There are only two episodes left but I think the finale is 90 minutes long.
Unless I missed something, how did that guy whose name I can't even remember(I remember him more from The Tudors than this) know where he would be exiting? From what that other guy whose name I can't remember said there are quite a few tunnels where they were.I don't get how the guy, who's apparently a tactical genius and badass, doesn't check his corners and gets shot in the back. They had just shown him use the landscape/building to his advantage and his tactical awareness. So dumb.
He doesn't need to know where he's going necessarily, just follow what looks like an exit til he comes out. Once he comes out, he can figure out where he is.Unless I missed something, how did that guy whose name I can't even remember(I remember him more from The Tudors than this) know where he would be exiting?

In the midst of being gangbanged by forces unseen. I figure I'd drill a new orifice, go on and feck myself for a change.
They were covering the exits, as evidenced by the car waiting for him.Unless I missed something, how did that guy whose name I can't even remember(I remember him more from The Tudors than this) know where he would be exiting?

I think that's spot on.Well, this sums it up well (warning, includes predictions ahead of the finale):

So many names you're supposed to know pop up and you just think 'who?!'.
They just repeated everything

The last couple of episodes were fine. It's just that in the grand scheme of things, and the case, it's near impossible to understand everything and everyone. It's mostly the main characters and their own stories who provide a plot you can understand.I think that's spot on.
Tbh I actually enjoyed that episode in the most part. McAdams has been the best thing about this season imo. Still finding Farrells burnt out gruff voice hilarious.
It's pretty much just paraphrasing Oscar Wilde: "Everything in the world is about sex..."Around half way through the episode I had to go take a dump, so I opened Google Now on my phone to the headline "True Detective. Paul's Dead". Naturally I was enraged at this spoiler, but then I realized I actually had no idea who Paul was and the only way I knew was because it was accompanied by a picture of Taylor Kitsch, so I didn't care too much then.
Terrible True Detective dialogue of the week:
"There's more to life than fecking"
"... everything is fecking!"
Still, it was a good episode overall.
On a positive note though, I don't think we were subjected to another season of the woman singing in the empty bar. Which is a good thing.The music has been a non event this season. That's a shame.
It's more coherent than the plot from Season 1, that's for sure.It was more a list of amusing/interesting things that happened in the episode.
I understand the plot, I get the motivations for the characters but the flow and mish mash of scenes just ruin any actual potential for an interesting story. Nobody can tell me this is a coherent plot.
Disagree, Season 1 had a pretty easy to follow plot which hinted at bigger things (cults, wider conspiracies and cover ups) but ultimately wasn't nearly as deep as expected with an unsatisfactory "bingo" moment with the green ears. At no point was it actually hard to follow (even with the time shifting) which Season 2 has been for more than a decent chunk.It's more coherent than the plot from Season 1, that's for sure.
Might do but I get the distinct feeling that Franks missus is going to be his downfall. Fancy she might have been at it with Blake or the Russian while she was feeling neglected.Anyone else think Franks decision to kill Blake before shopping him to Ray might come back to bite him in the arse?
Anyone else have so little invested in this season that they only recognized 1 name from that post?Anyone else think Franks decision to kill Blake before shopping him to Ray might come back to bite him in the arse?
"Remembering a minor character for an hour of Law & Order is one thing, but keeping track of names like Holloway, Burris, Dixon, Osip, Blake, McCandless, Quesada, Ilinca, and, most egregiously, Stan for an entire season is another."Well, this sums it up well (warning, includes predictions ahead of the finale):

Well, exactly. It was all those "hints at wider things" which made it hard to follow. There were almost a dozen different threads to the investigation you were trying to keep a grip on, until they were all left hanging, then ignored completely in the conclusion. It was infuriating.Disagree, Season 1 had a pretty easy to follow plot which hinted at bigger things (cults, wider conspiracies and cover ups) but ultimately wasn't nearly as deep as expected with an unsatisfactory "bingo" moment with the green ears.

The latest episode finally started to bring things together and some bad dialogue aside it was an upturn in quality and I'm actually looking forward to how it concludes.
