That's why I said, Tony got back alot of the $ he needed to pay off Catalyst, with the Russians, it was probably the Mexicans who gave 1M to him, rest from the crooked cops who took down Ray.
And ofc, alot could've happened, that baby looked close to a 1 year old.
Hovsep said at the poker lounge, his associates/comity/board/w.e, wanted to take him out. So ofc, there was more backers to the whole Catalyst deal. I mean 12M... even for gangsters, is alot of $. Specially cause it had to be "clean", which takes time and alot more than 12M to clean up, lol.

Yw.



Yup, the Mexs, said, where you think they got the guns from?
Also, since I am Armenian, and know that in Cali, they are involved in alot of illegal stuff; they'd pick a Russian, Mexican, almost anyone before they truely ally with a "white gangster" (I'm not trying to be racist).

Yup, most organized syndicats, as I also stated above, have many ppl in the higher ups. The new age isn't like the Godfather, 1 guy calling all the shots, it's more like a group who vote and decide on matters.
So, probably did bring someone else in, purchased the Catalyst contract/land, rekindled friendship with Tony and boom, a part of Cali is now owned by them.

I'll never stop saying this though; I pay $ to watch something, and I'd like more details instead of cryptic finishes.

e - Not everyone cares about $, talkn about the Armenians, and all the $ Frank fed them.


Interesting stuff thanks. I need to watch it again for sure, and think about it some more. Plus, it was late, and I was tired etc.

I honestly would love to hear a afterword with Nic. Thia season didn't end as "cut and dry" as the first. I'd like to hear where he thinks the story goes.

Edit: I would love for them to revisit parts of this story in a later season, with new characters. I think there is something interesting there. Hell, I wouldn't even be mad if s3 picked up right after. I know that's probably not gonna happen.

Yeah he went full retard.

They all kinda did.

Ray.
Finds tracker, keeps tracker on car. Finds most remote place to drive through even though he has evidence and leverage on his pursuers.

Paul.
Receives gay pics. Doesn't realize this can clear him from his false claim made by the actress. Doesn't realise he has evidence and leverage on his blackmailers.

Frank.
Manages to get caught in un-known car in a city as huge as LA.

Such convenience and retardation all around.


Ray knew that people were actively watching him either way since they planted the tracker on the car already, he tried to take it off but couldn't, even if he did theres not a large chance he couldve gotten away since they were already watching him. I'll agree with the driving into the woods, it was pretty hamfisted to tie it to his father's dream, and the trying to upload an email to his son was a pretty flimsy reason.

Paul's blackmail was logical, he was ashamed and tried to hide it, his war buddy even says right beforehand that if he had owned up to it they couldn't have used it against him but he tried to hide it.

You aren't. Though I can't say that for 100% fact. Because I don't think either should be compared to each other. Might as well have been a different show. Two completely different stories, with different characters.

I like Season 2 more than 1.

I prefer the gritty noir crime drama over the swamp-ridden backwoods murder mystery.

Definitely hyped for Season 3.
