maria underfoot Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Did anyone notice the little statues that Ani's mum made? Their eyes appeared to be darker, like the eyes on the bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alia of the knife Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Did anyone notice the little statues that Ani's mum made? Their eyes appeared to be darker, like the eyes on the bodies. No, but good call. My other observation was Ani's dad remarking on V's past lives and the theme song, " My Least Favorite Life." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alia of the knife Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Any possibility Ani's dad is the Mayor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astromech Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I finally felt like the season was picking up some dramatic momentum after spinning its wheels for a bit, but the shootout totally took me out of it. Everything that felt real and well-crafted about the action pieces in s1 was missing. :agree: I felt the first few episodes got a little lost in the backstories of its characters. Now that it has started to deal a bit more with the murder and corruption/conspiracy, it has become more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unJon Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Why in the credits do they show the transit of Venus (or Mercury?) past the sun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elder Sister Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 This episode so far is very good. I'm enjoying the interplay with Vince Vaughn and pretty much everyone. He's really doing well in this one. I also love how we've fast forwarded in time and see the aftermath of the shootout. But please, TD. No more of the guitar lady and her sappy, sad songs. Gahhhhh. ETA: Holy CRAP. So Velcoro really killed that guy, who turned out to be the wrong guy. HOLY CRAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Pretty easily the best episode of the season for me. Everything clicked in a way that just didn't in the previous four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Some really good individual scenes, and I liked that the plot made some big advancements, but the editing was really, really weird this episode. Stuff like the scenes near the end cutting back and forth to each other for no apparent reason, VV and KR's fight scene in the middle broken up by some other scene, the DA bringing the team back together happening out of nowhere and so quickly after RM tried to get him investigating again. It flowed really oddly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Really good episode, I'd probably agree it's the best of the season so far. Ani in the Sexual harassment meeting had me cracking up. :lol: Damn, Rick Springfield took a beating. Velcoro was surprisingly restrained with Frank at the end there. I expected some serious fireworks. Maybe next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igziabeher Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 It's in Velcoro's best interest to keep his anger in his back pocket, and use his tailing of Semyon's employee(can't remember his name) to get as much info from Frank as needed. But yeah, great episode, I'm officially invested in these characters. They may even have a better finish than season 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowCastle Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I loved every second of episode 5. I'm embracing the camp dialogue, the pulp, the coincidences. All of a sudden, with the time jump, I find myself much more invested in the characters, especially Ani, Jordan, and Frank. I really liked the club scene with the last two where Jordan tells Frank to come home and he second guesses the glass of whiskey. Intriguing stuff up north, poor Ray, Dr. Rick beat down,and two-faced Dixon, I'm all in. Sigh, just like I dove into last season's rabbit hole...

Francis Buck Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I liked this one. Felt this was a good start to the season. edit: RIP Velcoro's moustache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Finally an episode that got me excited about this season and I guess Dixon wasn't lying when he told Ray earlier that he wanted him to burn all his stuff when he died. Velcoro's scene next week with Frank is gonna be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unJon Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Really enjoyed the episode. Show is picking up momentum at the right time. Acting was up a notch all around. I'm into the conspiracy. Looking forward to see how it all played out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Farrell was great in the scene where Brianna Barksdale told him about the rapist being caught. Definitely continues to be the stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowCastle Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 So whose arterial spray do we think was in that cabin? I say missing girl. Also, is there some kind of snuff film connection? I have to watch again, I feel like it was alluded to when they were talking about the hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowCastle Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 It looks like Bezzerides may get to straighten out that God-awful color job next week. WOOT!!! Naah, I bet it's a wig. But she does look beautiful with the dark hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
