Am I the only one that thought this seasons action scene was underwhelming?

Compare that to the one cut shot of rust cohle coked up and moving through the projects. While a police shootout was underway.

Even though season two wasn’t all that great, at least the shootout was a bit exciting.

This had me :beli:
I thought it was as good as it was going to be given the situation. Was going to be a quick altercation. The tension when he shoots Indian breh was palpable. Who watches true d for action?

Really enjoyed this EP, best of the season so far, though more confused on the 'who done it' front.

Nothing will ever touch Rust's one tracker scene so I expected the Trashman/Redneck battle to be quick work. Complete fukkery with the FBI taking out the rednecks and vice versa.

Really want to know what Hayes did to fukk over Roland so bad. They must have murked Harrison though. Have to say while Ali is my dude, I think Dorff has now caught up to him on the acting front, especially after seeing him as his old man version. That final scene between both was just :wow:

“Please explain to me the hardships and tribulations of being a white man in this country.”

Hays is too cold :myman:

It was super underwhelming especially after Netflix recently gave us that epic shootout scene in Hold the Dark

Saulniers direction has truly been missed the last 4 eps

The acting remains superb. But, they stretching the narrative out like a bytch whose box done seen a hunnid bodies. Lotta the same character beats have been repeatedly drummed the past few episodes and its starting to get redundant. West and Hays especially killing it too tho.

Native dude bout had ENOUGH of them rednecks :russ:

He's right tho. He might have been a little unstable but fact is they was gonna try to pin this shyt on him and he saw the writing on the wall. Said fukk it I'll take y'all with me :bustback: and that's exactly what he accomplished :whew:

Ali is just another level I say it every week he's having a ridiculous run.

The hotline call-in scene with a supposed Julia calling out dude pretending to be her father. That was intense, I wonder who she meant. Obvious choice is McNairy but you had two other guys in that news conference including the shady ass attorney general.

Loved the scene at the end with Dorff and Ali. Time for some nursing home detective shyt, fukk it what they got to lose at this point.

I'm still enjoying the 1980 timeline the most.. 1990 Ali is tired of Carmen, I'm gonna be maybe on my own here but I think Carmen's heart is in the right place, I think maybe she's obsessed with this case because it hits close to home. We don't know much about her past and every time it's time for her to speak on that she will just change the topic say something sexy or try to fukk, she don't wanna answer tough questions :patrice:

we have enough evidence to know what happened almost conclusively. Not the exact events but the gist

After the interview, there are only 3 possibilities
1 Man on the TV is not Tom
Extremely unlikely, as she said its "the man acting like her father" lol
2 She was simply brainwashed to believe Tom wasn't her real father. A less farfetched theory. Problematic because she said she "knows what he did", indicating that he was connected to the kidknapping. On the other hand, supported by her comments that she's a "princess", indicating a twisted fondness for her captors.
3 Tom and Lucy sold their daughter, or possibly both their kids into slavery. They've both expressed emotions going beyond what a grieving husband and wife would go through. Lucy in her interview with Amelia, Tom in that 1990 prayer scene with Roland (I will expand on this when I rewatch the scene). Additionally, Tom did pretty well for himself.

I don't buy theory 2 because episodes 3 and 5 put the spotlight on Lucy and then Tom.

The way Roland didn't respond to Tom in that scene was a perfect emotional cue - he didn't raise an eyebrow, he straight up condemned him.
