I normally don't bother quibbling about grades, but the three scenes with Tawney puts this at least up to an A- (the minus being the lack of Daniel Holden, albeit understandable). The life group scene, and the two scenes between Tawney and Ted Jr. were outstanding. I felt like Jr. gained a little depth in this…

I agree with exactly half of this comment.

You don't mess with the Dugan.

So, The Baxter 2: They Came Together?

When is US Netflix going to get in on this "streaming new episodes the day after they air" thing?

There are a couple of his quirks I don't care for, but he's got that knack for making interesting blockbusters, and I like that.

It's kind of every Nolan movie. And it's not a bad thing.

Could be. I took the suicide to mean that George knew something that could either land him in jail or in the position of having to rat on someone—possibly Trey.

This article about Wikipedia is filled with typographical errors. Meta.

Hope so. I was curious about that statement too.

I watched Season 1 just a few weeks ago, so it's pretty fresh on my mind. I recall nothing confirming Trey is a killer. He had a conversation with George in the first episode, just prior to George committing suicide. It implied that they each knew who the killer was, but didn't implicate either one specifically.

We have a pretty basic DISH package, and we get it. But it's damn near impossible to find at a glance—Channel 358.

When it cut to commercial, I rewound it to make sure I'd seen it correctly. Total silence, which I thought was brilliant. Aden Young has worked in silence a good deal on this show, but that shot of the silent scream was great.

Absolutely. When I watched the first season, and Tawny was shown to be a devout Christian, I kept waiting for the show to reveal her to be manipulative, or ignorant, but it never did that. I've been very impressed by how they've handled it.

Let's just all be happy that fake Tori Scott is omitted from this picture. At least they got that right.

Yeah, I talked myself into a corner there. I just don't like the impulse to have something explained. I don't think everything should be so easily discernible that discussion is unnecessary. I love the discussion. But I think that looking to the creator of something for "the" answer stifles that discussion, and…

Legitimately misread. There are always people who don't get stuff. Bottom line for me: Whatever the artist has to say should be said clearly in the art.

It's not that the creator's intention doesn't matter. I feel that if it had to be explained, it wasn't executed well. My point about the GOT scene is that if he didn't intend for it to come across as rape, but everyone watching it saw a rape, he failed. He didn't execute the scene properly. He could have addressed it…

Oh yeah. Fargo was very good, and very much worth watching. Great performances and some fantastic visuals. But for the purposes of this debate, I liked True Detective better.

Not to derail this, but here's a good example of why authors, and writers, and directors need to keep their damn mouths shut and let their thing be whatever it is. You're right. He fucked it up by talking about it and not just letting everyone interpret it for what it was. This need to read or watch something and then…
