My buddy took over writing duties from Milch, who had to go work on the deadwood project, in episode 5, so I’m ready for next week.
Ey tell your friend to tell Pizz I have a pitch for Season 5. [Reply]
I fell asleep during the last 15 minutes of Episode 5. Sorry, it's just not grabbing me at all. This season isn't terrible, it's just achingly slow and so poorly paced as to be uninteresting. I've never seen Mahershala Ali before (not that I can recall), and everyone says he's a great actor-- but he's not doing anything spectacular in this series except trying too hard to be a black quasi Rustin Cohle. I don't think it's his fault, his character is just written that way. There's no angle or subplot that has been dangled or teased in any interesting way to make me care; and again this could be rural Anytown, USA-- they whiffed on working any unique nuances of Arkansas into the script.
My wife turned to me and said she didn't care if we even finished the season. If some weird contractual matter forced the rest of the episodes to go un-aired, I have to say I wouldn't be bothered that much. [Reply]
Plus apparently here and Roland never got married. Wonder if he found out something or she was just with him to find out what the investigation was doing.
Spoiler!
more likely that whatever Hayes and Roland did sent him off course and she left

I’m in the same camp. I really wanted to like it and it’s just not there. Not a joke like season 2, not a masterpiece like season 1, just...not much there. Moving on. [Reply]

Count me in as well. I've given up on anything remotely close to some of the fireworks from season 1. [Reply]

It's beating S2 in sheer comprehensibility and enjoyment alone. And I like S2 for what it is.

Who the fuck knows. I'm ready for it though. Getting the last episode three days early sucks because of the nine day wait that resulted from it. [Reply]
