One thing I was wondering is why did Naz attend Flushing High School if he was from Jackson Heights? It's a minor thing but if you're from Queens like me, you might wonder about that too. Flushing, despite it's landmark status for being the oldest high school in NYC, isn't really a good school. Plus with Naz being from JH means he's not zoned to Flushing. So he most likely didn't choose Flushing and nor was he forced to go there because of zoning. It probably has no real bearing on the story, it's just something I noticed as a Queens New Yorker.

The directing and writing in this show is top notch.

I need a link for this ASAP.

 

Aug 22, 2016

I finally found a link around 5 AM. I was checking TPB like every hour.

Anyway, AWESOME episode. Dr. Katz was shinin' in this one on the stand til the c---- Prosecutor made him state the obvious. The 4th knife theory does make everything pretty interesting. Mickey Doyle is a douche. I saw that confrontation coming.

I wonder what's up with the intro though. I guess Detective whateverthefuck noting the similarities between the murders is starting to be convinced that Nas may be innocent. I'll elaborate more after a few listens but the way they ended this episode was brilliant imo. Michael K. Williams may NEVER play a role like Omar again, but he's been phenomenal in this series. So far he's given 0 f---s. If I'm not mistaken, he's in prison for murder anyway... Correct me if I'm wrong. I saw that s--- coming with Petey. I think Freddy realizes that he's only known Nas a little while, but he can trust him implicitly.

So ready for the final episode. Hope they don't leave any loose ends. And with the luck I had finding this episode, I probably won't be able to find it til October lol.

That prosecutors voice is terrible

They have a lot to sum up in the last hour. I really have no idea who killed the girl.

Chandra got to Box last episode. Box still deep down thinks Naz is innocent. I think he'll end up finding the real killer. That being said i think Naz might still get sentenced.

FInal scene- Naz awaits the verdict, screen goes black. You can hear Gandolfini saying "Va fungool" then the credits roll.

Chandra a fool for kissing Naz. Don't get romantically involved with your client.

So much to address in the finale next week.

almost two hour finale tonight

 

Aug 28, 2016

debating if i should start watching this

 

Aug 28, 2016

Worth it.

Finale was very well done...probably my favorite episode after ep1.

Give JT the Emmy

Def great finale. I was worried they wouldn't rap it up, or find him guilty and not let us know what really happened. I didn't see Freddy actually caring for Naz to help him out and want him to get out coming though. Always figured he'd do whatever he could to keep him in there. The one thing that bothered me the whole series is how fast he assimilated to life in prison. I understand the protection part, but him becoming a drug addict, shaving his head, and getting the tattoos all by choice and not forced was kind of weird. If I was on trial for murder I wouldn't try to make myself look like I was in a prison g---. Especially the hand and neck tattoos.

Wasn't a big fan of the ending, but glad he wasn't found guilty. The ending could've been more climactic.

Overall good series. I enjoyed it.

Enjoyed the ending. They wrapped things up but not so neatly. Naz is free but is a pariah and now has a drug problem. Kapoor's career could be over. Stone's eczema is back. It's the happy ending in which everyone takes an L. Now hopefully HBO doesn't pull a True Detective with this show and do another season, especially a s-----y season like TD S2.

WARNING: This post has nothing to do with the finale. This is simply a post containing mindless rambling that I used as a way to pass the time while I waited for a file to download.

Took some ninja skills to skip past your posts @Tone Riggz

I just found a torrent for this, which makes me skeptical honestly, cause I'm usually up til 5AM scouring the internet for the new releases. I swear on every God that receives praise and worship on this planet, if some MFer tricked me into downloading this torrent, and it's not the finale, I'm gonna go Neo and track their I.P., show up at their house and commit the same f---in' crime Nas is accused of.

Honestly, usually, I'm much more capable of describing violent situations with ease, but I'm really excited to see how this show ends, so I'm just sitting here. It's at 77%. Soon as it's done, I'm slappin' this b---- on my XBox and watching it. I'm basically just typing this to pass the time.

81.8%. What the f---? When I went into the bathroom after I started this b---- it was at like 50% downloading at about 1.1 Mbps. Maybe I should just cave in and buy HBO. Nah, f--- all that. this is over with, and Vice Principals only has two episodes left. I still have to find that. I think I enjoy bootlegging cause I always wanted to be a pirate when I was really young, and I'm at an age where I've accepted this is about as close as I'm gonna get to accomplishing that dream. It's a shame, really. I dunno what I'm talking about, a pirate's life probably sucks d-ck.

88.4 % d--- you bi-polar internet speeds! d--- you to h---. I wish you were a person so I could threaten your family and make you speed this s--- the f--- up. I swear, if this isn't the right file, somebody gonna die tonight. That's actually a very empty threat. I'd never murder someone over a thing like that. That's too far. I might k--- their pet in front of them or something, but I'm not taking a human life for something like that.

I'm hoping by the time my fingers get done jogging across this f---in' keyboard I'll heard the notification on this computer telling me the file is done. So if any of these sentences end abruptly, be assured that is what happened. At this point, I'll have enough material to fill one chapter of a Game of Thrones books. They're the s--- BTW. I'm almost done with the fourth one. Cersai is a c----. I wish I was her brother. So I could f--- her, not for the sibling relationship. I wonder what drove George Martin to create such characters, and not only that, but to develop an entire universe where incest is just looked at like "It's ok. The Targaryens did it."

FINISH DOWNLOADING YOU PIECE OF s---. I'M f---in' SICK OF WAITING. I SWEAR THIS IS RIDICULOUS. LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO. YOU MADE ME BREAK OUT THE CAPS LOCK. I HATE FOR YOU GUYS TO SEE ME LIKE THIS BUT I CAN NO LONGER CONTAIN MY EMOTIONS. I'M OVERCOME WITH EXCITEMENT, ANXIETY, AND A SUPPRESSED SENSE OF DISAPPOINTMENT ALREADY BUILT UP IN CASE I'VE BEEN HOODWINKED BY TPB. I REMEMBER A TIME WHEN A PERSON COULD ILLEGALLY DOWNLOAD COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT THEIR FELLOW BOOTLEGGERS f---ing THEM OVER WITH bs. I SWEAR I'M ABOUT TO f---ing k--- SOME OKK IT'S DONE G2G BYE.

First off, I hope you guys can forgive me for my nonsensical rant above ^

I've been waiting for this episode for a week, but it seems like that week lasted a month,ya know? I enjoyed the finale. I think a hung juryi is the perfect way to give Nas back his freedom... a legal technicality. I don't know if that's the correct terminology. But I'm glad that DA used that chance to do the right thing. It's really f----- up that she was willing to let Andrea's real murderer walk free because she already had an overwhelming amount of evidence against Nas. But that's the way the law is sometimes. It's more about avoiding the path of genuine justice, because it's not easy. It's pitiful that people's lives are in the hands of individuals like that Prosecutor, who knew she was preparing to send him to prison for a crime he didn't commit, just to save face, anything to not have to admit that she was wrong..

I'm glad that it gave the viewers a realistically flawed happy ending. Nas n't the same person as when he was arrested, in his own nature, and in the perception of his community, who will judge him for the rest of his days. On top of that, he's got a drug addiction. He's a criminal even though he's innocent of the crime that earned him that label. You can tell it really hurt him that his own mother believed he was guilty. Then you got the fate of his legal team. Chandra's career is most likely over. I know she just wanted to help her client, but she was in a position to know better, she's one of the few things that stood between his freedom and spending the rest of his life in prison. Jack Stone's ending was rather fitting too. He takes the case cause of the public profile it will help him to attain. He worked his a--- off for Nas, no doubt, even when he was dumped for a different attorney.

Honestly, if it wasn't for Jack, I don't think the Detective would've went back to give the investigation a second look. Jack's the one who installed those doubts in his mind, which proved useful despite that c---- DA not wanting to do anything with that information.

I love when TV shows go out in realistic fashion, so many use the medium of Television to exaggerate the end game, and throw in awesome shootouts or ridiculously simple evasions from harm or justice. It's awesome to have a lot of programs that steer away from taking te easy way out, wrapping up loose ends (f--- YOU LOST) and delivering something more truthful to the viewer who had faith in the writer's story, and went for a ride, not knowing the destination, but believing that it would pay off when everything was finished.

Holy f---ing s---, I hope not. TD Season 2 ruined my perception, and the faith I have in modern crime/cop dramas that I would throw into the same category, whether it's because they have similar stories, or were released around the same time.

TD Season one was spectacular. Brilliant writing, directing, story and Matthew and Woody were perfect for those roles. I had such high hopes. I figured it would be natural to assume that S2 would expect a dip in quality, I mean it's a rarity when a show doesn't experience a slump. But what happened in S2, made me feel personally insulted for assuming this show was anything like the one that'd made me a fan. HORRIBLE EVERYTHING.

Predictable plot, not only were the characters trash, but the actors were quite garbage with their idea of how to play them as well. I've never acted in my life, but that was a motherfucking shame to see four celebrities (3 who are considered A-Listers IMO) just portray these awfully written characters who lacked any ability to inspire me to hold on to the faith in the first season, that convinced me to believe S2 would be just as good. I was scared that Fargo might possibly suffer a slump like that in his sophomore year, but I was wrong because it was just as perfect as the season before it. The reason why? Cause Noah could use the S2 scripts to wipe the a----s of rabid hobos, and I'd know that Nic Pizzalotawhateverthefuck had finally done some good with the paper he'd wasted scribbling s--- ideas that made less sense than my earlier post above this one. And no one apparently had the heart to tell him the truth to his face, or they did and he was too delusional and stupid to realize they were right. I don't know. I don't know if it's been renewed, but even if it has been, I don't give anything resembling a f--- when it comes to that show.

There was one episode I watched, where it took nine viewings to actually make it through the entire episode, cause every time prior to that I had fallen asleep because it was so f---ing boring. At least he did us the favor of having all his s-----y characters murdered at the end so we didn't have to worry about watching them again.

Absolutely love your posts @prison mike, especially the tangent post.

A very melancholic ending to what was a fascinating mini-series. All key characters ended up worse off aside from DA and Box. Bittersweet.

Glad Stone rescued the cat once again.
