That action sequence was just so out of place.Honky Kong 64 wrote:I mean, for sheer comedic value this season rules. But that's it. I don't think I've even been that bored by an action sequence like that shootout. Freeze frame this post.
I'm indifferent to this season. It has some moments but it's really inconsistent with acting and pacing, but it's still entertaining for less endearing reasons.

Penny Dreadful was better this year than it was last year. Those episodes in the cabin are the best the show has ever done. Looking forward to how they're gonna bring everyone together in season three.ThePhillyExperiment wrote:Penny Dreadful started out weak but man it finished strong.

Sure, I'll finish it but unless it takes a right turn into crazy land I want this show gone after this season. Make room for Steven King's Gunslinger or some shit.
Not getting into TD that much this season. It has moments where it's genuinely good to me - like the dream sequence with Ray and his dad with the Conway Twitty impersonator - but overall this season just feels flat to me. I could sit around and list ways it could probably improve, but I'm sure you've all already heard it by now. I'll stick with it and see where it goes, all the same.

Re: True Detective (HBO)
100% this. and it's in line with the core problem with this whole season. there is so much plot development packed into all the dialogue that you don't get any mood or atmosphere. that raid was set up with like two minutes of explanation… and then they're there and guns and blood and whoooo. I feel kind of the opposite of what copstache was saying about the character development that scene brought about... things are moving way too fast on this season for anything to sink in and/or have any weight. I'm with HK64 overall.Wang Mandu wrote:Compared to S1E04, there was absolutely no buildup to the shootout whereas last season's 4th episode was all buildup to the ghetto raid and escape.

so maybe our prankster friend really is confused about the narrative itself...

ANNOUNCEMENT:
I don't think there's hope for me coming around on this season so all future bitching and cruel mockery from me will be in spoiler tags so people can opt-in for that sort of thing. I really wish everyone the best.

Pretty much. Things actually moved forward, Vince Vaughn's dialogue wasn't as terrible, and when people were standing around squinting, it actually made sense.Ray wrote:It was the least annoying, most informative.
