Dear True Detective: I know you will break my heart tonight (in a totally noir way, hopefully)
It's just a few hours until True Detective wraps up with its last episode of this season. I am both incredibly excited and apprehensive. I want to know what's going to happen, but the suspense is kind of killing me... and I'm still kind of numb and freaked out about what happened last week.
SPOILERS for episode 7
1. I'm afraid that Paul Woodrugh -- unlike Velcoro in that second ep -- is really dead. NOOOOooooooo... what about Erica and the baby?
2. I'm rooting for Frank Semyon and Jordan to make it -- as a couple, and out of the fires and burning bridges he literally set aflame last week. Frank especially seems to have fought his way up. The idea that he'd get beaten back down is, well, sadly realistic (seen The Drop with James Gandolfini, Tom Hardy and Noomi Rapace?) and very noir... but, please, no...
3. I'm afraid all the corrupt motherfuckers will win. (I mean, if history -- and our recent economic meltdown and the crisis in the financial sector -- is anything to go by, they will totally win, of course. They always do.)
4. I'm afraid Velcoro and Bezzerides are doomed and will end up dead.
5. I'm strangely also rooting for Velcoro and Bezzerides' nascent relationship...
...DESPITE feeling that my Velcoro/Bezzerides fanfic idea from the middle of last week's ep was totally hijacked (I'm into angst, what can I say? and they're two seriously angsty, vulnerable characters who I could see starting over with each other)...
...and DESPITE the fact that having Ani and Ray roll around together sexually felt both (1) predictable, like totally taking the road most traveled, and (2) like a big mistake in the place, time, context, and headspace they both had to be in while on the run from ALL the authorities (after the hooker party where Bezzerides found Vera and disemboweled a couple scumbags to get away, and Velcoro and Woodrugh found all the paperwork proving the corruption).
Oh, damn you, Nick Pizzolatto. Even when I'm mad at some of your writing, I'll still tune in at 8pm CDST to watch the first showing of this last ep.
And I hardly ever do that for ANY shows anymore.
(Except Hannibal, although I missed it last night due to another goddamned POS migraine.)
