Re: Argh (really doesn't capture it, but...AAARRGH just sounds like a pirate)
Date: 2015-08-11 03:21 am (UTC)It's funny because I kept wishing so fucking hard that I'd be wrong and that, in a twisty ending, Jordan and Frank would be hanging out in Venezuela. The amount of rooting/cheering on I did for those two kids was fairly epic throughout this last episode.
Even though I did feel terrible that Ray died, I also had this darker wish that he wouldn't. His last convo with Ani was...very off-putting. He was very mushy (or, at least, mushy for Velcoro). I was also annoyed that, during his last conversation with Ani, he lied (even though they both knew he wasn't going to make it) and then turned around and told the other lady the truth (that, yeah, he wasn't going to make it). Ani's an adult and hella tough. She didn't need to be lied to.
I'm glad that, at least, some of the big bads got killed. That Burris has to be part cat because he's survived a lot of assassination attempts!
The whole baby thing...I'm going to call it a fail. That whole idea that Ani's "fine" now because she's a mother doesn't make sense. I'm going to say that I do like the unexpected f/f of Jordan/Ani (it could be seen as gen, but I like to think that they do eventually become a couple).
Do you feel like True Detective S2 has the rewatchable-ness of S1?
I do. Even though it took at least 2 episodes to get going, the majority of the characters were interesting in their own ways. Also, I think that viewers can watch it from different perspectives without missing out on the general plot. The fact that it's linear (vs. Season 1) also helps. In truth, I think that the rewatchability degree falls on how much someone likes this season.
Considering it ended yesterday, I need a bit more space and time to go revisit Season 2. That said, I fully intend to do that. What do you think?
