They announced it the other day that it will be back for at least another season.

Curious if its gonna be another murder or the trial. Or if gonna be the same investigation (God I hope now this one is getting a bit played out). My brother guessed it was Richmond on the first episode it kinda makes sense otherwise they'd never even have his point of view.

That was bullshit last night.

giantchris · June 22, 2011, 12:46:06 AM

Yeah that was kind of a gay ending although I did like Balko shooting Richmond.

The Shocker · June 22, 2011, 08:38:30 AM

Did he actually shoot him? I was half watching by that point.

whoshotthefrog · June 22, 2011, 11:21:42 AM

You didn't actually see Belko shoot Richmond, but it definitely was implied. They said the new season will return at the beginning of the new year. So, I guess we have to wait that long to find out.

Who do you think was in the car that Holder got into at the end of the show? I'm leaning towards Drexler.

They've IMPLIED a lot of things with this show that turned out to be red herrings - that's part of what is pissing me off about the show.

Plus I'm pissed about them making Holder seem like a bad guy, right when he was redeeming himself and looking like he was actually an alright guy.

Apparently, they will reveal who killed Rosie in the middle of Season 2.

Its included in this guys complete trashing of the entire season, haha.

After reading it, I kind of wonder why I wasted my time. But what the hell do I have better to do.

Also, I still like Holder either way, its like rooting for the bad guy at a WWF event in the 80's no matter what side hes on.

The Shocker · June 22, 2011, 12:14:00 PM

That's bullshit. I distinctly remember the writers saying that you would know who the killer was by the final episode of the 1st season.

Viewers don't like getting the runaround for too long...

grimniggzy · June 22, 2011, 12:15:36 PM

yeah, the guys review rips them a new one for that, he stood up for us all.

Damn, next time I'll read the review before I post. That guy articulated every thing I was thinking. What sucks is I'll probably still watch the next season:

1. Because I want to know who killed Rosie.
2. I HATE giving up on shows.
3. I'm a glutton for punishment.

grimniggzy · June 22, 2011, 02:17:03 PM

yup, sadly I'm in the same boat.

giantchris · June 24, 2011, 01:24:50 AM

I gotta say the farther out I get the more annoyed I am about the finale. That guy articulated everything very well but I am pretty sure who he said the killer was in the Danish version is not who the killer in the American version is because of the way they've done the plot. I am pretty damn sure we are gonna find in the second season that Richmond wasn't the killer then in a random plot twist at the end of the season we find out he really was the killer.

The Shocker · June 24, 2011, 08:13:30 AM

Maybe it's Holder!

I hope he's not the killer. He's my favorite character on the show. Always had some great lines each episode.

I was (kind of) kidding, but you never know with this show. Maybe her dad killed her? Her prostitute aunt? It could be anybody in Seattle!!!

DustinAR · July 05, 2011, 06:15:37 PM

I'm really into this show, and I hate that it ended the season on a cliffhanger, but I'll still be watching next season. I heard someone describe this as the atmosphere of Twin Peaks with the intricacies of The Wire. Kind of have to agree with that, probably why I like it so much.

The Shocker · April 02, 2012, 01:36:18 PM

So did anyone watch it last night? I DVR'd it, but not exactly looking forward to watching it.

I did. There were a lot of questions answered about Richmond and Holder's involvement in the case.

The Shocker · April 04, 2012, 12:19:47 PM

Slowly making my way through the 2 episodes. So far I'm not actively pissed at the show. Yet...

The Shocker · April 04, 2012, 04:24:44 PM

Hey frog, you ever go to TWP? I like their recaps and the dude that does this season of The Killing is crazy! He makes the show seem a million times better than it really is.

Here is a link to the recaps:

whoshotthefrog · April 05, 2012, 01:39:21 PM

I'll definitely check out that site. Thanks for posting that link.

Daffy · April 05, 2012, 03:56:09 PM

Its a damn good show! i love it!

Dig how you always think that you know whats going on and then something totally unexpecting happens

grimniggzy · April 20, 2012, 11:12:38 AM

I need to get back on this. I'm slackin' on Game of Thrones too.

The Shocker · April 20, 2012, 02:13:14 PM

Hey frog, the recapper really topped himself this time.
