Re: True Detective (HBO)
Thought it was awful. Most of the momentum in plot development they had from last week was undercut. Any tension they had in the opening standoff was diffused by cutting away from it for no other reason then to check in with the other cliffhanger... which also landed with little effect. Vince havin...

Re: True Detective (HBO)
Dare I say that it was a good episode? A couple really interesting/odd choices here: 1)Cutting from the Vaughn/Farrel scene right in the middle of it by quick cutting to the photos being taken of the other crime scene as if to trick us into thinking they were gunshots. You knew then that they weren'...

Re: True Detective (HBO)
We can only hope that the season finishes on an up note and has better writing/acting next season. i haven't seen any announcements that a 3rd season is even happening. have you? They did so well with the first season that I find it difficult to believe they'd abandon the show after one subpar seas...

Re: True Detective (HBO)
Same ol' same ol'. Farrell still getting more interesting, especially since he killed the wrong guy. Kitsch is a worthless piece of shit, and McAdam's character is underutilized. But yeah, they just laid out most of what's going on with three episodes to go. We can only hope that the season finishes...

Benteke to Liverpool is a great get, it will be really interesting to see him with some solid midfielders feeding him.

Re: Marvel MCU thread
The Fantastic Four movie looks absolutely atrocious, and this is the best trailer they've released. It's going to be the typical origin flick, and I pretty much hate everyone except Teller.

Re: True Detective (HBO)
It's getting better, but at the midpoint through the season more should have happened. The cops still don't know shit about shit. The showrunners are working hard to give you something cool at the end of episodes to help you forget how mediocre everything else is. Going "Heat" at the end of this epi...

Re: True Detective (HBO)
Haven't seen the spoilers, but if Farrell lives after a point blank shotgun blast regardless of payload it's absurd. I suppose they could focus on his back story more, but who cares really?

1 down, 2 to go. These detectives are so unlikeable I'm rooting for the bad guys. Farrell is such an average actor, and I've discovered a burning hatred for Kitsch I never knew existed. Vaughn continues to be the best part of this show which is a bad sign. That monologue of his at the beginning of t...

Re: True Detective (HBO)
Decent first episode, but it's going to take another episode for me to feel fully at ease. This seems like it's going to be much more straight forward than last season which could be problematic because they could easily fall into the gritty cop show tropes (drunk cop has to pull himself/herself tog...

Finally caught up. I thought it was a decent ending, but didn't blow me away. I don't envy writers when they have to come up with an ending to a show like this. Do you wrap everything up or leave it open ended? They opted for the former. Honestly, I felt they could have gone either way with the stor...

Sterling would seem to be too young a player to be successful abroad. He's too brash, and I felt like every time I watch him play he's whining or sulking about something. I thought Can was very good for Liverpool despite playing out of position, and Ibe clearly has promise. They need a striker in th...

Adios to that 50 pounds, it's a shame Newcastle managed to stay up. Good for Pardew though, I think it shows how well he did with the shit he had.
