Yep that checks out.

I was half expecting them to stifle their yawns with their guns.

That action sequence was just so out of place.

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.

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.
Penny Dreadful started out weak but man it finished strong. Rose

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.

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.

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.

show gives me a what's happening feeling, though I'll cede that it's not one that could be fixed with any explanation

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

Biggest revelation of this season so far has been that day-drunk Mayor Greasy is this dude from Dark Knight

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.

Glass half-full, glass half-empty. It doesn't matter. The glass is fucking upside down and we're all in it.

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.

They say life is like a box of chocolates. It looks like shit and gives you cavities.

Oh so this show's taking itself seriously now?

I guess it has to, since there's only 3 episodes left?

Guys, I... I really liked this episode.

It was the least annoying, most informative.

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.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the episode. I just thought the "y'all batman now" part was hilariously stupid
