Was that (3x3)Nicky's heroin? I thought it just fell out of electrician slacker guard's bigger bag. She didn't fight it because a) nobody would believe her and b) she is self-destructive.

This show is all over the road by Episode 10. (3x10)More of Norma's goofball cult, feel-good Hallmark stuff with Red and the cooks, and then again with Mama Pornstache, NSA infiltration, and then Pennsyltucky getting raped twice in as many minutes. It's like the season is loosely strung between jokes, reveals, and emotionally manipulative moments instead of having a real story that organically features those elements along the way. And at this point the NSA stuff finally pushed me over into thinking the tattooed Australian vampire is the Real Assassin.

Doppelganger posted:4. We still don't know why Suzanne is in prison. This is 100% speculation, but I think she's innocent and took the rap for something her white sister did. She's got a loose grasp on things, and that was already exploited in S2. (Spoiled for identifying something the show didn't deliver.) Man that finale was brutal ...ly dull. I kept waiting for the plot threads to come together in a cool way, and then they didn't. And it was an extra long episode! Why do you book extra time and then fill it with filler? .

They also decided to make Alex even less interesting, somehow. I couldn't understand most of what Ruby said, and wasn't sure why she was on the show. Her whole arc could have been given to an established character and it would have been more meaningful. Maybe they just repurposed an early draft Nicky's S3 story, given how it turned out. mossyfisk posted:When it comes down to the crunch, he's not the sort of man that puts himself on the line for other people's sakes. He saves himself. I'm glad you posted this, because I also missed that. The whole point of his multiple scene flashback is a background character's action ...in the last two seconds. It felt like a flimsy excuse to film some army scenes. People like war movies, right?

Donut guy ending up like it did was a waste in some ways, it was the only time I felt like characters on the show actually had romantic on-screen chemistry. (Until it went bad, obviously.) But we wouldn't have gotten a bunch of fall-flat sodomy jokes, so yay?

I've said before, but I'll be surprised if Suzanne had actually done anything.

His flashback was confusing because they seemed to be about naive Bennett's (relative) compassion and humanity to the locals, which paralleled his "softness" with the inmates. But that led to a grenade attack that wasn't a direct consequence of his actions. I feel like there's something distasteful in narrative that compares raising your child to diving on a live grenade. E: holy poo poo. Don't know I missed that. moths fucked around with this message at 11:50 on Jun 19, 2015 |

Young Healey was the best thing in S3.

I was thinking about it today, and the show talks both sides of its mouth on its messaging. Bennett depicted as a terrible coward for shirking duty, but Caputo is shown as a doormat / victim for shouldering his. Norma singing at Christmas was spiritual, but spiritual Norma is a waste of screen time. It's not a show meant to actually have messages, but it's confusingly inconsistent at times.

Foomin posted:Pretty sure the guiding moral is that life and people are more complex than that True, but at other times the show presents children's television levels of morality. Don't do X because Y will happen! The premise of the show is (arguably) the consequences of actions, but then they're shown as arbitrary and random.
