Yea...Vince Vaughn is flexing his acting chops on this one. He's doing fantastic IMO too.

Agree. He has the added burden of being associated with light comedy, and he's pulling it off.

Haha, yeah the one guy was just big. Vince was a real fighter. Still took a couple of clean shots for biggie to fall. Poor Vince. He doesn't wanna be a bad guy!

He was done after the head slam into (the refrigerator?)/knee to the face combo.

This season isn't quite grabbing me like season 1 did, but I am still enjoying it.

I lol every time they show that girl singing in the bar, just thinking about the bar owner. "Hey, I have a great idea! Let's find a solemn looking girl to sing the most depressing ****ing songs known to man, that'll be great for the atmosphere around here!"

I actually like that they made him like a "good" bad guy at first, and now he's slipping into the typical bad guy stereotype, reluctantly.

****, I don't even blame him after losing the amount of money he has.

Well that was eventful.

That shootout was nuts. Reminds me a bit of the scene from season one when they're busting into the biker meth house.

Depressing Bar Singer is stealing the show. She's just absolutely killing it.

Too me it was a lot more impactful and dramatic because the police were ambushed, taking some serious hits, and outgunned by automatic weapons. But you're right, from a visual aspect it was right up there with the meth house bust from season one. I think it was a key bonding moment for the three leads.

Still love seeing Frank (VV) shake down people.

Re: True Detective (Season Two)

Can't wait for this. New cast will be interesting. Intrigued to see how Vince Vaughn plays his role.

Typically don't quote myself, but just an update. My opinion Vince Vaughn is doing awesome so far. Great to see him in a non-comedic role and pulling it off so well.

Re: True Detective (Season Two)

That was pretty damned awesome and had quite a few WOW moments...brutal

Re: True Detective (Season Two)

Civilians where getting hit all over even by some of the cops. And at the end they have the WTF just happened look, spanning out to all the bodies. That just woke me up for the rest of the season.

A little slow early, but powerful scene at the end.

What about the guy who's coming on to Frank's girlfriend? Wonder if he'll get any teeth pulled?

Yeah, I also wonder what's up with Frank's #2, the guy who got demoted to pit boss. He's a cocky dude.

Via Patrick Claybon, here's the unused footage of the cops planning before the big action scene

Re: True Detective (Season Two)

There's a lot of loose ends I feel like. Don't know who or where this is all headed.

The shootout was sick. Some serious violence with some dudes getting their head blown out.

Does anybody else feel like Ray is like the perfect anti-hero? I like his character more and more every episode.

I knew it was inevitable, but all the comparisons to season 1 suck. This thing is standing on its own. Once the shock of seeing the four main leads playing in the True Detective world wore off, I've been focused on this story and this story alone. You can't recapture what season 1 had; perfect story, perfect actors, played perfectly. If this was called "Cop Story," everyone would be ****ting their pants over the actors and storyline. Instead it's just being made out as passable, which I think is unfair.
