Okay, you cowards. I know you’re all watching despite your protestations. I thought plot development moved along quite well this episode. We see that Holder is not what he appeared to be.
and that
there is a vast right wing conspiracy involving most of the police department.
It still moves a bit slowly, but better than last season.
I was disappointed with both episodes. While we did learn a few character related things, we really learned nothing new as far as suspects go.
I’m not a coward. They lost me at last season’s season finale, when they went back on their promise to reveal the real killer. I’m not watching The Killing anymore.
J.
Watched them, nothing’s changed, new bullshit, (Dirty Cops? Come the fuck ON), I’m out.
I watched season 1, but I’m not watching season 2. I did read that the ratings for the season 2 premiere are down 33 percent compared to the season 1 premiere.
Yeah, and it not just a few dirty cops, they seem to be pushing the Serpico angle way too hard and making it seem like everybody except her is dirty.
I admit I watched the season 2 premiere out of curiosity. By the end of the 2nd hour, I knew I wasn’t coming back. There’s plenty else to watch on Sunday night that’s actually entertaining (hello, Mythbusters!)
Hah! So you admit to watching. 
As for the vast conspiracy: I think it’s more that the street cops have heard through the grapevine that she’s a bit off her nut, so they’re steering clear and staring. Dirty cops? Sure, why not, since the original plot line sorta went to hell and now they’ve got to stretch this out for another entire season. I may not make it either, but will stay with it for a couple more eps.
I’ll admit I like the writing on the show, I liked all of Season 1 up to the end when they betrayed what I saw as an implied (if not quite as explicit as I thought) promise to the viewer.
But I still liked the writing. And I liked the premiere of Season 2 (though if they want to stick with the episode per day they’re going to have to kill all of the kids). Since I am confident they learned their lesson from the backlash I’ll keep watching until I don’t like it. But they better fulfill the now explicit promise. And I expect that the backlash will probably kill the show and their won’t be a third season anyway.
I thought the first ep was an improvement over the general quality of the last half of the first season, but they’re gonna have to step up their game - and the storyline - for me to finish the second season.
From a review I read, the pace doesn’t pick up much. I don’t mind methodical pacing, as long as the plot moves along.
Even though it has lost quite a bit of momentum from last season, I thought that it was good enough to continue watching it. I do kind of wish they hadn’t been so specific regarding the exact episode in which the killer’s identity will be revealed, but I guess they felt they needed to be extra-honest to make up for the way they bungled the end of the first season.
so - I quit watchng, but i still want to know
Who the frack killed her?
See the post above yours. Last show of the season.
I’m still watching it, but I’ve stopped caring who the killer is. I’ve come to really like the Linden and Holder characters, and mainly I’m just rooting that THEY find out who the killer is. Who the killer actually is – dirty cop? Political rival? Internet billionaire guy? Pick one. It doesn’t really matter to me.
I’ll DVR it. They really are some stupid cops though. Linden gives a fake name to a sheriff, her phone rings and she answers “Linden” right in front of the person she just gave a fake name to.
I really don’t get the complaints at all. Knowing there was going to be an entire second season of this show, why on Earth would anyone believe they would find the killer at the half-way point?
Anyway I think it’s awesome.
Well, finding the killer need not end the mystery, it could just be the entry point into another mystery. That’s what I which they’d done at the end of the last season if they didn’t want to go the “new season, new murder” route.
Give us the killer, and then reveal that it was part of some larger shadowy conspiracy. Instead we get the second part without the first.
Bullshit. The whole premise of the show is “who killed her?” When you find that out, it means the show is over. The whiners are retarded in thinking otherwise. They’ve done a great job of hitting all the suspense points so far and IMO it just keeps getting more and more interesting as the story continues to unravel.
Deleted the season pass. I’m officially out.
