Not sure if I'm going to watch this season or not yet.

keg in kc 04-01-2012 10:33 AM

I have it DVR'd, we'll see how the premeire is.

Deberg_1990 04-02-2012 07:16 AM

Well, ive only watched the first hour from last night so far and ive got to say it was pretty decent. Looks like they are developing a "Conspiracy Theory" plotline now, which may or may not include Holder?
Hmmmmmm....


Where did Mitch go?

the Talking Can 04-02-2012 08:56 AM

I finally watched the 2nd hour and liked it alot. Seems faster paced this year. I dug how they brought Linden back into the fold, and how she sti doesnt trust Holder yet. Linden and Holder are by far the best parts about the show IMO.

Pitt Gorilla 04-05-2012 06:18 PM

The hospital waiting scenes were horribly boring. Other than that, it was quite good.

BigRock 04-06-2012 01:43 AM

I haven't watched the new episodes yet, but I saw this on another board. Overly dramatic critic, or does this about sum it up?

Quote:

THE KILLING'S GRAND CONSPIRACY EXPLAINED

Mayor's Aide: Thank you, Gil Sloan, police lieutenant and close friend of Detective Holder, for giving me all the information you're privy to from the Rosie Larsen investigation. We've got mayoral candidate Darren Richmond right where we want him.

Gil: We sure do.

Mayor's Aide: We know that Rosie, the murdered underage escort, was at the island Indian casino the night she died. We know that Richmond hired prostitutes from the service she worked for and that he has no alibi for the night in question. And even though they can’t prove it, we know the police suspect that Richmond was meeting this underage girl and paying her for sex.

Gil: So should I leak this to the press? Or did you want to? I mean, an underage girl! And a dead one at that! Richmond's done for! There's no way he's winning this election.

Mayor's Aide: Hang on, Gil. You’re not seeing the whole picture.

Gil: What do you mean?

Mayor's Aide: We know where the girl's body was found. If her killer drove there from the casino, there's only one route he could have used to leave the casino without taking the ferry. What if we could produce evidence showing Richmond driving on that very route the night she was killed?

Gil: How would we do that? Wait, WHY would we do that?

Mayor’s Aide: To ruin him, of course!

Gil: So is the "****ing underage girls" thing not enough, or...?

Mayor's Aide: Come on, Gil, that’s small potatoes. If we really want Richmond out of the way, he needs to go down for this girl’s murder.

Gil: ...I...

Mayor’s Aide: I'll take your stunned silence as agreement. As as I was getting to, we could fake a key piece of evidence. See, when you’re driving on that route away from the casino, you have to go through a toll booth. We could fake a picture of Richmond driving through that toll booth on the night the girl died!

Gil: I... guess. But we'll have to check into some things first. Like the cameras at the toll booth. I mean, it would look pretty bad if we faked this picture and then it turned out the cameras at the toll both weren't even working.

Mayor's Aide: Nah, don't bother. What are the odds of that? Besides, if anything goes wrong in our attempt to frame an innocent man, everyone from the Homicide department to the sheriff’s office to the lab will immediately help us cover it up.

Gil: Very true. Still, even though this department is filled with people who are either corrupt or incompetent, it’s possible there’s someone somewhere who actually knows what they’re doing. When this picture of Richmond surfaces, such a person might check the camera footage and realize that Richmond was never there. We need to get a hold of the camera footage and delete it. And hey, if it turns out the cameras are broken, we'll find out and avoid the embarrassment.

Mayor's Aide: Gil, you're obsessed with the cameras.

Gil: Sorry. I just think we should check them. I mean, hell, maybe Richmond really did kill her. Maybe he actually was driving through that toll booth that night. Then we wouldn't need to fake anything.

Mayor's Aide: Nah, he didn't do it. I just want to win this mayoral election so badly that I'm willing to frame an innocent man for murder.

Gil: Makes sense. So let me sum up: we want to ruin Darren Richmond. But we won’t tell the press that he’s been hiring prostitutes. And we won’t tell them that one of the prostitutes might have been the underage murder victim who’s been all over the news. Instead, our plan is to make things much more complicated and put ourselves at risk by framing him for the murder, and we'll do it in an incredibly sloppy manner that would immediately expose us if anyone bothers to check into our story.

Mayor's Aide: Exactly!

Gil: I’ve got to be honest... I had my doubts at first, but this is brilliant! I'll head home and fire up Photoshop.

Deberg_1990 04-06-2012 06:16 AM

heheh, that was a pretty funny summary and pretty good way to catch up actually.

Show has some flaws of logic yes....but ill wait until the end when they have revealed the full conspiracy and why.

Los Pollos Hermanos 04-08-2012 08:20 PM

Why does every character have a flip phone? You would think that at least one character could afford a phone with a data plan.

aturnis 05-14-2012 07:21 AM

Anyone still watching?

keg in kc 05-14-2012 10:17 AM

I have been, up until the last week. My cable went out saturday night for some reason and isn't back on yet, so I couldn't watch last nights (yet my internet is up, it's weird...).

I've liked this season.

Brock 05-14-2012 10:18 AM

That show is ridiculous. There's not one single character on the show that acts in a logical or even a semi-rational fashion. It's just a mess.

Deberg_1990 05-14-2012 10:20 AM

I am, but im behind. Only on episode 3. I like it, not sure if i love it yet. They seem to have dropped a few storylines.

Deberg_1990 05-14-2012 10:25 AM

Also, its only been like 2 weeks or a little over in the timeline of the show. It uses basically 1 day each episode.

Thats fine, but a ton of sh*t has happened in a two week period. Too much to be believable.

aturnis 05-14-2012 10:26 AM

Catch up. It's been pretty good. A lot going on as well.

KCUnited 05-14-2012 11:44 AM

That mayoral campaign belongs on daytime tv.

aturnis 06-04-2012 08:53 AM

OMFG!

BigRock 06-11-2012 04:12 AM

I got caught up on this show the last two weeks. I don't know why.

The Aunt did it, right?

I fully expect one last swerve and a conclusion that makes no sense, so probably.

BigRock 06-11-2012 07:07 AM

She's the only person left who could have conceivably done it who they haven't tried to swerve everybody with already. And they just said it was probably a woman that did it.

It'd be cool if it was the psycho little brother, though.

Well that was quick. revealed the killer in the first 15 minutes.

Deberg_1990 06-17-2012 07:47 PM

Wow, devasting next reveal

Brock 06-17-2012 07:49 PM

Yeah, sure. that made about as much sense as this entire series has.

Haha, well I'm sure you have read about it by now? What's your take?

The more I've thought about this show, the more irritated I get with it. It's well made, but too many things don't ad up. I guess that's why it was so frustrating to a lot of viewers...

mmm....didnt realize it had got resurrected for a 3rd season.



http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/201...in-may/159903/

Multiple sources report that, though AMC has yet to officially greenlight season 3, the writers of The Killing, including showrunner Veena Sud and executive producers Dawn Prestwich and Nicole Yorkin returned to work this week. AMC is said to be considering a late May premiere. The show was canceled after its second season, but a deal with Netflix that made the show more affordable for AMC resurrected it.

keg in kc 12-03-2012 03:23 PM

Yeah, the Netflix thing was in limbo the last I'd heard, but expected to go forward.

Deberg_1990 01-16-2013 11:04 AM

Officially renewed for season 3


http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/201...-three/165484/


New York, NY – January 15, 2013 – AMC and Fox Television Studios (FTVS) announced today a new deal which will return “The Killing” to AMC for a third season. As part of the deal, Veena Sud returns as executive producer, writer and showrunner along with actors Mireille Enos (Sarah Linden) and Joel Kinnaman (Stephen Holder). Season three will focus on a new case, which will be resolved over the course of 12 episodes. Production on season three begins February 25th in Vancouver.



“‘The Killing’ from day one has been a truly original take on the crime drama. Veena Sud and the rest of the talented creative team are hard at work shaping the lives of Linden and Holder, portrayed by the terrific Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman," said Charlie Collier, AMC’s president. "We're so pleased to welcome back 'The Killing' for another season."



Fox TV Studios President, David Madden, said, “We have always believed in 'The Killing' and remain extremely proud of it, which is why we all worked so hard to find a scenario that could give it new life.”



“I couldn’t be happier to know that I will be returning to work with AMC, FTVS and Mireille and Joel on what is and has always been a passion project for me. To the fans that have supported the series, thank you for doing so. My team and I will work hard to deliver the best story that we can for season three,” said Veena Sud.



A year after closing the Rosie Larsen case, Sarah Linden is no longer a detective. But when her ex-partner Stephen Holder's search for a runaway girl leads him to discover a gruesome string of murders that connects to a previous murder investigation by Linden, she is drawn back into the life she thought she'd left behind.



“The Killing” is produced by Fox Television Studios and executive produced by Mikkel Bondesen for Bondesen Productions. Kristen Campo serves as co-executive producer.



The series premiered on AMC Sunday, April 3, 2011, with season two premiering Sunday, April 1, 2012. The Killing averaged 1.9 million viewers over the 2 seasons.



AMC’s Joel Stillerman, executive vice president of original programming, production and digital content, Susie Fitzgerald, senior vice president of scripted development and current programming and Jason Fisher, senior vice president of production oversee production of the series for the network.

I don't know that I have the stamina for another storyline.

I'm through the first four hours now, and after the (too long) bit with her working on the ferry, it's picked up. I'm really digging this season. It almost has a Wire feel to it.

Brock 06-23-2013 02:00 PM

Did they ever reveal who killed Laura Palmer?

The 4th season of The Killing made me want to re-watch season 2 of Homeland just to get the stink off me. So bad in so many ways. The story has more holes in it than a John Dorsey built secondary and I'm convinced they had someone's tween daughter guest write the ending.

Coochie liquor 08-19-2014 06:57 PM

I'm about halfway thru season 4. I thought 1-2 were very good, 3 was good, 4 is good so far. Maybe I'm weird but I can watch shows/movies without picking them part too much. Just go with the flow, makes a lot of shows better.

Mennonite 08-20-2014 06:37 PM

I just watched the first three episodes of the original Danish version "Forbrydelsen." It's not grabbing me. It just seems like a typical thriller drawn out for 20 episodes.

I have watched a lot of movies over the years, and i think it's ruined my attention span. I don't think I will be finishing this one.

SPOILERS:

I think the killer will be the dumb guy who works as a mover for the murdered girls dad. Not from any real clues or anything, but because he was shown being racist towards a Pakistani (Movie logic: Racists are bad. Murderers are bad. Racists are therefore murderers), and because he had a big band-aid on his neck. Also the girl was likely killed by someone she knew.

I'm probably wrong about that, but I just don't care enough to watch another 17 hours to find out.
