I'm pretty down on it. It's frustrating to have no resolution, not only to the mystery but to whether Linden will actually go to Sonoma. Just plot twist after plot twist doesn't add up to a good plot.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

Always Anti-fascist!
If they've lost Sepinwall and Goodman, it does not say good things about this series...they are Simon fanboys who were all prepared to christen "The Killing" Homicide-for-cable or something.

I think that the storytelling in The Killing is as murky as the atmosphere.

“Not dead yet!”
I haven't watched it since I went to NY about a month ago. I thought I'd be all impatient to get back to it and I really... wasn't.
Also, I'm irrationally annoyed by the depiction of Seattle weather and the sloppy cutaways from mildly overcast wide angle shots of the city skyline to closeup scenes taking place moments later where it's inevitably pouring rain.

I hope next season of The Killing is just Linden planning her wedding. She's totally moved on and is on a slow hunt for a cupcake tower.
Hee.

Just plot twist after plot twist doesn't add up to a good plot.
That was my rationale for abandoning Lost.

So, the critical response is still negative. With Mo Ryan coming in really and truly pissed. I missed this a few days ago:

Punishingly Intricate
Wow, she expresses my thoughts about the show EXACTLY! I gave up on it a couple of eps in, though, and only saw the last few eps cuz Bob was watching. And yelling at the tv. SO disappointing.
