I get that it's noir. I really honestly did not expect a happy ending, but I hoped for at least one. However the one we got... I'm still processing.

1. He was in fact dead. But he got a stretch of PCH named after him. Yay?

2. I was LITERALLY crossing my fingers on both hands for Frank and Jordan. *sob*

3. Well, we were both right, kind of. Osip and McCandless get street justice. *ROAR* But while Chessani gets dead, it's so his own son can step into his place. And Burris stays put. At least Holloway got it, too. Pitlor (Springfield) got it, too, but he was "suicided" as Ani puts it.

4. You called it. I wished for it to be different, but I kind of knew it was coming.

5. Oh well.

6 (I didn't have a 6, but here it is...) I was pretty sure Velcoro was his kid's dad. At least that turned out to be true.

Lastly, I am totally okay with the "Ani, Jordan and Nails the bodyguard ride off into the Venezuelan sunset." When Frank explained the plan and Ray got he and Ani in on the plan, I already figured (sadly) that only the women would make it.

But, my first reaction to the heteronormative babymaking is... did we really need that? I don't think so. I guess fertility was a constant theme throughout the series, so it was kind of expected (or at least it was not unexpected).

But still. I just didn't see Ani that way. She definitely deserves redemption, but why did it have to come that way? Redemption via babymaking seems... like what millions of doomed marriages and relationships have been based on.

This makes me seem like I hate babies and babymaking, which I don't (although a shit-ton of people have babies who shouldn't).

I like holding them and playing with them; they're fucking adorable. I'm even okay with feeding them, though it can be messy, but it's usually funny and entertaining.

I also love giving them back to their mothers when they start to cry or need a diaper change...

But... Ani the baby mama. I don't know. It just... *thinks*

Then again, it's nice that Velcoro has another son; it seems good that a not bad man has, hopefully, helped make a couple more not bad men.

I may have more later... or I may just have to go have a long think about it.

Do you feel like True Detective S2 has the rewatchable-ness of S1?
