True Detective: Episode Four Recap

Since King Hippo donned that bird mask and still has yet to emerge from the sex dungeon, I thought I’d help out and do a recap of last night’s episode.  I haven’t actually been watching the show this season, but based on osmosis via the internet I’m pretty sure I got the gist of things.  Without further ado, here’s what happened during the episode.

First…

And then…
 
freeway7
But they weren’t expecting that…
 
freeway3
And then things took a darker turn…
 

Meanwhile…
 

And then we found out the mayor’s secret…

So by the end of the episode things were looking pretty bleak.
 
 

Sorry, OSZ, I couldn’t resist.

And for those who haven’t seen Season 1, here is a quick recap of that:

I’m two episodes behind because I decided to start watching Netflix’s Bloodline last week.

In other words, Bloodline consumed my life last week.

King Hippo

I have indeed fallen down on the job. Episode 3 was more of a setup episode, plus I was all kinds of lazy last week. Just finished #4 on the DVR, and I really liked it.

Substantively, Vaughn had his best episode yet. He’s back in the gutter and loving it. Happy as the proverbial pig in shit. We get an extended shootout scene, and we see real human emotion in the fallout, as wonderfully acted by McAdams and Farrell.

Wooden Dildo is still Wooden Dildo. He drank enough demon alkeehawl to let his inner gay self out to play, then panicked into the saddest diner shotgun engagement ever. JUST DIE ALREADY, TAYLOR KITSCH.

Speaking of which, the best part of episode 3 was the doctor asking Farrell if he really wanted to live. He doesn’t answer. I’m not sure if he really knows for sure, or if he just doesn’t want to admit to himself that he doesn’t. Because he really is looking for a grenade to jump on top of, anything to maybe make his not-really son make him think he was something other than a complete failure piece of shit. And he wants this last case cleared, and cleared right. He and McAdams will see that through to the end, worry ye not.

McAdams is also sorta reconciling with her sister, which is gonna get her and Ferrell tipped off to a big orgy-type thingy which will be their big break in re-opening the case and bringing the dickholes (h/t, Sweet Dee Reynolds, HIPPO STILL LUVS U!!!!) to justice. Or better, to the business end of McAdams’ family heirloom blade.

Who stays in the closet when there’s waffles on the table?! This show is completely unrealistic. IT’S MORNING AFTER BRUNCH!

I really liked the part in this episode where there was angst.

Horatio Cornblower

Jesus you must have masturbated for 48 minutes.

Old School Zero

More like 58 and I still didn’t get satisfaction.

+10 Angst. OSZ has attained a new level of Angst

I feel like I should have grabbed your autograph when I could have, Mr. Nick Polizzotto!

This is awesome! #3 has gotten me by the balls many a time!

I don’t know if it’s sad or impressive, but I can identify every single interchange you showed.

Old School Zero

THIS IS PERFECT. You get the scratch and sniff Grape Job! sticker today.
