Part of me is afraid that this show is going to have a really sad ending where no one ever discovers Trey's shady actions, and Daniel ends up re-convicted. Though maybe they'll gently caress with us and have Daniel lose his re-trial and go back on death row, but then the Sheriff finds Georgie's body which leads to Daniel being exonerated and released again. Happy ending.

My girlfriend was skeptical that old redneck hipsters like Lezlie With A Z and his friends actually exist and thought the show was being very unrealistic. So I just want to assure people that, even if Lezlie and his party were intended to be a fantastical extreme, parties/people like that definitely exist in the South and have for as long as I've been old enough to go to them. Lezlie is in fact probably what I'll end up being in 20 or 30 years. I don't know if I'm happy about that or not, to be quite honest.

The most depressing part of this whole show so far is Tawney being pregnant.

I've always viewed the show as pretty depressing yet life affirming at the same time. I could see Rectify ending with Daniel going back to the row but being incredibly grateful for experiencing life one last time and dying happy. Something really bittersweet, you know? It could really go anywhere though. All I know is, I want to see the goat man again.

That last scene was fantastic. And just the right amount of teasing that this show does vis-a-vis the real events of 19 years ago.

I can't imagine any reason why he grabbed George's gun other than he's planning on planting it somehow. e: He can wait until Daniel conks out, put the gun in his pocket, call the local police to report the disturbance, book it home, and make sure George's body is discovered. gently caress.

Can someone tell me what Jake was doing at the end of last night's episode? I was doing some work on my computer and missed it. I like that Daniel seems to have become more assertive since his trip to Georgie's. Though he should probably have been less of an rear end in a top hat to Tawney. No reason to be messing around with your stepbrother's wife. But I guess that's all part of the new "Bad Person" Daniel.

This season is firing on every cylinder, and we still have two episodes left. gently caress. That ending montage left me in tears. The prison conversation was also really magnetic. "We're not even *the same currency*." Ubiquitous_ fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Aug 8, 2014 |

I want Daniel to go back to when he was just full of wonder about life, showering in pillow feathers, and not worrying about his innocence!  How will Bobby Dean come into the fold again? Last we've seen was the Sheriff saying maybe now he owes Daniel... and this latest episode has just reminded us about his existence. This show is going down some dark roads now. I wonder how long McKinnon and co are planning to take Rectify?

Some discussion over at The AV Club suggests that if a Season 3 is greenlit that it would be about the Re-trial of Daniel Holden. Assuming things don't go really, really dark in the next two episodes.

If they do a season for Daniel's re-trial, I'd expect the main B-plot to be the Sheriff finding George's body and realizing that things aren't adding up and investigating deeper. If Daniel gets exonerated, I just think it would be cool if the Sheriff is the one to do it.

It'd be nice for the, "I want to get things right this time" line to be a foreshadowing of a better future for Daniel. This show gets really dark, but is ultimately a little hopeful -- well, not at the moment at least.

They better have more seasons of this show. I can't stress how much I love it and I don't think I could handle it ending in 2 episodes. I can see a re-trial in the horizon and I think they would handle it well. I also wonder how the whole road trip to the dead guys house from last episode is going to affect things when his body is found (if it is).

This whole season has felt like they've been assuming a third (probably to finish the story up as I think a fourth season would be a stretch). I really doubt they'll accept a plea without any more prison time and a new trial could definitely fill a whole season. I kind of feel like they're focusing too much on the "what really happened" rather than just the raw existential drama that season 1 was, but I'm still entranced by the show and especially the performances. Stoned Amantha and Nice Guy Teddy were a delight.

That was Ted's best scene. He delivered and then some. I still feel bad for Ted despite the poo poo he said. It's like I kind of get his thought process but he's still a dick.

I think the second season, while less artsy and quiet has deftly explored how Daniel's mere presence in the town is making everyone else's lives fall apart as Daniel tries to start his own again. That duality between his "resurrection" (and subsequent realization that he's a bad person, a way of atoning) and the downfall of his hometown has made for some really great television. And he's only been free for less than two weeks or so.

Ubiquitous_ posted:And he's only been free for less than two weeks or so. Actually, while the first season took place over roughly a week, the second has had much bigger time jumps between episodes. Amantha has had time to start and get comfortable in her new job, Daniel had several days where he disappeared partying with Lezlie, and Tawny had time to learn she was pregnant and lose the baby. I think in this episode the sheriff said Georgie was last seen six weeks earlier, which gives us a rough timeframe.

All episode I was expecting Teddy to make a thing out of Tawney not seeming sad enough about the miscarriage, but he kept taking it further and further than I thought he would.

It seemed very apparent to me that the events of the episode would lead to Teddy having an altercation with the guy who wouldn't pay for his rims. I'm guessing this will also lead to the end of discussion regarding assault charges for Daniel, since his credibility will be undermined if word of the fight gets around.

Someone pointed out that the existentialism has taken a step back since the first season in favor of exploring Daniel's guilt and fleshing out the other characters. The show is still god drat amazing but I kinda hope that the events of the murder are definitively explained by the end of this season. It could drag on a bit, right? Do you folks think the show's getting renewed?

There's no show on TV like this one, and I think Sundance likes the critical acclaim. Viewership probably isn't a big deal when the channel is already kinda obscure.

This latest episode was intense overall but goddamn that last scene set to Mormon band Low's "The Great Destroyer" was absolutely loving soul-destroying. Tawney and Daniel are going to Hell and taking me with them.
