      Watched ep 4 last night. Starting to pick up steam. There's a lot that has to happen between now and episode 8 to connect all the dots. Should start rolling.
      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

        Purely nitpicky tangent: the show has done a very good job aging the characters between the 3 timelines. Except for 80's Roland and 90's Roland. If anything, 1990 Roland (with his real hair) looks [I]younger/I] than 1980 Roland with the fake blonde wig.

          interesting. can't decide whether i'd prefer a connection. the chicken farm stuff seems like a red herring, but who knows.

            the wife/hays scenes are getting tedious. we get it, she’s a tourist and he’s moody and dealing with some vietnam shit.

              True Detective:
              overall pretty great. Not quite in same category as Season 1, which ranks as one of handful of best seasons of TV ever for me. But better than season 2.
              Spoiler for not really spoiler but to be safe:
              The ending left feeling just a touch unsatisfied. But that's sometimes hard to distinguish disappointment that the season is over from disappointment of how it ended. I think I was expecting a little bit more of a twist in the season finale, when it went pretty much exactly as expected. But great season. I loved the concept of two old guys solved it in the end.

                So, not as good as Season 1 (incredible) and better than Season 2 (absolute disaster): that covers about 95% of tv shows ever.

                  Well, there was the one last twist. Didn't see that coming exactly

                  I was a little confused by the last scene with Wayne in Viet Nam.

                    yeah, true. Closer to Season 1 than 2. But I actually didn't hate season 2 as much as most here.

                      1. time is a flat circle, and we experience everything at the same time over and over, and 2. wayne never really left vietnam

                        i don’t know what i think. agree with jay that it went exactly as predicted. i’m confused about why they wasted half of the season on the amelia relationship.

                          And the daughter thing, which turned out to be nothing. I guess just a dead end to show how far Wayne has deteriorated?

                          I also liked Stephen Dorff quite a bit in this season. Welcome back, Dorff.

                              On this we agree. It has improved each season.
