There are plot spoilers in this one, so if anyone didn't watch till last episode better skip this reply.

Many. How in one instance they are fighting this unstopable secret organisation that has a full team watching and fallowing everyone and the next they just go unoticed to companies hq. The whole civil servant thing was inconsistent too, he could have and should have been killed easily or diiscredited him or whatever (after they used him). Anyway, it's 3 am here and tomorrow work, but I just finished last episode s2e5 so better sleep :D Oh and wilson going to the top of the food chain for a moment? :D

Is the show still going now will the next ep be? hopefully tomorrow :D And hopefully psycho brother survives

the thing that makes most secret organizations lethal is their size, it needs to be a dozen people tops who just subcontract jobs. the civil servant was still needed to corroborate test results and they had his fam anyway so use him until he 'expires'. Also for the company hq remember milner wanted them there she even helped them with the arson job. As for wilson, it makes perfect sense for me, a man so committed to the cause he forgave them for killing his dad and taking out his eye, not to mention really brilliant

Nah for me there are really weird that just doesn't add up. A person who killed everyone who knew her name (apart that one dude, who with all that expirience died very stupidly) would just let someone even so commited so fast and so high up the ladder. All of this is based on her ability to manipulate everything and seeing how she was emotionaly attached to the daugter and scientist I just don't think it's possible. She is one crazy person for sure, only the yellow psycho is crazier then here, he just creeps me out :D

Though I have been watching this show in the middle of drinking spree of 4 straight days, so I might be a bit more paranoid then usual.

True story: 3am i go out for a smoke before going to bed, see that door unlocked, don't remember if I locked it, go outside for a smoke, come back and check the flat for assassins, check thoroughly and find no assassins Now go to sleep without worry :D

into it? didn't that one get cancelled shortly after it started?
I think I saw a couple of episodes but never felt going back to it. An alright show but nothing special, iirc.

Let's make a Batman show without Batman. Also let's make young Bruce Wayne and all the villains know each other since early childhood because fuck you, that's why.

Recipe for huge success for sure.

There's a good comic about solely the police efforts in Gotham and their perspective called Gotham Central. Generally the struggles and procedures of the cops in such an unusual city (when Batman was Batman, and not a little kid Bruce Wayne) . Bit noire ish.

But this despite having thematic similarities, seems to be about a young Jim Gordon and bizarrely enough about the villains when they were teens? Ridiculous, they emerged as villains only after Batman became Batman, not before. Who wants to see what they were doing when Bruce was 12 years old kid?

Either way not much info out about the series. But either way it's made by Fox so it will be short lived.

I watched The Knick. Steven Soderbergh is usually pretty spot-on, and I'm not a softy for any period piece, but the show has some issues. It celebrates the gruesome a bit much for the bored 14-year-old viewers, as does The Walking Dead with every sloshing zombie sound when their heads get pierced with pick-axes. Otherwise some of the visuals are good. The subplot about the black assistant head surgeon seems a little contrived for modern viewers.

I may give it a couple more eps to impress me.

Interesting. I had high hopes for this one, Clive Owen being a bonus, but I'm not interested in that kind of gruesomeness. We shall see.

Clive is also one of the big names behind the production too. It could have potential, but as I said ... it has some issues to work out.

yes

i loved that first scene :D i wanna post that shit on facebook for all the environmentally 'conscious' fags out there
:D

I'm a bit disapointed that it didn't end. I like shows that have 10 series or so and that's it, not dragging it all out. This ain't no drama and it seems it has more and more in it.

Question, do you think the psycho brother was just left in the hospital? That wouldn't make any sense (just one of those logical leaps of the show I was talking about).

You got excuse for everything :D

Didn't lee try to kill him before they knew who those agents were and before he got orders to kill them? Wouldn't lee know that him not killing and telling about it will somehow get out considering who he failed to kill? Btw, Lee was that yellow psycho? :D

wilson didnt give him a chance to and killed him well to kill him, which would be ironic since killing lee was not necessary and could very well be the reason behind wilson's demise

oh and yes lee is the yellow psycho :p

Well I was kind of disapointed he didn't get tortured, but it was a good choice ending him considering everything.

And yes, you do have excuse for everything :D

But wouldn't he have reported to that weird woman who popped from nowhere? And in the last scene if I remember she talked with wilson before leaving him with the bloke that has the worst and the best luck in the show :D

I mean it's like mega inteligence organisation, and thing like this should have slipped. I mean the brother is such badass killing machine that it's too important just let it slide like you say.

As for the wilsons demise I wouldn't be surprised at all. Because if he's caught too I see no other way for the group to survive.

I'm looking forward to that scenario actually, because it would mean a whole lot more of the brother killing many people.

P.S. I hope wilson looses his second I for all the flip flopping he had :D

So next season is only next year like with every show? :/
