New Season of True Detective on HBO

[Anonymous]

Easter eggs/recurrent symbols: dead Travis (Rust's dad from Season 1?), spirals (again a reference to S1), polar bears. What am I missing?

I was confused about the one people are talking about that. Was the guy just wanting her to slow down so it would last longer? And she was like no we’re going to finish when I want? Or was there something else going on. He seemed uncomfortable or something - not just into it and wanting to last.

Yes, that’s it: two ugly people grunting and humping in the premiere of a HBO detective for absolutely no reason. I love a good sex scene, too. But I want to dream I’m Geena Davis being seduced by Brad Pitt, not whatever it was those two characters were doing. Yuck.

Geena Davis and Brad Pitt?

When was the last time either of them did a sex scene? 2 decades ago?

Who cares when it happened? That’s how a good sex scene is done. That’s why I remember it years later. Newer does not equal better. In this case, it equals much worse.

I don't look to be turned on by sex scenes, nor do I rate sex scenes by how "hot" the actors are. Please. Go watch softcore if that's what you're looking for. Sex scenes should do something to advance the story or give insight into the character. Otherwise, pffft.

Regardless, I like Kali Reis in this series. I've never seen her in anything before so I googled her and was surprised that she is a pro boxer and those piercings are real. She just started acting a couple of years ago. I think she's great.

I’m not looking to be turned on either. I’m looking to watch a detective show. What I don’t want to see is an ugly actress humping a slightly better looking, but also unattractive, actor who is groaning and begging her to stop. I was thinking the same thing. Stop! That scene added nothing to the plot. It provided zero insight into the character. (Some PP mentioned that it showed she got horny and wanted a connection. Um, who doesn’t?!?) On top of all of that the scene was not sexy. Those are images I didn’t want in my head. That is why so many different people have said that it was gratuitous, unnecessary and gross.

But...why were those images stuck in your head? I barely remembered it until you brought it up here, and you can't stop talking about it. Which is weird.

There are a bunch of posters talking about it, not just one. I personally think Kali is ugly. I don’t appreciate her body type or her tattoos. I don’t like her piercings. I don’t like her face. She might be a great actress, but she doesn’t appeal to me at all. I do, however, love Jodie Foster. I’ll be watching for Jodie.

Far from "ugly"

Ok. So masturbate to Jodie Foster then.

I like it so far. I did have to pause a few times to read the tiny text of the prologue and the locations they gave; I have good eyesight and a decently-sized TV—doesn’t have to be Avatar-sized, but so many TV shows and movies use tiny text, which drives me crazy.

I also noticed that the ghost character (Travis) was casting shadows when he was acting out that scene on the ice, which was a little puzzling to me.

Finally, I think that a Beatles song was playing when Jodie Fosters’s character was in that car crash—would explain why she was so desperate to turn the TV off.

She’s foxy. You’re wrong 😆

I’m guessing she looks like your exes next or currents last. Too adamant about a beautiful woman being unattractive. Reads baggage for sure.

Wow. You’re twisted. Appreciating an actress’s talent does not equal sexual attraction to that actress. (If I’m going to masturbate to an actor, it will be to Henry Cavill, lol.)

Why are you so defensive of Kali Reis? So far, I’m not even slightly impressed with her acting. She’s so gruff and yet her delivery is bland and unemotional. I think she’s unattractive and fail to see any appeal. Jodie, on the other hand, has a remarkable range. It’s fun to watch her act. I can’t imagine how you can’t see the massive difference in talent.

Nope. Not at all. I’m happily married and my most recent ex is married to someone who looks like Reece Witherspoon. I am flabbergasted that anyone would call Kali Reis beautiful, but I appreciate that beauty is in the eye of the holder. Though I suspect the majority of beholders agree with me.

Did you have the same reaction to Jodie Foster’s sex scene with Christopher Eccleston and if not, ask yourself what the difference was…(don’t worry I already know the answer)

Yes, I had the same reaction. It was too graphic and totally unnecessary. The director could have showed me that these two were romantic without resorting to a cheap, GRATUITOUS sex scene.

Ask yourself why you assume you know how a total stranger feels about a tv show. This thread is filled with numerous comments from people saying they wish shows would cut it out with the gratuitous sex. What’s next, watching how a character scrubs her toilet to illustrate her character traits?

Are you the PP who just made SIX disparaging comments about her appearance?

Who cares when it happened? That’s how a good sex scene is done. That’s why I remember it years later. Newer does not equal better. In this case, it equals much worse.

I don't look to be turned on by sex scenes, nor do I rate sex scenes by how "hot" the actors are. Please. Go watch softcore if that's what you're looking for. Sex scenes should do something to advance the story or give insight into the character. Otherwise, pffft.

Regardless, I like Kali Reis in this series. I've never seen her in anything before so I googled her and was surprised that she is a pro boxer and those piercings are real. She just started acting a couple of years ago. I think she's great.

I’m not looking to be turned on either. I’m looking to watch a detective show. What I don’t want to see is an ugly actress humping a slightly better looking, but also unattractive, actor who is groaning and begging her to stop. I was thinking the same thing. Stop! That scene added nothing to the plot. It provided zero insight into the character. (Some PP mentioned that it showed she got horny and wanted a connection. Um, who doesn’t?!?) On top of all of that the scene was not sexy. Those are images I didn’t want in my head. That is why so many different people have said that it was gratuitous, unnecessary and gross.

Did you have the same reaction to Jodie Foster’s sex scene with Christopher Eccleston and if not, ask yourself what the difference was…(don’t worry I already know the answer)

Yes, I had the same reaction. It was too graphic and totally unnecessary. The director could have showed me that these two were romantic without resorting to a cheap, GRATUITOUS sex scene.

Ask yourself why you assume you know how a total stranger feels about a tv show. This thread is filled with numerous comments from people saying they wish shows would cut it out with the gratuitous sex. What’s next, watching how a character scrubs her toilet to illustrate her character traits?

From like two people.

Why show any interactions between the characters at all? Just have one narrator who explains it all to the audience.

Omg stop derailing the thread re: sex scenes. Maybe this show is not for you if you find it too racy. Surely Murder, She Wrote is on somewhere…
