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.
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.
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.

Sometimes you're just a clerk at a shitty motel listening to muffled sounds of assfucking through the thin walls. What i'm trying to say, Ray, is do you have a reservation? Cause we got no room for walk-ins, not tonight.
It's a dog eat dog world, Ray. And i'm the fucking chinamen.
Glass half-full, glass half-empty. It doesn't matter. The glass is fucking upside down and we're all in it.
They say the early bird gets the worm. But what the fuck are you supposed to do when it turns out the worm overslept?
You think you can stop a tank by standing in front of it, chinaman? Well I'm a fucking fighter jet and I got a payload to deliver to Hanoi.
She sells sea shells by the sea shore? She's a whore, Ray. And the only sea shell she'll be selling any time soon is her own fuckin' clam.
What happened to the chicken who crossed the road? Nothing. It didn't, cause I am the fucking road and no one crosses me.

Holy fucking shit. All of the in the world to this.Necrometer wrote: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.
