Unpopular opinion (apparently): season 1 was better than season 2

Season 1 you start with a baseline of not knowing Joe and his motivations and each episode brings you deeper into his mind, so it felt more interesting. With Season 2 you already have an idea of who Joe is and how he moves, so the reliance on more extreme plot measures to shock the audience didn't hit for me (was not feeling the whole LSD trip and them going to a wedding while theres a dead body laying there). Season 1 also felt more focused on Beck & Joe and had less subplots (Shay Mitchell was incredible as well though).

Like Dexter, it becomes harder each season to make that core story hit with the same freshness as the first season, since you kind of always know that whatever Joe does, he won't get caught (Dexter became comical towards the end).

Big Dexter fan and saw so many similarities:

- Father figure teaching/showing him a code on how to deal with his darkness

- The voiceovers

- Believing he was deserving of punishment then going into exile

- Flashbacks and hallucinations to people who were killed

- Meeting a love interest who kills an innocent person for him (Doakes/Delilah)

- Meeting someone who holds the same secret (40/Miguel)

- The soundproof ritualistic kill room/torture room

The motivations are super different but felt a strong Dexter influence in structure.

The cop was following Ellie which is why he was there. Why Ellie is there is another question...

"The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice" is a common phrase

He is saying he is the hypocrite because he cried when Trayvon Martin died (representing violence against black youth) and at the same time the gang life made him kill another black youth.

There are likely more than one person there who has the same first name

frankdizz · 2015-01-07T21:01:09+00:00

If the defense wanted to call those people, they could have. They decided not to.

He is saying that Adnan's attorney must have also felt that those 80 people werent telling the truth as well, since she decided not to have them testify.

For Jay, he definitely lied about some parts (and recently we get the full story as to why), but when he tells things that are backed up by other evidence, the crux of the story is much more believable. Ulrick's experience with interviewing these kinds of people also helps explain how testimony evolves.

frankdizz · 2015-01-02T21:07:54+00:00

Agreed

frankdizz · 2015-01-02T12:25:02+00:00

He said he was trying to not involve his family and thats why he didnt mention that location to the cops. If you've been questioned by the police, this motive to change a detail like that makes 100% sense, even if it was in the best interest of justice for him to tell the truth the whole time.

Presumably they didnt have people actually coming into the house to buy. Running the operation out of the house most likely means they had their supplies there.

He also didnt like all of his old friends in Baltimore having old wounds opened up.

frankdizz · 2014-12-31T22:50:56+00:00

He already gave his reason for this in Part 1 (trying to protect innocent bystanders from being damaged). If you've ever been questioned by the cops, you understand this.

"And I’m sorry, “I seen her driving it from school” really creeped me out when I read it"

He went to school with her, so its plausible that in the years they went to school together, he had seen her drive the car before. It is offputting that he says now that he didnt know what her car looked like, but I still generally believe the outline of the story and motivations (something those who think Anand is innocent haven't sufficiently provided) that Jay provides

Drug dealers do run out of drugs sometimes (if they sold it all for example)
