Just this: "We no longer welcome judgment."
Doesn't fix the scripts.
I guess but it's a start.
I think its my most "clever" quip on the whole plot of this show.
I am so glad about the positive remarks! It took a lot of time to make, maybe I should start a Patreon or something? I want to be able to do the whole season.
I know. what a twist right?
HBO should hire Veena Sud as co-writer.
These 8 minutes made me happier than the 8 hours of bullshit I watched that led to this. THANK YOU

I'd love to see the next ones, absolutely loved it.
EDIT: Just rewatched it. The raid scene is so good.
Also, not sure if you do all the voices, but someone has a very Lemongrab/Justin Roiland thing going on, it's perfect.
I tweeted it to Matt Zoller Seitz and he retweeted it. Hope it gets you some hits!

Watching the finale right now. Then this came on screen.
In show: A greyhound bus terminal.
In reality: San Pedro World Cruise terminal bus lot.
I used to work in that bus lot as the supervisor dispatching transfer from the airport and shore ex stuff. I spent years of my life where where they are standing. I would recognize it anywhere.

Have watched this twice now and laughed hard both times, so thanks for that.

It happens. Live in California long enough and you see a lot of shit that's supposed to be other places. I laugh when small towns in the south are actually places in the Central Valley.
Yeah, the voices were brilliant. Also loled at the Cohen song.

This is amazing because it's funny, yet also depressing because it's about 1000x more entertaining than the show was.
Okay I am for real working on episode 2 now. Some other shows on my hitlist (doesn't mean I don't like them I just feel like it would be entertaining)
1.Masterchef
2.Hannibal
3.Walking dead pretty much writes itself.
4.movies.
any ideas or requests just comment on youtube.
like, subscribe, all that bullshit lol.
Also I would use help on the channel name.

I was watching it yesterday and I couldn't stop thinking that. Everyone is so ridiculous and dramatic.

Couldn't find a thread safe from spoilers to ask this. Anyway, I only watched one episode and didn't like it much. I've heard numerous impressions about the season but nothing since it ended. So I guess my question is, does the conclusion of the story make the rough patches worth sitting through?

As a Hannibal fan, I'd love to see you do one of that, but hope you can do more True Detective, too!
No.
The show has a handful of cool scenes. That's it. Not only is the plot incredibly confusing and convoluted throughout, but the ending is nothing but a bunch of cliches and melodrama.
It's garbage.
Absolutely not.

This was the "twist" / AHA moment of this season. Just like the twist last year was that the Lawnmower man was someone they met before.
lol. Velcro's sperm literally Velcro's to any woman's egg.

Short answer: No.
Long answer: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Seriously. This second season is such a fucking let down that it still makes me a bit angry to even mention it. I had problems with the first season, especially the ending - but to think the fall would be this insane. I truly have no clue if I'm even remotely interested in a third season. I'm genuinely of the opinion the first season might have been a fluke now.

Just droppin by to shoutout to my homie Stan.
Heh. My favorite is The Office which takes place in Pennsylvania is filmed all over the San Fernando Valley. If people knew that they would easily notice how weirdly sunny and warm it is.

Awesome! Definitely need to do the rest of the season.
I am praying that everyone refers to him as Velcro from now on.

You know, there's a solid movie here. Excise like, the best parts out of the eight episodes, you'd probably get a solid 2.5 hour bleak crime drama.
Like, Paul's girlfriend? Frank's wife's uterus? Mysterious masked person setting the car on fire leading to nothing?
Like cut out every sub plot. End with Ray escaping and Frank's walk in the desert.

maybe. I just don't know if this story is worth telling. Like I can't really tell you what this whole thing was about.

That says more about you than anything else. I never had a problem understanding what was going on.
Me neither. It's just that if someone asks you what this season is about....what do you say lol. It would take a bit to explain it, and it isn't something that most people would be interested in watching by the time you are done.

Yea don't waste your time.
Since the show ended I haven't even wasted a second thinking about it, I just completely forgot about it because it's a completely forgettable and awful story.
And I liked the first episode best of all of them I think. Maybe episode 5.
But if you didn't even like that one, yea don't waste your time.
I'm usually not a fan of these things but I loved it. Great work!

There's a reason why articles explaining what's going on in TD S2 were some of the most popular pieces written about this season.
The story and how the narrative was constructed was very poor. Lots of information, never really know what is important and what isn't, callbacks to events that happened episodes ago that we didn't know were critical, etc.
And, at the end, very little of it mattered.

True Detective Season 2 is the LA Noire of television crime dramas.
the ultimate squandering of potential
Man, I know Quentin has weird taste, but jesus christ he watched the entirety of The Newsroom 3 times? That's just masochistic.
Tbh honest he has a point about the great dialogue. It is just wonderful to listen to even if the show around it has some issues.
Also it's a bit weird to make my first post in this topic about True Dick all about defending The Newsroom so;
I just caught up with the show two days ago. I wish I hadn't.
Don't waste your time. I wish I hadn't.

Surprisingly vast swathes of people don't bother with articles about shows. Pretty much everyone I work with is mad for game of thrones for instance, but I'm hard pressed to think of anytime someones banged on about this or that article they've read. Even when the internet was blowing up about the
rape of Sansa
It's easy to mistake what happens on the internet (and those who are active participants in it) as reflective of a wider reality, but it's not really the case.
Also WTF QT....
It kinda makes sense to me in that, based on what he thinks TV criticism is like, he's still back in the 90s or 70s or 50s when it comes to TV. he treats it as radio with pictures

For a dialogue guy like Tarantino, it's probably for the best that he didn't watch True Detective S2.
I'm not surprised about the Newsroom. There's a really pleasurable patter to the dialogue that I'd imagine Tarantino enjoys a lot. I'm not saying it's a great show, I just think there are things to like in it.
I'm glad he enjoyed Justified at least, seems like it would have been right up his alley.

What does he think about TV criticism.

I really need to get around to watching Justified.
heh yep what Frog-fu posted. There are a lot of legitimate complaints to be made about TV criticism--that far too many reviews are still mostly recapping, that they focus only on theme and character and not form/style--but that he thinks TV reviewers only review the pilot only shows he has no idea what he's talking about. the entire conundrum right now is based around the fact that critics are tackling every episode and have to find things to say about each one individually and as part of a whole.
