Her looming shadow grows
Hidden in the branches
Of the poison creosote

Season 1 had the best intro. I don't really know what creosote is but it's got something to do with spiky heels and a butt so basically i'm super into creosote

It's about a spider

This is the correct assessment of season 2.

This season is going to be a total loving waste of Jodie Foster.

How many great lines of dialogue did episode 1 of season 1 have?

I do wish Jodie Fosters character would have said "I'm just a regular type chick with a big rear end pussy"

Wasn't season 2 supposed to be about the secret occult history of the United States transportation system?

I remember someone telling me this before it came out but I don't remember anything about dark magic highways

In the directors interview in True Reflective: Under the Ice (the 15 minute post credit show) the director comments on this. She said she originally wanted the scene where Cameron focuses intently on the Sunday Afternoon painting because it has thematic ties to the central mystery, but because of the licensing rights to Paramount and the actor Alan Ruck and the Chicago Art Institute, that shot would have blown the budget. But because HBO has an exclusive licensing agreement for Beatles songs, the producers just kind of shoehorned that clip into the scene, which is why the tone was so awkward.

It's actually a brilliant substitute if you think about it

I liked how they don't mention it maybe because the person who wrote the script does not know how to write and only learned the first 19 letters of the alphabet.

Just watched eppie 2. Probably one of the best eppies in the series. Riveting from start to finish. What do y'all think the spirals mean?

E: Also, DAE catch the nod to season 1 with "Tuttle Industries"

See, it's obvious now why people like you seem to like this crappy season; you're not paying attention at all. They specifically mention that dude is in the hospital in an induced coma and can't be interviewed until later.

I just looked and it's a shame they didn't keep T Bone Burnett to pick the music. The season 1 soundtrack was freaking epic. But I'm sure this one will be just as epic!
