The Killing – Day 22 – Sayonara, Hiawatha

  Before I begin gushing about how much Holder ROCKED this episode, let me attempt to talk about some of the other characters and moments I also loved!  In no particular order, of course. Darren Richmond – he is really back on his political horse now, and so far looks to be somehow more able…

The Killing – Day 21 – Off The Reservation

  I don’t know about you guys, but I found this to be one of the most heart-wrenching episodes of the season so far.  Between watching Linden search for Holder with the same fervor she’s used in her quest to find Rosie’s killer, to watching Stan Larsen’s face as he interviewed that last witness…so many…

The Killing – Day 20 – Keylela

  Poor Holder.  He’s not even surprised anymore when Linden kicks him out of the car, but he’s definitely not going quietly anymore.  The respect and genuine care between these two characters becomes more and more evident with each passing episode, and now, even when they argue, their words may cut deeper, but you get…

The Killing – Day 19 – Openings

  Okay.  Please bear with me – my brain is still going a mile a minute after this episode, and I know I’ve missed things and that I’ll be forgetting things – or even getting them wrong.  But let’s just jump in and see what we come up with, shall we? Terry – bless.  Dude…

The Killing – Day 18 – Ghosts Of The Past

  Gah! This show! It just keeps getting better and better every week! I’m finding that there is so much going on now – with everyone – that it’s really no longer about who killed Rosie Larsen anymore. Yes, I want to find out, and my brain is still spinning on all the new information…

The Killing – Day 17 – Oji Jun

Let me start off by saying – I loved this episode! It quickly became a smoldering return of just about everyone we encountered in season one – the first two weeks of the investigation. And those still smoking ashes – now with a few new coals thrown in – feel like they are bringing the…

The Killing – Some Quick Thoughts on Rosie’s Backpack

  Okay, so season two opened with a 2-hour episode to get us all caught back up in the web of mystery surrounding the killing of Rosie Larsen.  In one very creepy moment, Stan Larsen and his sons literally stumble across a pink backpack covered in blood, with the initials RL bedazzled on the front. …

The Killing: Day 16 – Numb

  You know, I have really missed this show.  As each new episode unfurls before me, I am vaguely aware of how truly caught up I am in each character’s life.  My mind is constantly spinning, trying to recognize new clues as they appear, and amend my theories as I go.  mostly, though, I am…

The Killing: Season 2 Premiere/Day 15

  One of television’s best written and most intelligent shows is back for a second season, having already begun with its two-hour premiere on AMC this past Sunday night.  So much happened on the finale last season that I had more than a few “oh YEAH” moments during the initial catch-up sequences, but then I…
