I thought that's what it was, I just didn't understand why it happened lol. Stray bullets by police? The guy shooting at them was like 2 floors below it.
well I mean they were shooting indiscriminately into the window once that dude disappeared

looooooooooool @ that explosion effect
I don't know. Blown intentionally to destroy some evidence of some sort up there? It seemed like the mayor set them up, with his not-so-subtle "be careful out there" line. A big exercise to get rid of the cops looking into him.

I'm in the same boat. I'm hoping season 3's good, because I really don't want season 1 to have been just a lucky fluke.

I may not have been paying close enough attention but why did they go to that building anyway? They were going after some pimp right?
That's most likely it and the way the guys were ready for them definitely felt like an ambush so someone set them up.
But I doubt it was the mayor.

Am I supposed to be feeling anything from this show? Cause I don't
Pizzolatto probably spent years writing the first season, months writing the second.
Which is fine. Threads don't always have to come to satisfying conclusions, and there were plenty left hanging last season. Since we're not done with the season yet though, there could easily still be a follow-up to it revolving around how Dixon (Dixon? I'm going with Dixon.) was informing on the squad and/or his dirt had already been passed on.

What regular cop show shows 30 cops get their wigs split from fully auto machine guns? Every other cop show maybe 1 cop dies and its always there to push them to get the escaped guy.
instead they said fuck it what would happen if 15 highly unprepared police officers with 9mm's walked into some fully automatic shit.
I'm trying to but it's hard. I'm interested in what's going on, but not as much as I'd like to be. Certainly not as much by last season at this point.
thats what I thought -- thought the explosion was related to that at first too
I'm getting a big blue and green aura from you right now.

This season should unofficially be called "Four Grumps".

The beginning of the episode with Vince Vaughn and his wife was rough.
What is funny is her actress is better with her role.
Shit, I had a friend who lived in a complex like the one with all of the Mexicans. His dad even sold candy and pastries from a rack like that in their apartment to other people. Driving by on Ocean View Avenue one would never know it was there, hidden behind some rough and abandoned buildings. One day everyone there moved out, and it was flattened and turned into $300k condos within a few weeks.
Anyways, the scenery in this show looks a lot like Ocean View Virginia did back in the day.

Vince Vaughn's acting continues to make me sad.

In general I'm willing to give it a pass and at some points I actually like his character but scenes like the one I mentioned are just awful.

that scene with Vin and his wife is so bad.
He's absolutely terrible.
He's absolutely terrible.
i think his acting is fine -- the writing is awful
those scenes would be just as grating with woody and matt
Are some people still seriously confused by what's going on? I guess this is what happens when you make a show that isn't hand-holdy. Leftovers all over again. The only questions I have/had were about Vince's character, but they're slowly being answered.
Crazy shootout, loved it. Surprised by the reaction to the baby too. Best episode so far.

Are they the only cops that survived that was part of the raid and if so is it going to look shady on their part with everyone dead and innocents dying as well?
Also the complaints amuse me about this show but people are not giving up on it since they are here week after week.

What was surprising about the reaction to the baby? He desperately doesn't want to be gay. Baby provides some cover, both internally and externally

Velcoro's character is really growing on me. People were getting so upset about "sucking a robot's dick" and all, but that's who he is and absolutely something a dude like that would say.
Now let's get out of this monkeyfuck.
The only thing I am sure of, aside from the obvious overtures, is that Vaughn's character is replacing his inability to go clean and live a normal life with ascending to whatever criminal level he wasn't able to attain prior, which likely means a future in politics. The cops are going to be instrumental in that whether they want to or not.
The mystery, no idea. I'm only halfway through the episode.
The writing isn't great but I think a better actor could figure out how to make those lines sound more believable.

So true about the Leftovers, I bailed after a few episodes and didn't bother watching the rest of the series on PVR

Great episode tonight, it's looking to really pick up after tonight (similar to S1).
The number of people who do nothing but trash this show but still seem to watch new episodes the second they are available is highly amusing.
