- TriviaWoodrugh used the Center Axis Relock system of gunfighting. This is common in military trained individuals.
- GoofsAt the pawnshop, Woodrugh identifies a watch as stolen by comparing it to a photograph. However, while the two watches are very similar, they are not the same. The one in the photo had something written both above and below the watch hands. The watch in the pawn shop only had something written above the hands, and in a much slimmer font.

Featured review
Confusion continues on
We are 4 episodes into second season and the only thing prevailing is confusion on top of confusion. We still have ZERO idea who all these people are and what the heck is going on because they are yet to reveal anything in 4 hours. So far, viewers have invested 4 hours into this season and all they got in return is confusion and boredom.
On one side we have Frank walking around making "business deals" with random people with zero explanation as to what those deals are. He keeps going from place to place, naming numbers like 5%, 7% and 10% but we don't know who is paying who and for what and what those business deals even entail.
On the other hand everyone talks in extremely vague terms and no one explains anything the the story refuses to move forward. Everyone in this show thinks they are a philosopher even though 90% of the stuff they say doesn't mean anything or doesn't make an ounce of sense.
Then you have more confusion where you are being told that there are 30 different investigations going on for 30 different things, none of them are connected but also all of them are somehow connected. How are they connected? We'll never know.
At the end of the episode a battle breaks out of nowhere with completely new and random characters that were introduced 3 minutes ago with no explanation and a bunch of people die just for the sake of having a "shocking" ending but it doesn't really shock anyone since it's so badly written and badly executed.
So far this whole season is proving to be nothing but boring and confusing with nothing interesting going on. I've seen high school plays that are much better made than season 2 of TD. I don't know why HBO decided to waste money on something that has the quality of a middle school theater play. You could go to any local middle school and watch better plays than this season.
