channel for :scust: this biker dude is an interesting character but the actor cant pull it off IMO he should be much better portrayed than he is so far.

Much better episode than the 1st, would've been shocked by the ending if I didn't spoil it for myself by coming here :mjcry:I know it's hbo but this season has started kind of slow and the one character with legs played by the biggest star the show has you kill just as he is finding his feet? :why: seeming more like the show is Vince Vaughn's vehicle to shine and quiet the haters which is a shame I came on board hoping to see another side to Taylor and Rachel who haven't surprised me at all.
