    Game of Thrones made a run out of it. Seasons that were solid but somewhat meandering and convoluted but the last 2 episodes would hit you like a brick and you were left thinking the whole thing was great. Then seasons 7 and 8 came and they couldn't keep that magic streak going and it tanked the perception of those seasons.

    The thing about GOT up till season 5 before G.R.R.M. screwed us by being lazy is that meandering was part of the build up of characters and attention to detail. GOT was great at making something that seemed so irrelevant be completely essential to the story once things played out. Once GOT went of the rails loose ends arose and characters started being other people.  Season one of true detective did some of the same things and unlike GOT characters did not become different people all of a sudden. A good detailed story and character connection is what makes a series great. The Jodie character for instance is suppose to be a pain in the ass but why is it a loss of a child like season one? Look at Rus and how they got us to care what a loss of a child meant specifically to his soul and how GOT got us to care about Tyrion. This series needs to do some more of that in order to have a payoff otherwise people are uninterested in what happens to the characters.

    It’s fine for me so far. Interested to see where this goes. Also, I can come back to this thread to see folks say it sucks and they’re done only to come back and bitch about it every week.

    I already said I am in till the end because of Jodie but could care less who done it. Giving it a full chance to recover from the first two episodes.

  3. All those talking about this having "The Thing" vibes.

    Spoiler

    López started to concoct a stew that combined her love of Holmes with some other pop culture fascinations, including the detective team in David Fincher’s “Seven,” the Arctic terror of John Carpenter‘s “The Thing” and a general interest in the real-life “unsolved mysteries of humankind.” She let it boil, and then put it aside. Then HBO called, asking her what she would do if she were handed the reins to the “True Detective” franchise.

    As someone who has done quite a bit of work in Alaska, I really wonder if the creator has ever spent time in Alaska at all. Everything from the layout of the city (this is trying to replicate Nome or Utqiagvik but it is way too big) to the vibes of the stores is just so off. 

    I think the creator is from Mexico and all her prior stuff does not have the best of reviews. She said she was approached by HBO due to a movie she made with super natural elements. I like others taped out about caring who done it after the first episode but will watch till the end because of Jodie Foster.

     

    p.s. I have never been to Alaska and I kept thinking what kind of town that far north in Alaska has more than two cops and is that big.

  5. Sark please learn from Josh Allen. Sometimes you just have to take what they give you. That idiot had a route that would have given him a first down on second down. He goes deep and then on third down he could have gotten some yards that would of made the field goal under 40 yards he looks deep. He did it last week when he needed 7 yards to kill a ton more clock to end the game but went for the deep ball. Last week it did not hurt him in the end but when will he learn.

    Chicago Bears 

    They made an appearance into nfc championship game in 2006. Washington is the only team with a longer streak than the boys. Hope new owner beats Jerry unless Jerry retires.

  8. For years I said Jerry had turned the Cowboys into the Detroit Lions. Now I am going to have to figure out what other the shitty franchise I can compare the Cowboys too since Detroit just took themselves off the list. Maybe the Cowboys are all on their own now. Hell even Houston looks closer to an AFC championship game than the Cowboys and now they have won more playoff games than the Cowboys in the time span they have existed.

    Jerrah deserves what he gets and those that believe that Jerrah wants to win at all cost have always been idiots. Jerrah wants to be right when it is clear he don't have fucking clue. Fuck you Jerry Jones that is all.

    The most misleading rankings system to date.  

    Lazy as hell because at the very least they could rank talent that left that was seeing the field plus and freshman that did not see the field and what is coming in that saw the field for the prior team plus freshman that will be red-shirt freshman or sophomores. Then that would be more of an indicator of what took place in the portal talent wise.

    They cropped out the part showing that their class is nearly ALL BREAD.

    They were doing the average before losing McKinley but now they are doing the ranking on the transfer portal. Lets just say there are 11 teams ahead of them on average and Texas is #2 on that list.
