Great episode. Easily the best this season.

Also we're now 6 episodes in and I still stand by this.

rly? such a predictable, bad twist imo. But agreed about the over stylized dialogue... Vaughn is clearly out of his depth

It picked up a little bit tonight. I just can't see the payoff making up for how boring its been

That was a f---in' massacre. Regardless I fell asleep in the middle of this episode and had to rewatch it and that's not on me, that's on them.

Nah last nights episode as a whole did nothing for me, and if we're talking about the last sequence then the one shot from last season was waaaaaaaaaaay better for so many reasons

Spoiler

yeah, i mean... i assumed that too. still, i rolled my eyes at the explanation, and the fact they tried to trick us into thinking they might k--- off their main character. like, that's the beauty of these anthology miniseries so just do it. i hope you're right, but my gut says its just bad writing.

the only thing i'm holding out for is the fact ray's shooter was wearing a bird on his head -- possible connection to the cult from season 1?

"Slow" as in weak start. I'd agree with too much. As I said, it was mostly a clumsy dump of character information. Hopefully with that set up out of the way, it will get better.

So Rachel McAdam's character is a freak in the sheets. Has complicated feelings about sex considering her opinion of her sister. (dat a---)
Ray had the best character building moments. Shaping up nice. Non of Collin's usual accent problems that I noticed.
Vince Vaughn is passable. Looks like he gives a s--- so hopefully we'll see him get more to work with.
Nice to see Taylor Kitsch get his second wind. His post Friday Night Lights work as been subject to s--- material.
The opening episode had to break in too many characters. Felt like Magnolia trying to keep up. Should be a good foundation. I'm excited.
Haven't missed Fukunaga as much as I thought I would. Hopefully that doesn't change.
Nor the cinematographer (Adam Arkapaw). It looks pretty. I just want more of a thematic stamp. Felt a little less purposeful.

I want to let it slide because it's Leonard Cohen. He's a great fit for TD. Way passed his peak unfortunately.

Restarting my True Detective thread from SL...here is everything known so far about Season 2:

Story Details
Season 2 will take place in California. The investigators will be trying to solve the death of Ben Caspar, a 52-year-old man who was killed and dumped on a highway with occult symbols scratched on his chest.

The second season will follow the death of Ben Caspar, the corrupt city manager of a fictional California city who’s found brutally murdered amid a potentially groundbreaking transportation deal that would forever change freeway gridlock in the state. Three law enforcement officers from different cities and branches of the government are tasked with finding out who did it. They soon discover their investigation has much broader and darker implications than they initially thought. Caspar’s 52-year-old corpse is found on a lonely stretch of Pacific Coast Highway near Big Sur—satanic symbols etched on his chest. It turns out he had a penchant for rough sex and may have been involved in the occult.

Cast:
Rachel McAdams as Ani Bezzerides, a Ventura County Sheriff’s detective whose uncompromising ethics put her at odds with others and the system she serves.

Taylor Kitsch as Paul Woodrugh, a war veteran and motorcycle officer for the California Highway Patrol, running from a difficult past and the sudden glare of a scandal that never happened.

Kelly Reilly as Jordan, Frank Semyon’s wife, a former D-list actress who is a full partner in his enterprises and ambitions.

Colin Farrell as Ray Velcoro, a compromised detective whose allegiances are torn between his masters in a corrupt police department and the mobster who owns him.

Vince Vaughn as Frank Semyon, a criminal and entrepreneur in danger of losing his empire when his move into legitimate enterprise is upended by the murder of a business partner.

No date yet for the premiere but it will air "Summer, 2015".
