How are people saying "I think I like this episode better?" This was a big improvement over the first episode. A few bad scenes still. Less cringeworthy dialogue but it was still there.
But if this is the direction the show is going to go(in terms of improving quality) then I am going to stick with it.

why not? That's just a fuck you shot.
No way no how he is dead. Rock salt in a shotgun at that range could be enough to knock someone the efff out just from the pain.

I find Rachel McAdams character far more interesting.
Thats the way I took it. My initial presumption is they were wounding shots and he is likely going to be tortured. The rock salts make sense too.
I didn't care for her last episode but she has grown on me this episode.
That seemed to be this episode. Penis blown off, actual penetration in porn, supposed major character already dead in the second episode.

Better than episode 1, but still quite a few "let me completely tune out this dialogue" moments.
Still though, if it can continue to improve by the same level we should be in a pretty good place a couple more episodes in.
Regarding ending...*shrug*. Dude sees blood and puts a gun away...that was...ridiculous. I'm thinking the ending was real because honestly, it solves so many issues that the premier had which was:
1. Too many POV's
2. No reason at all to care about this case.

Who else is going to have lines like, "i don't know, feels like sucking a robot's dick"
Your rock salt theory is fine for the first shot, but that second shot was meant to kill the guy.
Gut shot.

I like Vince Vaughn's for some reason. Its definitely the generic crime boss trying to go straight archetype but I really enjoy him playing the role he was always meant to (imo) rather than just another of his comedic roles

Yeah, like McAdams character, I didn't like Vaughn's the first episode. It's starting to work a lot more this episode.
.....although that opening story, was a little to thick and contrived. But I blamed that more on the writing.
I feel like it was too low to be a kill shot. If you really want to kill someone shoot em in the face.

there's also so much about that shit that makes no sense..
How casual dude was entering the house. Vaughn's character gave him that info specifically so he could play it straight and then feed him what he had. Why'd he go rogue? And why the fuck did he put his gun away? Last detail seems minor but it was such a weird thing to me.

No Melisandre to bring our boy back.
Turns out it was Brienne under the mask. She then drags Colin out to a parked van where Stannis is.

I can't tell if Vaughan knows what he's doing or doesn't have a clue
Much better than the first episode. First episode was all about character introductions, so I could see how people thought it was slow.
The show started with this for me, but fucking lol if he's really dead. I doubt it. Rocksalt maybe.
Also, that mask. Didn't Casper have the same mask in the car? Seems cult-ish to me.

Man, I'm seriosuly over these cheap, "zomg shocking" character deaths. Yawn.
At least I think he's dead. We'll see.

I love the Hotline Miami masks being tied with the kink. Dat intrigue

Feels out of his depth which is why he's compelling to me. He's trying to navigate the waters too.
I think he does. I have faith... He's going to surprise people.
Thats the angle I am starting to get. With all of them honestly. In different ways.

How about Kitsch character watching that male prostitute?
1. Can't get it up for his girl without Viagra.
2. Oedipal shit with his mom.
3. Watching a male prostitute from the balcony while drinking.
I think so.

think they're spelling it out pretty clear that he's gay
also the story about him beating up a guy while at the bank for looking at him.

I think when he said "motherfucker" after that bike scene in the first episode it was foreshadowing!!
I bet the masks also in the orgy scene.. Eyes wide shut style!

Did a main character die
That's what I thought.
Yup.
"There was this fag at the bank staring at me, almost knocked him out" (paraphrasing)
