My only problem is that, for a show that promised right from the beginning to be about occult rituals, it didn't deliver much of that specific thing. I didn't expect it to end with Rust and Marty crashing a spring clean for the May queen, but I expected more than an old VHS tape of some unnamed unspeakable act. Imagine a mini-series about a "basketball killer" that ends up only including a few seconds of basketball on tape and a climax in an empty basketball court. ("OMG there are vague hints that his daughter might once have played basketball!")
The whole setup of the show was that this crime from 1995 wasn't completely solved by killing Ledoux; it was a conspiracy continuing to the present day, and it was big and went high up, and Rust and Marty would have to overcome their animosity to uncover the full extent of it. But in the end, they really just redid what they did in 1995: got a low-life who did the dirty work.
Cool! It's interesting how many forum regulars are UK VFX artists.
I'm Ace. This is Janko. You met Tink and Woz when you came in. Rachet here is our resident grease monkey. And Butch... well, let's just say ol' Butch here keeps us all from goin' space crazy.

The episode still could have been more economical and needed to end with more of a bang. The whole first scene in the bar was unnecessary. They could have gone from the side of the road to the storage locker. Then the ending is the suspect(s) discussing the fact that they know our boys have drawn a bead on them and they need to do something about it.
As is, this would have worked better if there was one more episode between it and the finale, I think. We've got our protagonists back together and on the right track. We reveal the suspect. Next up is tension moving to action. Then the finale is a raid or something; all action and a strong resolution of our characters. We need 10 minutes just for Marty to unspool Rust.
I'm still fully on board, but this didn't feel like a second act break that powers us into the third act. We just got our protagonists back together, after all, and they don't have much to go on.
But based on what we've seen before, this show has got the goods.
So much for cynicism. *buries self in slanket*
Ooh. Very good points. I might have to rethink that.
Collateral? Good grief. The ending is preposterous.
I'd like to see an HBO remake of Cagney & Lacey. It could explore the difficulties of balancing a stressful work life and family and the peculiar demands and expectations society puts on women, particularly professional women.
Plus, double the opportunity for titty scenes.
Nice. Hard facts. Good-looking graphics. Great audio. The right length, too: not a commercial but not an infomercial either.
I enjoyed that ep a good bit, altho I agree with the assessments that it's a "table setting" ep and Maggie's scene was weakly structured. I like the development of her character and the shifting that has happened to Rust and Marty, as Rob pointed out.
Justin doesn't make excuses. Justin delivers.
Well, it began to fill up with spam, and there didn't seem to be a way for regular users to delete it. It's not like we filled it with adoring pictures of Teague.
EDIT: Oh, and I couldn't figure out how to add adoring pictures of Teague.
