Very interesting. Thanks for correcting my assumptions. Do you (or the project) have any explanation as to why this is so? Are the inmates just fed up with the legal process - or perhaps something to do with getting their hopes up?

They both have full-time gigs on other TV shows, so they can only appear sporadically as their schedules permit. But they are still in the MoS cast and will turn up from time to time.

One humorous fact about The Knick: according to Vulture, it sets the new 'time' record (quickest appearance) for cable-TV nudity - 0:15: full-frontal female nudity (beating the previous record set by True Detective with it's opening credits):

The meteor/dinosaur mention in the show was ridiculously anachronistic - because the theory didn't even exist until 1980.

I didn't read it that way at all. After being picked up out-of-state by somebody, you should attempt to be gracious and thankful - since it's rather a large favor to ask of someone. Instead, Daniel was acting rather surly - and never even thanked her for helping him.

George killed himself the day Daniel was released from prison - so approximately 6 weeks ago.

Daniel didn't actually reject the plea deal. He told Jon to give them the counter-offer of 'no time' - so if the DA accepted those terms, Daniel would plead guilty to the murder and the case would be closed.

I was hoping Daniel would tell Tawney about his attack of Teddy in his own words while in the car. I know it's not an easy thing (for anyone) to do - admitting to a huge and terrible thing - but I think it would have been better in the long run if she heard Daniel's 'side of the story' from him.

"I could be wrong but I don't believe he "never" believed he raped Hanna,"

Does the AV Club do weekly reviews of miniseries (it's just a single season)? In any case, I've been following those at Cultbox and The Guardian (although granted, they are more like recaps than reviews). We're about 4 or 5 episodes ahead in the EU, but you can avoid spoilers by just searching, for example, "the…

Well, Trey brought all of George's personal belongings back to his trailer - so if the cops think it's murder, it WILL look like he was either killed somewhere close to home or taken away at gun point to be killed by the river.

"More important than what Trey said is just telling Jon that he went on a road trip with Trey. That could at least give Jon a chance to anticipate and prepare for the shitstorm that's going to come when they find's George's body."

I don't know - it truly sounds me like you're trying to justify what I would describe as 'possible' (since I realize they might be addressed very soon) plot-holes/TV-tropes with a whole lot of dancing around. I love this show, but I'm not going to bend normal rules of logic to accept anything the writers want to dish…

It has nothing to do with whether it can be used 'legally' or at trial. That same heresay repeated by Jon Stern to Sheriff Carl might prompt the sheriff (who was a little suspicious already) to attempt to run Trey's DNA - or just scrutinize Trey more.

:) - Now you know how I felt about you and "Louie" ;D

But it seems you're assuming (because we haven't been shown it) that someone who was on death row for 19 years - with multiple stays-of-execution - and an eventual vacating of their sentence - would not have discussed his case with anyone.

"I think the reason Daniel isn't saying much to his lawyer (about his conversation with Trey) is because he's trying to find the answers himself."

Yeah, and he was snarky to Tawney - which was rather odd considering she did him the favor of driving out-of-state to pick him up. He could have just called Amantha and been his usual snarky self to her :)

It's odd that this episode has engendered such a wide range of responses. People appear to think it was just brilliant - or one of the weaker episodes. I re-watched it - and while I thought it was better the second time around, I still think it feels like one of the not-quite-so-perfectly written and less-convincing…

True - but it's not as risky of a 'bluff' as you might imagine. Trey was a witness (and thus present) at the site of Hannah's murder. I'm fairly certain the police could compel him to turn over a DNA sample if they wanted. I think Trey just assumes (rightly) that he might be less scrutinized if he appears to give one…
