Best scene of the season.

Awesome.

Lol Not to say it wasn't good stuff but real life knocking someone out without alerting others, missing henchmen, breaking in with out alarms, not really a chase given after they get in the car. What the hell kind of sex party is this. The organizers got the pussy down right but left the security lack.

And also to the party -- I guess 2 bleeding dudes were not the concern of high as shit party goers. "Wait, let me get my nut off before I do anything else." says the dude having sex in the stairway hall.

What was great about the fire fight in the street -- realistic. The "Mansion Scene" -- Hollywood fodder.

The old man orgy I coulda done without. So much about it made little sense, was contrived, etc.

Ani is fierce with the blade though.


I'm finding this season I care far more about the characters than I do the plot.

That reminds me of the scene at the end from Unforgiven with Eastwood...

How fucking terrible was that scene with the cop girl at the whore party...

Great death scene though. Took out those assholes first. Never thought I'd see Vaughn in a serious role. He's been awesome. Man on a mission in this episode. Can't wait for the finale.

It's so tempting to scroll up but I must resist.

That death wasn't done right. They were in tunnels that run under the whole city; how did the cop even know he would exit from that location? Something was left out that would explain his bad luck.

Ugh. Exactly. So frustrating. It's stuff like this that pisses me off about the show. Some things are overly complex, whilst other like this is absolutely not thought through. Almost like they got lazy.

Just finished watching season 2 finale. Gun fight scene in middle of season was a great scene. IMO, every other aspect of the season was a total mess. Sat through 8 episodes waiting for things to get really interesting and it just never got momentum it could sustain. Complete disappointment vs. season 1 (which I didn't like for the first few episodes but loved by the end).

It was always going to be tough to live up to season 1 with performances from McConaughey and Harrelson. I thought there were some good episodes and not so good. Vaughn impressed me in a serious role. I just think they took their characters a bit too seriously. The opening to the finale episode was slow and I thought it ended pretty well. Obviously, Ray could have taken the transponder off or just took the money and try to run. But, they had to make a melodramatic ending.
