enjoyed the first episode, it was a little slow but they've got scene-setting to do so I'm OK with it I like that they're making Mason a bit like Marlowe in that he's kind of a fuckup who's not actually all that good at his job but somehow still gets results and him getting hosed off the bed got a genuine laugh

so the gang kidnaps Charlie, and also obtains another baby somewhere because they figured they might need a spare I guess? and they're too incompetent to keep a baby alive for a few days, but luckily that's their spare baby and Charlie is actually well hidden in a place not yet mentioned, being looked after by people not yet mentioned and then when the spare baby dies they don't say "well good thing we got a spare then" and return the still-alive Charlie to the Dodsons, but instead give them the other dead baby, for reasons, and the Dodsons don't immediately say "hey that's not our baby" and the whole church hierarchy is putting pressure on Sister Alice to stop talking about the resurrection, but it's all a double bluff because really they were planning a resurrection from the beginning yeah that's gotta be it

Taintrunner posted:My understanding is the brothel baby was always intended to be the dead baby, and Charlie was kept safe out of the spotlight until it was time for resurrection. And then they made said resurrection happen, and now they can rake in the money and build their weird little religious commune or whatever. Also you gotta remember, they're $100k in debt, and the ransom was to fleece the T-1000. so they murdered not-Charlie by, er, paying/forcing a heroin-addicted lactating sex worker to go to a hotel in the middle of nowhere and breastfeed him so he'd suffocate? does that seem at all likely as a plan to you?

e: ^yeah that's basically my read on it. the church elders were trying their hardest to go back on the resurrection thing until it became clear that Sister Alice was going to keep on with it whatever, at which point they said "ok gently caress it" and pivoted into making it happen as well as they could manageTaintrunner posted:I think the baby was already the sex worker's kid, so she didn't have to be forced into doing it. then why are they hiding out at a hotel in the middle of nowhere? why isn't the sex worker just living with her baby in the place where she lives? and why did the Dodsons not only not notice that the dead baby wasn't Charlie, but didn't even notice that it was a different race? this is a loving stretch, OP Julio Cruz fucked around with this message at 00:04 on Aug 4, 2020 |

honestly I was expecting after Holcomb's line that "they'll find your rat-chewed corpse in the sewers" that they'd end up finding Seidel's body and being able to link it to Ennis but I'm OK with it ending as it did, it doesn't make sense for Mason to score a slam-dunk including taking down a corrupt detective in his very first case as a lawyer e: also Matthew Rhys' impression of John Lithgow was loving spot on NowonSA posted:his expenses were perfectly reasonable Mason, take his word for it I thought that too at first but I checked and I'm pretty sure it's "movie: 0.25" NowonSA posted:Good call on this one too, Pete as the cop investigating someone Masons' representing, with each of them sure of that client's guilt or innocence, is some ready made character drama that should be fun as hell, and that dynamic would work well both in a low-stakes casual/friendly way and an intense high-stakes way. yeah they've pretty nicely set up that next season will be Mason/Della/Crane against Barnes (or Berger, they dropped the hint that Barnes could be running for Mayor) and Strickland
