you know, Vince Vaughan's character really does remind me of Michael from GTA V.

I think Farrell and McAdams do okay. I think Tim Riggins is going to take a while to develop as a character, at the moment he's just moping all the time. The thing that's really striking is how simple the first season's detectives were by comparison. Maybe that's why they were easier to like? There's also the fact…

I think they channeled that dystopian feeling better last season because it was filtered through through a minimalistic character driven plot, so it felt like a mutated genre film.

The shootout suffered from having too many redshirts. That's a very tv-not-HBO kind of feel.

Just saying the US legal system isn't an ideal benchmark or anything, but it would be a miracle for a more backward country to get to that level. In the sense that it functions, and is at least plausibly independent from the rest of the government.

I think the joke is that the current state of the American judicial system actually is a measure of progress compared to how things could be. It's like equal parts fact and joke. There's no actual separation between the judiciary and the government in India, except on paper. Politicians that would make Nixon look like…

i think that like with music, power users subsidize the free for all.

if you're referring to the antidote as a gift, yeah i don't think it was the writers' intention for it to tie in thematically, it's just an observation on my part.

i don't think Tyene's motivation for saving Bronn is mysterious at all. i think being stuck down there for that long with Bronn made them realize he's not a Lannister, either by relation or by any kind of fealty, and her vendetta is against those responsible for Oberyn's death, not some random sellsword.
