Thought I was the only one wondering. This episode is just about on par with episode one so far when it comes to being all over the place.
The guy Frank went back to ask for money again after stopping when he moved up in the world.

Taylor throwing back drinks like a mad man to induce whiskey dick.

I bet Tommen would have "talked" to her
Vince Vaughn really is a terrible actor. I don't think it can be defended anymore. They needed someone imposing who could play both a guy who wants to go straight and have the aura of a strong businessman, while also possessing animal instincts of an oldschool gangster. What they got was a guy who looks like a chum no matter what he says or what he's trying to do.

there is joy in sucking dick

Yeesh, that was a bit of a mess of an episode. Vaughn and Kitsch are simply not getting it done for me

So what you're saying is that they should've gotten McConaughey.

not horrible but just kinda boring. i will say the farrell saving adams scene looked brutally bad. lol it just looked so cheesy
Actually I think anyone in the season 2 cast right now would be better in the role than Vince is. He's just awful. Lol.

Yep.
That fist fight sucked. I couldn't suspend disbelief on VV actually doing what he did.

Should have stayed a mini series.

I agree, that fight scene was pure comical. VV is by far the shows weakest link, though the show itself isn't doing much better. Things are "happening" but there's n barely any plot progression.

Can you imagine if this role went to Joaquin Phoenix instead?
Would've been GOAT TV show for sure.

Or Viggo Mortensen. His character in History of Violence would be spot on for this role.
I think its the character. Everything is unraveling and collapsing. I can buy it. Though the scene with the dead dude was weird. He has one mode.

On another note,the person who schedules these HBO shows should be fired.
I really don't want to watch Ballers after having the air sucked out of me from TD. Who thought putting those shows back to back was a good idea?

Nope. Some of the casting/acting is no doubt highly questionable, but the writing isn't much better

All 3 episodes have been kinda boring. Besides 1 having a saving grace of the bully encounter, and Two the shooting cliffhanger. I'm really not even totally sure what's going on in the story to be honest.
eh, I am sure they are looking at SV following GOT
So... yeah, I thought that was really scattered, just like the premiere. There were moments where I thought "who is this guy? why should I care that this is happening?" and so on - which, to be honest, isn't good.
then again, I do question myself sometimes, when I see other people lavishing praise on this season. I don't know if it's them or me.

Yeah I am getting the feeling we should hope for a better season 3 already. This is not going well. Not at all

Back to giving it one more episode to pick back up to episode two level, or else I'm done.

Vince Vaughn keeps doing that D'Onofrio's Kingpin, so unfortunate. haha
Fight scene lacked punch. Instead of hopping around and dodging punches like a spar, he should have obliterated the dude viciously. Then kept punching his mouth to knock the teeths out.

HBOGO was rock solid.
A bit of a comedown from ep2. I like that there was more real detective work. Went to the majors house, the Mad Max
p) movie set, and followed up on the missing car; which lead to a footchase.
Paul is gay. Confirmed. I wish it was just him being a reckless thrillseeker. I don't expect any new ground to be covered with closeted guy who struggles to "hide" that part of himself from others.
I was right about Colin's status and Ray gets a lot of awesome work in this ep.
Fuck e-cgis again. LOL

Kitsch looks like a constipated thinking man taking a shit.
