hmm.. if his being homosexual was so closely kept a secret that someone could use it to blackmail him... i could see him being emotionally unstable over that. it doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

breaking bad was awesome. i'm not so big on true detective, from what i saw of it. i probably have the worst taste in television (among other things) on the board.

He did some homo stuff and was blackmailed after he was already emotionally reckless.

How far did you get in season one?

i got three or four episodes in. i couldn't tell you plot specifics or anything really. there was some bodies with horns and the two leads. that's what i remember. :P

oh okay. this seems a pretty big part of that season. was this anything to do with the murder(s) that were being investigated at all? (don't spoil identity of the killer or killers or anything)

The first season demands your attention. It's really easy to get lost if you daydream at all during the show. You should start from the beginning. If you feel you missed anything, just read the plot description on the season one wikipedia page for each episode you finish watching.

I guess it had something to do with the murders, but the season is just overall so damn terrible. I am on the last episode and don't even know if I want to finish it or not. It's that bad.

She was OK in it. She certainly doesn't save the show at all. lol. Also, we were severely misled about her ass being in the show... Her ass is never seen. She's seen in granny panties once or twice and that is it.

She is a pretty good actress. But as I said, she played a decent character and was pretty good in the show, but she does nothing to save it from the trainwreck that it is.

I think everyone had a collective sigh of "For Fuck Sakes" when they dropped that closet gayness on you.

Someone said "can this shitty season get any worse"? The liberal Gods of Hollywood were listening.

Blame Nick Piss-a-lot-o who proved to not be such a genius writer and seemed lost without Fukunaga directing.

I thought season 2 was alright, but i'm not so quick to recommend it though. Season 1 however probably ranks way up there in the tip-top as one of the most solid seasons of a show ever made.

The new season starts Sunday. I have a good feeling it will be closer to 1st season quality than the epic turd 2nd season.

I'm happy for my boy Stephen Dorff, outside of that it looks like trash.

That writer Nick Piss-a-lot-o is an egomaniacal douchebag who would suck his own dick 24/7 if you cut his ribs out. I'm not getting my hopes up if no one is checking that guy, but will watch.
