‘The Killing’ Writers to Graduate College Next Week
There was tone of condescension about this entire project from the start — all the talk of defying audience expectations, of how the writers would sort of “figure out” the killer’s identity as they went along. All of this reeked of poorly thought out elitism, like a college freshman clutching a half-read copy of Siddartha and explaining to everyone how they just “don’t get it, man.”
The surprise cliffhangers of the season finale of The Killing just feel like lazy film student garbage. “What if we DIDN’T find out who killed her?” is the kind of breakthrough concept I would expect from a college sophomore smoking Djarums in the dormitory courtyard after not even drinking half of the tiny juice glasses he filled up with all the different milks and sodas in the cafeteria.
