    #21871042 - 06/28/15 10:38 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Anyone else even like it so far? I keep watching hoping it's gonna get better.. Loved the first season but I'm having a hard time getting into this season.

i liked the first episode. just felt like there were so many characters that they were spreading their story too thinly.

i'm looking forward to the second episode. its downloading really slowly though



and while i have hopes for this show, i'm doubtful it'll ever make it out from behind the first seasons shadow

it took the first season three episodes to really get going. this one seems to be moving a little faster. did not see the last episode's twist coming.

a few interesting things i've noticed so far with what they're throwing at us.

- the micro/macro theme of the individual plot lines integrated with sprawling fly overs. for some reason, the highways remind me of arteries and veins and the cities of organs. i don't think that's accidental.

- vinci in latin means "i have won". i don't think this is accidental either.

- this is the book antigone is reading in the first episode. from the wiki page:

Quote:

The book records Tsunetomo's views on bushido, the warrior code of the samurai. Hagakure is sometimes said to assert that bushido is really the "Way of Dying" or living as though one was already dead, and that a samurai must be willing to die at any moment in order to be true to his lord. His saying "the way of the warrior is death" was a summation of the willingness to sacrifice that bushido codified.




- the name antigone seems to have significance too. here's the sparknotes page for the play, which is an adaptation of sophocles' play by the same name. i'm thinking the more recent adaptation is the one that is being referenced because of its context.

Quote:

Throughout his career, Anouilh's drama featured biting political critique. The two most notable examples in his great postwar period are his attacks on Charles de Gaulle in L'hurluberlu (1958) and Le songe du critique (1960). Antigone, an adaptation of Sophocles's classic produced in the context of the anti-fascist French resistance, is Anouilh's most often-produced work today. Antigone premiered in Paris in 1944, but Anouilh had written his tale of lone rebellion against the state two years earlier, inspired by an act of resistance during Paris's occupation by the Nazis.




there is a war going on behind all of this, after all....

also, i found these comments from sparknotes interesting.

Quote:

Antigone is the girl who will rise up alone and die young.




Quote:

Tension of the tragic plot is the tension of a spring: the most haphazard event sets it on its inexorable march: in some sense, it has been lying in wait for its catalyst. Tragedy belongs to an order outside human time and action. It will realize itself in spite of its players and all their attempts at intervention. Anouilh himself commented on the paradoxical nature of this suspense: "What was beautiful and is still beautiful about the time of the Greeks is knowing the end in advance. That is "real" suspense" As the Chorus notes, in tragedy everything has "already happened."




- in the first episode, it appears that casper has the bones of a saint in his apartment.

i'm sure that's just scratching the surface. nic pizzolatto seems to love to constantly remind his audience of his worldliness through these ornate but obscure and often very subtle details. but that's what makes it great; the audience is the detective when it comes right down to it. i like it.

also, i would really like to know who did the opening sequence for both seasons and if they have work available to purchase. it would be cool to have a dvd of that for eye candy while tripping.

If you watch the first season over again you will see the writing for the show is mediocre.  The entire plot line is extremely linear, it screams laziness to me.  The acting/directing is really what made that show, without Matthew McConaughey they have nothing.  This season is boring.  CSI is more entertaining and I don't watch that either.

Definitely enjoyed last season though

At this point really the only thing that makes me wanna watch episode 3 is because of the very ending of 2.

I think McConaughey and Woody are what made season 1 for me. I always love Woody in whatever he's in and even though I'm not a McConaughey fan usually, I really liked his character in it.

I too loved the first season. Not once was there a dull moment and machanahey(sp?) And harelson fucking killed it!

This second season, for me, is boring as fuck and it seems as if their trying too hard. I will continue to watch it, but no longer do I look forward to a new true detective.
