Has there been talk of a third season?

by RealGunner Mon 28 Dec 2015 - 21:25

Yea.

100% there will be a black actor as a lead.

by El Gunner Mon 28 Dec 2015 - 21:35

And you know this how hmm

by RealGunner Mon 28 Dec 2015 - 21:37

After TD1, there was an outrage of no female characters. TD2 had whats her face as lead actress. Neither of season 1 or 2 had any strong black characters. TD3 will have that in it.

I saw ass on 3 separate occasions hmm

we all did :datass: :nohomo:

but thats what feminists complained about. Women being treated like objects in S1

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon 28 Dec 2015 - 21:49

Will never understand their logic tbh.

It's like complaining about a film set in the 70s and before and complaining about racism. Do you want it to be true to the story they are telling or not lol?

Sure it's not nice but that's how things were, to lie about it and not confront it as a medium is worse than being overly PC.

by Freeza Mon 28 Dec 2015 - 21:55

Nic Pizzolato don't give a shit about anyone other than him and his story. I highly doubt that's why they had a female lead.

Don't think there'll be another season after a lot hated the second. He's also supposed to produce Galveston soon I think. Hope it gets made.

by Tomwin Lannister Mon 28 Dec 2015 - 22:37

Feminists lol

Last I heard they were complaining about women starting up some bra & panties football league. Where the WOMEN involved are VOLUNTARILY doing it. Let's be real, 99% of their complaints these days are just out of spite and jealousy that attractive women have more opportunities than them.

by El Gunner Mon 28 Dec 2015 - 22:52

What pisses me off most is that every little thing that is said is debated. Like men have to be so careful now of what they say in public, social media, etc because the slightest thing will be analysed. And now we have to change our vocabulary and the manner in which we've been talking for centuries.

All that matters is that women should be respected more (Most already do respect women, it's just some assholes who have issues who don't). Get more opportunities in jobs where men are more prominent (but based on merit and qualifications of course) and lessen the difference in the wage gap. And women should understand that there's a reason why we're male and they're female, because there should be a difference in species and of the way things are done! There'll always be a few things which men will be better at and vice versa, and things a few things that are expected more from women.

Off-topic rant/

Feminists are mostly ok, it's the new age feminazis that we should be worried about, stupid bitches like Anita Sarkeesian who probably doesn't know the history of feminism while going on endless rants about why all men are bad and in the process earning tons of money.

My first comments were excessively negative because I didn't like the final , probably I hoped in a different final .. but I reevaluated T2 then , despite I feel was sometimes a wasted potential . Some characters, or scenes could be valued better than it imo.
anyway the TD2s songs were great imo , the only thing better than TD1, very appreciated by me.

Michael Lombardo, HBO President of Programming wrote:Our biggest failures—and I don’t know if I would consider “True Detective 2”—but when we tell somebody to hit an air date as opposed to allowing the writing to find its own natural resting place, when it’s ready, when it’s baked—we’ve failed. And I think in this particular case, the first season of “True Detective” was something that Nic Pizzolatto had been thinking about, gestating, for a long period of time. He’s a soulful writer. I think what we did was go, “Great.” And I take the blame. I became too much of a network executive at that point. We had huge success. “Gee, I’d love to repeat that next year.”

Well, you know what? I set him up. To deliver, in a very short time frame, something that became very challenging to deliver. That’s not what that show is. He had to reinvent the wheel, so to speak. Find his muse. And so I think that’s what I learned from it. Don’t do that anymore.

well that could be a good explanation

by Freeza Mon 27 Mar 2017 - 21:57

Seems like season 3 is on. David Milch is going to write it with Nic PIzzolato

by RealGunner Mon 27 Mar 2017 - 22:00

Sounds promising.

If they give both of them time to writer it'll be amazing.

Haven't seen all of Deadwood. But never heard a bad thing about it. He wrote it all by himself basically.

Also can't wait for Nic Pizzolato's film adaptation of Galveston directed by my girl Melanie Laurent with Ben Foster in the lead Proud

by RealGunner Mon 27 Mar 2017 - 22:10

Yea deadwood always got high praise. Think few here watched it too?

I think 2 years of absence must have done good on them to realise what went wrong in season 2. Really hope it doesn't cast 20 stars for 8 episodes. But they also shouldn't try too hard to replicate season 1 because that's impossible.

by Tomwin Lannister Mon 27 Mar 2017 - 22:51

S1 was just unbelievable

S2 was way too rushed, had glimpses of awesome stuff in it, but stupidly put together. I imagine they won't/can't afford to make the same mistake twice.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon 27 Mar 2017 - 22:57

Deadwood is *bleep* amazing.

On TD i absolutely adored season 1, actually binge watched it all the way through which i rarely do because i have bad attention spans when it comes to TV series.

Didn't watch Season 2 even though i have both on Blu Ray because of the rep it got.

by Tomwin Lannister Mon 27 Mar 2017 - 23:04

I'd still watch it, still a 7.5/10 Imo with some great moments. It's just a convoluted mess compared to S1 but then again if I compared most tv shows to S1 i'd be disappointed again and again.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon 27 Mar 2017 - 23:07

Yeah i thought when i finished 1 that i'm gonna pretend 2 doesn't exist Laughing

But if 3 is happening i might as well watch it.

by Freeza Mon 27 Mar 2017 - 23:12

Loved season 2. I'm a minority though.
Colin Farrell is worth it. Some of his lines needs to put in the hall of fame with that moustache of his

by Tomwin Lannister Tue 28 Mar 2017 - 1:34

His Moustache is the reason I gave the show a 7.5 not a 7 tbf.

His scenes in I think the very first episode, with his kid and the other kids dad rofl

lad.

by Firenze Tue 28 Mar 2017 - 1:44

Season 2 was decent. Just couldn't live up to Season 1 since it was fairly rushed. Had some good moments and was well shot.

by Freeza Wed 29 Mar 2017 - 18:43

Hope season 3 will deliver moments like this
