She seems pretty smart to me.

It could almost have been a pilot episode. I can't believe how much ground was retrodden.

I think Paul has to be the killer because I can't think of another reason for his existence either.

Nice, but it's Frank's wife who's barren.

Poguemahoney, I like you. Are you really saying I should go back and try to finish the pilot for that show? Can I trust you?

Timothy Olyphant?

He was saying the equivalent of "You're in Carcosa now." He asked for forgiveness and then said something about "the mother of death" which people are interpreting as connected to the cult of Santa Muerte and getting excited about.

I think James Frain shot Velcoro. I think he was just there to take the videotape and disguised himself so Velcoro wouldn't recognize him. He would have a motive to keep Velcoro alive because he knows he's useful to the Vinci crooks. I don't think Frain is THE Birdman who killed Caspere, though.

Ani's mother's little carvings all looked like mother figures to me, too. Like, wailing Greek tragedy mother figures.

I would say that even in terms of the plot the stakes weren't high enough because we were given too many reasons to think the whole thing was a set-up. You knew something bad was going to go down — you weren't on the edge of your seat hoping a lead would pan out.

It'll be like the Blues Brothers, with the chick from the bar doing all the songs.

McAdams' character would also not wear so much eyeshadow, not on the job. It's a small thing but it bothers me.

I don't know about dumb but he sure as hell is inconsistent. Remember back in Season 1 when it was all "Get back in the field, Will, you coward. What are you DOING HERE in the field, Will?"

Ok, that makes sense. I disagree that it worked but I see your point that there was a context.

I tell you what, Rabbit Troop, let's be one of those couples that fights a lot.

I think you might be right. Now that you've said this I've realized there really isn't a reason for Woodrugh's character to exist unless he's the killer. I don't think Dixon suspected him, but there are a couple of other things that are suspicious. The James Frain character said the Birdman used cop bullets (or…

I just watched a couple of clips from Season 1 again. It's not easy to make broad daylight look sinister, menacing, slightly hallucinogenic without any visible tricks, but Fukunaga achieved that over and over again. Season 2 is struggling to make things seem surreal even with all these nighttime, hellish city scenes.

Bay City, baby.
