Can't have an HBO series without gratuitous nudity. Thank you, HBO.

Kids in the canoe needed life vests. No other show comments from me.

Actually, it looked exactly the same as the brothel Ava (and now Dewey Crowe) runs on "Justified." I half expected to see Raylan Givins pull up as they were leaving.

Same here. I have the feeling the Governor has something to do with everything. The "there's a war going on out there" comment in the 1st episode and then sending in the other 2 detectives along with MM keeping case details from them hints to me there could be something to the guy.

I gotta re-watch it tonight because I had some football beers and details are fuzzy....plus I need to make sure I didn't miss something in the scene where she takes her shirt off. I'm pretty sure I caught every detail but I just wanna be certain. Wow!

Hot damn, those were nice.

So far it seems like they're setting up MM as a suspect, but I think we can all agree that that would be a little too obvious. The two black detectives have mentioned more than once that "they're interested in the way Cole handled the case" as if maybe he intentionally led them down the wrong path because he had something to do with it. I don't think Cole is involved, but they seem to be hinting at it. Anyways, love this show so far and can't wait to see where it takes us.

I believe that's a top 5 all-time HBO nude scene for me, and that's going back to the Dream On era.

Why did MM check his pulse after his confrontation?

With all the drugs he's taking and took in the past maybe he's worried about heart issues.

I think it's due to his past work. He killed people, probably went off his rocker. He wanted to check his pulse to make sure even though things got testy there that he wasn't having a full-blown meltdown.

That's my best guess, and it's obviously something that we will find out more about down the road.

Something I noticed that I thought was pretty cool / interesting was that MM didn't have a mirror in his house except for a small circle that he could use to check his eyes. I don't know if that was meant to be anything, but it definitely had me thinking.
Bunk Moreland

he can't stand the site of himself after what he did.

Guess I should give my prediction now...Rust accidentally killed his daughter, possibly after having been drinking.

Sunk himself in undercover work after his marriage feel apart to try and escape it all.

my reasons: he said she died in a car accident, and then he talked about her playing on her trike in the driveway.

I toopk that as she was playing in the driveway on her tricycle, Rust should have been watching her but he wasn't, she wandered out in the street and got hit by a car.

But it is still ubiquitous I give you that. That's one of the things that's cool about this show, you can start to piece together the facts from their testimonies, but you never get the whole story at once, just bits and pieces like a whole second mystery going on at the same time as the real mystery.
Bunk Moreland

there you go. Good guess. You'll probably be right. One way or another I think the death was "on him."

I know he mentioned that they lived on a bend in a road which made me believe he wasn't paying attention to her rather than he backed her over (ala a show on AMC which I won't name unless people in here haven't seen it).

I like how this show puts past, present and future all together through flashbacks, stories, interviews, car rides. They just slowly reveal little by little about before they were partners, to during, to afterwards.
Very cool way to tell a story and develop these characters.

I think I fell in love last night. I couldn't get her out of my mind and have the GIFs saved to my phone.

Thought this episode moved things along at a quicker pace than the pilot. Seems like they added some music which helps. I also think MM is killing this role. Great to get some very riveting info on his character's back-story.

One thing I noticed is that when Rust is being interviewed by the black detectives every once in a while it turns very interrogation like. Almost like the script flips and they're actually interrogating him rather than gathering information on the case.

I also like how every important conversation about the case seems to happen in the car. This gets me excited everytime the get into the car because I expect a nugget being dropped.

And slow clap for the nude scene. Even got the wife's seal of approval as she happened to walk-in right as she flopped them out and said 'Man those are some tig oles'.

Agree. Some of the other nominees for top 5, in no particular order, are:

Lake Bell in How to Make it in America

The Roz-Rookie lesson in GOT while Littlefinger instructed

McNulty's Ex-wife "for old time's sake" bang

Tony's peyote fueled Vegas slam


A couple that I am hopeful for:

The intrepreter / slave girl Missandei
The room-mate in Hello Ladies

Discuss.

First things first: Alexandra Daddario's sweater puppies are glorious. Absolutely phenomenal.

Ok, glad I got that out of the way.

Loved the 2nd episode. MM is killing it.

Was anyone confused by the ending? I didn't get the significance of the paining on the burned church's wall.

It was showing that whoever their killer is he was there at one point in time because the painting was very familiar to how they found that dead girl in the first episode.

Was watching with the wife. When THE SCENE started, I was staring at the screen, completely mesmerized. I looked over and happened to notice that the wife was smirking. My remark in my best nonplussed nonchalance:

The wife....was not fooled.

Nick Sobatka's gf from the Wire season 2 needs to be in top ten.

So you guys aren't putting Lena Dunham in any of your top 5?

Sobatka's girl is top 3.

But that scene was ridiculous.

I'll echo Clay Travis and say WH pulled one over on the studio when he got paid to do that scene.

Lord.

that would be bottom 5 all time which would include the geriatrics in Tell Me You Love Me and every Euro segment from Real Sex

It was a girl with antlers painted on her head with a pose similar to the dead girl. So, basically, the church on the flyer that led them to that location is likely connected to the killer in some way.
