  1. Yep, Syren, so good to have a place to discuss this fascinating show! I watched the last 2 episodes back to back, and can I just say here that I want to strangle Senator Skeevy? Grrr! The last episode plodded along, as most of these episodes do, until you realize that you've been holding your breath for almost an hour. But this last ep pulled out everything right at the end. I went into this ep knowing that a 3rd season had been approved, and so I couldn't imagine what more another season could bring if/when Daniel got a plea deal. I'm glad Amantha is so sure of the outcome of a trial; if my brother had been on death row for 20 years, I don't know that I'd want to take even .000032% chance of a conviction from another trial. I'm hoping the judge will not accept the plea deal, since it seems to have been "poisoned" by Sen. Shithead. The best I can say for HIM is that he's at least self-aware of his own motives, smarmy as they are. The current DA seemed to have been taken aback by the treatment of Daniel by the Senator at the debriefing - she may recommend to the judge that they set aside this plea arrangement pending further investigation. Speaking of further investigation, I kept wondering how long it was going to take George's body to wash up somewhere. The discovery of the body along with the sheriff's new suspicions could well carry into a lot of next season. I think the disappearance/discovery of George along with the the "mystery" (as far as the videotape shows) of what happened at George's house will cast much doubt on Daniel's "confession." And whoa - I was scared for Jaren when Hanna brother came home and caught him. His telling Jared to take whatever he wanted was very telling to me. I have an acquaintance whose teen aged daughter was found murdered ( the murder is still unsolved after 15 years), and since then, her whole identity has been "mom of the murdered girl." There were actually two girls killed in this tragedy, and it's interesting how the two moms have had very different reactions and lives since then. It's not a judgment, because I can't imagine anything worse than losing a child, especially in an unsolved crime, but I immediately saw my friend in Hanna's mom; it's like they just quit moving, even with other kids to care for. I watched season one and two in just the last 5 days, and I'm so pleased to see the evolution of the sheriff! At the beginning, I felt he was just another good ol' Paulie boy, hanging with the Sen/former DA and the previous sheriff. But this guy is craftier than he lets on, and I think he's truly interested in the truth, and doesn't necessarily believe justice was done with the conviction of Daniel. Then, I had two reactions about him watching the tape from George's house. He obviously sees that Daniel and Trey arrive together in Trey's truck, and rewinds to see that they leave separately. At that point, George's body hadn't been found yet, so I'm anxious that the sheriff thinks that Daniel stayed behind and killed/disposed of George after Trey left. Now I'm not sure what he thinks, but I hope he asks Trey some questions and then catches him in a lie. I have a whole 'nother analysis of Tawny, but this post is long enough already. LOL
  2. The coffee scene was really something (love the thread title, too!). Ted Jr had been asking, and then badgering Daniel about prison, asking if he'd been raped in prison. Daniel pretty much says yes, and then Ted asks if he fought back or if he just "enjoyed" it, as if there's no other reaction possible. I think Daniel wanted him to know that sometimes things aren't that black and white. Fresh from death row and his prison experiences, I think those traumas bubbled up and he was virtually unable to stop himself from showing Ted Jr a world he knows nothing about. Ted is filled with insecurity. He greatly fears being a failure, thus the rim rental venture (is that really a thing?). The tire store belongs to his step mother, and now that Daniel is out, will he inherit the business? He's unsure of his wife's affections. To me, he's the very archetype of the "fragile male ego," so afraid of being wrong or of being made fun of or of being perceived as a failure. What a wonderful character! I wanted to wring his neck when he told the sheriff about the coffee incident, then then I literally started muttering, "Tell them you make it all up!!" when the Senator got brought in on it.
  3. So, I just found this show this past weekend. I've watched all the episodes (can you say marathon!), except for the last 2, and I haven't read about them here so I won't be spoiled. What an amazing show! I'm glad to hear there's a 3rd season planned; I'm kind of dragging out seeing the last two episodes because I don't want it to end! I live in the Deep South, and these characters ring so very true to me. (Aside: we seemed to be blessed with a surfiet of really well-written shows these days - if you can find them!) I can't figure out at all where things are going. I think I need to rewatch the road trip episode - that's the downside of marathoning 14 shows - missing important details in the rush to see more more MORE! I did wonder at the beginning of that trip to Florida if Trey wasn't going to be setting up Daniel in some way. Daniel is so damaged that I get really anxious for him when he's dealing with these awful people. As a parent myself, I don't know how his mom doesn't smother him with protection. I know it was tough for me just when my son was deployed in the service for a way shorter amount of time. I couldn't be around him enough when he returned. OTOH, I guess his mom was visiting him in prison all along. This is my first post here, and I really like the website! No one I know IRL has watched (or even heard of) Rectify, so it's always great to find a place to talk about it. yay google!
