Ha ha, he thinks people think the finale was the problem.

Finally finished watching this last night. I guess im not upset by the final twist too much. I just wish that they hadnt turned Holder into a bad guy. I like his character and they had built up quite alot of goodwill with him the past few weeks. Ill still watch next season.....what the heck.

I'm just not convinced he's a "bad guy" yet. We don't know who he's working for or (ultimately) what they want.

The finally was fine. The only problems I had with it were/are the same problems I've had with the entire series. But the cliffhanger ending and Holder's revelation were fine. I honestly can't fathom why anyone would be upset by it. Disappointed? Okay. Let down. Fine. But upset? Whatever.

I was never all that invested in it to begin with, so maybe that's why I'm surprised by all the passionate dissent.

But even if Holder is a bad guy now, it makes sense. The writing has been on the wall the whole season. The guy's always been a little skeezey.

I think the main problem is it appears the show never really resolves anything. The entire season the pattern was to trail a suspect for an episode or two, conclude with some shocking revelation, then pull the rug out from under you at the beginning of the next episode. Reboot.... I suspect thats what will happen at the beginning of season 2.

Holder wont be bad, because they havent showed who he was talking to in the car, and they never "technically" showed Richmond getting shot.

Exactly. You've hit the nail on the head, me thinks.

Has anyone seen the British version? All I know, is they better not expect me to remember all the details of this season.

Funny story. So my wife wants me to see this glamorous video of a friend of her's from high school. I watch the video and get bored until I realized that the girl in the video is the aunt from The Killing. Wait, THAT is your friend?!? I had tried to get her to watch the show last year but she had no interest. Now, she wants to watch season one to see her buddy and I have no interest (due to the drawn-out nature of the show and the lack of a payoff). Anyway, small world.

Heh. Funny story. That aunt character is who I think ended up killing Rosie.

Bump for season 2 premiere tonight. I'm still watching and intrigued. AMC running a marathon of season 1 right now.

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

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

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?

it got better as it went...I still find myself not caring about the family at all, wish it was just the procedural stuff...

I'm with you on the family stuff, said the same last year, but all-in-all I liked the premiere. Gonna keep watching.
