If he's not, I don't know how they're going to explain it. Watched the last scene again four or five times and the crow reloaded, stood over him and fired at point blank range. Farrell's body jumped from the impact.
Crow couldn't have been using blanks as the first shot got Farrell in the leg and there was nothing to suggest he was wearing a bullet proof vest.
I think he gets shot in the lower gut twice, pause it at 56.56 and that looks to be the way he is falling over, now I get where your coming from because the shot immediately before it the shotgun is definitely pointing further down than it should.
I don't think shows and films are designed generally to be watched by people who pause and rewind a lot.
(appologies for lazy Paint upload
My bet is that he has been shot with something like this

I'm a little cynical of this sort of stuff, it reminds me of the bride in kill bill getting blown off her feet by rock salt :rolleyes:
Pretty sure bean bag rounds aren't meant to be blasted into someone at point blank range, they're called "less lethal" rather than "non lethal" for a good reason :eek:0 -

Never heard of the word burgalarize before that cop made it up!:pac:
It's a real word, regularly used on TV shows.
bur·glar·ize
ˈbərɡləˌrīz/
verbNORTH AMERICAN
past tense: burglarized; past participle: burglarized
enter (a building) illegally with intent to commit a crime, especially theft.
"our summer house has been burglarized"We're all in this psy-op together.🤨

He was also Bill from The Last of Us0 -
I clicked this on impulse and immediately regretted it.
BTW the above is a dead link now0 -

Watched episode 3
I know it's early days, it could never have lived up to the first season, but I expected way better. None of the main roles seem defined, and the story or what's going on seems very hard to follow.
It's like they go around questioning people without luck all the time about hookers while once in a while meeting in that prefab thing, it drags on and we get some kind of clique ending like the car being put on fire. How is burning a cops car gonna make them less interested in the case, ( even to pinpoint what part of the case that is I'm not sure ). "That was him" Yeah good guess work , the guy with the mask standing next to the car on fire was suspicious indeed. Or the other dude with the accents, i don't know what the point was there, felt stupid. Or the older cop taking a photo of the younger one after he pushed his old war "buddy" . Also what was with the old bf coming into Bezzerides office, was that to show how hard she is?
Vaughan I can't take seriously at all in this role, e.g. the fist fight vs golden teeth "You can leave your rings on", maybe if there was some better backstory than him being locked in a basement when he was young or something. Farrell has been pretty good overall, the only shining light for me. The overall writing/chemistry/story just seems lackluster and disconnected.
I might be over critical and may need to re-watch everything again, but I can only compare it to season one, which for me was one of the best seasons of TV I ever seen. Hopefully it picks up in the next few episodes0 -

I know a lot of people thought last seasons story was hard to follow at times, and maybe I am wrong in my memory but didn't they go around questioning a lot of people without luck too?
I've liked Vaughn in this and looking at his work when he first started as an actor it's not too hard to take him for a serious role. I think he plays it well.
All in all I'm not a big fan of comparing seasons, especially stand alones like this show, but I would at least wait until the show is over to do so.
Comparing something you've only seen a fraction of with something youve seen all of is like comparing a three course meal before you touch the main course with one you have just eaten last week.0
