I just re-watched the motorcycle cop scene. I think this is how it went down:
She offered to “work out” the ticket. He refused and wrote her a ticket. She, angry at being scorned (and trying desperately to get out of trouble - she was wearing an ankle monitor, so she had priors), lied at the jailhouse and said the cop demanded a blow job. This led to an Internal Affairs investigation, and the cop’s suspension pending the investigation.
Yeah, I took that from that scene as well.
I read it that way too, but he’s so strange, I would not be surprised if he did actually go to her place and then she reported it as something it wasn’t.
I don’t know. He’s just weird.
I’m really undecided. Season one was incredible, and I remember being hooked right away, but my husband reminded me that it had gotten off to a slow start that I just forgot about once the ride really started. Season two has more characters, which made for a choppy, complicated first episode. I really didn’t care much about the awful people doing shitty things for vague reasons (it really did feel kind of like a bad Law & Order episode), but… the ending has me curious to see where this goes.
Ultimately the first season had me hooked largely because I’m a fan of horror & serial killer movies, but the main characters were also interesting and Matthew McConaughey had apparently learned how to act since the last time I saw him in something. So far season two doesn’t have much that grabs me.
It’s the difficult second album.
Other way. She surprised her guy with wanting to do anal and he was briefly taken aback.
I knew it was something “kinky”, but I missed the whole clue that it was anal. I was thinking B&D or somesuch. Was it actually explicitly called out?
There is absolutely nothing in the episode that points to this being about anal. :dubious: Not one thing.
We’ll find out later I presume when she is with some other guy I’d imagine. But we don’t have enough info right now.
If I had to guess (and again, we haven’t been give a single clue) I’d guess violence - slapping, choking etc. It fits the current narrative at least.
I was thinking the same thing. There was nothing to indicate what her kink was, just that she wanted it and he wasn’t so sure.
You made this up in your head, right?
It wasn’t explicitly said but that’s also what I thought it was referring to (anal). Didn’t he say something like “I didn’t think most girls were into that”?
That could refer to a number of different things.
The line “I didn’t think women liked that…” heavily implied that it’s a common practice that is widely understood that most women don’t like.
For example, if it was watersports, I think it would be weird for him to say “I didn’t think women liked that” because it would be weird for him to have thought about it much at all. More natural would be “I never thought about that…” or “That never occurred to me…”
It also has to be something that she could have actively just tried, which rules out something like him choking her.
Basically, they hit us over the head with a 2x4 heavily implying it was anal. If you want to believe it was something unusual and out of the mainstream there’s nothing I can do to “prove” it, but you’re really hearing hoofbeats and thinking zebra.
Highly doubtful. It was almost certainly a throw-away bit, much like in season one when that girl called up Marty and told him she wanted to try anal with him. At this point I’m thinking it’s just Nic Pizzolatto’s kink.
The hoofbeats and zebra thing is a good rule in the real world, but this is fiction and the less obvious possibilities are often more entertaining and therefore at least as likely as the more obvious.
And then we find out later that Mr CHiPs can’t get it up, so of course his suspension is bullshit.
I found the episode boring but I’ll stay for Taylor Kitsch in tight jeans.
I’m hearing?? You are inventing this being anal out of whole cloth, without any clues at all in the episode, and stated that we were “hit over the head with a 2x4 heavily” and then state that we are hearing things???
It could be anything that is outside what “her boyfriend” who appears (appears, we don’t know) a bit nerdish and not experienced, out of the norm. That covers a ton of ground.
You maybe correct. But it wouldn’t surprise me if the show circles back to her violent nature, and takes this violent nature to the bedroom, and then ties these two things together.
No, I’m not asking anyone to prove anything. It just seemed like people we so certain, but nobody said specifically why. I usually watch stuff outside during the summer, and sometimes there’s noise in the neighborhood and I miss things. That is all.
My impression as well. In addition to the dude saying he didn’t think women were into that, he was all into going back to bed to do it. I think that’s far less likely for choking or slapping (and if it was that, you’d think he’d want to start trying to be more aggressive in the kitchen to get her back in that mood).
Yes, well. I’m sure “was it anal?” will be the new “was Tony whacked?” But to get us off the dirt road and back onto the main highway…
I had mixed feelings about this episode, which at times seemed like Law & Order: Extra Gritty Unit. Nothing against Vince Vaughn, but I’m not immediately buying him as a crime boss or whatever, and it’s gonna take more than slightly mussed hair and bad posture to make Rachel McAdams look like a hard-boiled detective instead of a model who needs to stand up straight and comb her hair.
David Morse as a creepy California cult guy, however, worked surprisingly well. I half expected to see Don Draper in the background somewhere.
So by definition, any act between a man and a woman that a man would think women are not into is without exception anal, to the exclusion of all else. Regret I missed such an obvious point.
