No AC leaves that large of a puddle (I watch mine closely everyday, as I'm also monitoring an oil leak). I thought someone had punctured his gas tank and starting the engine would blow the car. Not to be though, just a rather obvious production glitch.

I have to admit, I was really taken with Vince Vaughn as Frank Semyon too. He was so bad he was good. Intentional? I was taken with the scope and ambition of the whole project as well, even though I have to admit it failed miserably. The frantic driving up and down the coast like it was just across town began to be

Nah. Just birds. Carrion birds.

Good catch on the diamonds. I forgot all about those.

Nice review. This season had its moments, but overall, it was just too damn cliched, too convoluted, and too disjointed, although it did manage to nail utterly depressing pretty consistently. Maybe 8.5 hours for what was essentially a serialized feature film is too much after all? It would probably have been better

Agreed with all of that. It feels like they might be wrapping it up to me as well. Not sure they ever planned for it to be this big in the first place.

I did too. And for the first time I think they both realize it too.

What a great episode! Seems like just out of the blue so many plot lines and motivational questions were revealed and/or resolved without much seeming to happen. Tawney's backstory is fleshed out, Teddy (in particular), Ted, and Janet seem to have grown more than in all the previous episodes combined, and Daniel seems

Love the Ladin and Schreiber comedy team, while Robbins is surprisingly great in a purely slapstick role and Black is likewise as a semi-straight setup man. So much stuff to cram in a measly half hour though. It's all a bit overwhelming to watch at times.

This guy is just fantastic, and I think he's benefited tremendously from the hard work and diminished expectations route that his rather "average" looks enable. So many of the young wunderkinds come up with their good looks and star appeal, then immediately get pigeonholed in blockbuster roles for which they may or

Thought I'd check in to see if there was anything new on this comment board on a slow at work day. Didn't care for the ending at all myself, or the entire last "half-season" or whatever AMC's branding it as these days either, but I guess it's OK that so many others apparently did. One useful thing I did connect from

Did anyone hear the sound of Frank's latent big brass balls finally descending as his cocktail glass impacted the side of poor Blake's head? Finally, Frank hits puberty for all to see - only 7 episodes in at that - and TD Season 2 finally gets some much needed wind beneath its wings. For my money, this season has alway

I think Snatch did a pretty good rendition of that a while back. But I agree, there's nothing like a pair of Hasidic bad-asses looming in the background to lend the festivities an air of strong armed frivolity.

"Everything is fucking," especially coming from a prostitute, who certainly should know, is a statement that everything in the world today is transactional in nature - someone gives and someone receives - and both parties are usually trying to get the better part of the deal, with the usual cast of characters almost

I'll bet he had her at "maybe it was just a little bit too close to sucking a robot's dick."

Agreed and understood, but from Daniel's rather admittedly adolescent viewpoint it looks like just the opposite. Like he's being picked on once again for a crime that he's just been forgiven for and/or didn't commit in the first place.

And I believe that you're exactly right.

I think that's the root of it as well. But what are you suggesting about who committed the murder?

Agreed! I had hoped they would at least split the difference in Season 3 and beyond with 8, but that was not to be. I guess we have to accept that part of Rectify's appeal, the down-home Southern writing and directing of Ray McKinnon, is also a part of it's limitations. Ray's decidedly and proudly Southern in all
