As the spring 2017 growing season got underway, however, it became clear that dicamba damage remained out of control, triggering the current spate of lawsuits and investigations by state plant boards. Some experts who study and regulate the industry believe the extent of the damage could be as much as ten times higher than the 3.6 million acres officially reported. Crop insurance does not cover damage by herbicides, so farmers have little incentive to file complaints and potentially start neighbor-versus-neighbor disputes.
After watching the season two premiere, I think fans should reconsider abandoning the show. If anything, I've come to look at this two-hour event as simply the start of season 1.5. After all, "Forbrydelsen," the Danish TV show on which it was based, aired 20 episodes before the killer was revealed. Now, whether or not the two are comparable quality wise in getting to that end result is another debate - but this feels like the second half of exploring the brutal murder of the young Rosie and beyond.
Killing Season
26 episodes later and Rosie Larsen's killer is finally revealed. But all those Hallmark cards say it's not the destination, it's the journey. Right? We admit we weren't the some of the critics who needed the killer to be revealed ASAP. We watched all this season. Part of the frustration fun has been the long, rainy moody journey. And basically we are the biggest Holder (Joel Kinnaman) fans to walk the earth. But we digress.
The Good: While they aren't always the most competent of detectives, Linden and Holder do make a great team. Our favorite moments are of them together, but the end of this episodes lead them in separate directions. Assuming the show gets a third season, just how fast will these guys get back together?
It has been a strange existence for The Killing, a series with massive potential that first dissipated and then was squandered in season one, had its merits restored by two brilliant acting performances in season two, then was left for dead before being surprisingly revived for season three, which premieres on AMC on June 2.
The Killing Season explores one of the largest and swiftest, yet least examined, instances of mass killing and incarceration in the twentieth century--the shocking antileftist purge that gripped Indonesia in 1965-66, leaving some five hundred thousand people dead and more than a million others in detention.
An expert in modern Indonesian history, genocide, and human rights, Geoffrey Robinson sets out to account for this violence and to end the troubling silence surrounding it. In doing so, he sheds new light on broad and enduring historical questions. How do we account for instances of systematic mass killing and detention? Why are some of these crimes remembered and punished, while others are forgotten? What are the social and political ramifications of such acts and such silence?
Based on a rich body of primary and secondary sources, The Killing Season is the definitive account of a pivotal period in Indonesian history. It also makes a powerful contribution to wider debates about the dynamics and legacies of mass killing, incarceration, and genocide.
Along with Elaine Banner, an ambitious special agent juggling life as a single mother with her increasingly high-flying career, Blake must track Wardell down as he cuts a swathe across America, apparently killing at random.
I will also say that my thoughts on the current season are based on the first four episodes were made available early to the press. To that end, I promise not to spill any major beans story-wise, if you promise to promptly contact me should the entire series have been a dream that Joel Kinnaman had while taking a nap on the set of the Robocop reboot. Cool? Cool.
That said, I have yet to watch episodes five and six, but the skeptic in me has got to admit that it would take a lot to sway me from my feelings of disappointment. Did the show shift gears? Yes, it did. If it had committed to that tonal shift, we would have been fine, but season four is a sloppy, indecisive step backwards.

A new season of bloodshed is to begin on Sept. 1st in the small town of Taiji, Japan. The dolphin hunts (depicted in the Academy Award-winning documentary The Cove, which chronicles the efforts of Earth Island Institute to end the hunts) go on for six months, through the end of February, with the seas around the Cove in Taiji turning bright red with blood.
Last season (Sept. 2018 to Feb. 2019) had an overall quota of 2,040 dolphins of nine different species, and 1,162 dolphins were driven into the Cove that season, far below the quota. The total of dolphins killed plus those kept for captivity was 775 dolphins this last season; the balance were herded out of the Cove, but their survival after the trauma of the slaughter of their fellow pod-members is problematic.
In fact, the killing of dolphins for meat in Taiji has declined virtually every year since IMMP began our Save Japan Dolphins Campaign in 2004. For example, in the 2010-11 season, the hunters killed 849 dolphins. In the 2017-18 season, 610 dolphins were killed. It is likely the hunts for meat will continue to decline, as Japanese young people in particular do not eat whale or dolphin meat.
New quotas for the upcoming season are now out, allowing the slaughter or permanent captivity of up to 1,749 dolphins. While this is lower than last year, the decline in actual captures continues to show the quotas are not working to protect dolphin species of Japan.
What happened in The Killing season 2 finale? Based on the BAFTA-winning Danish crime series Forbrydelsen, The Killing stars Mireille Enos (Hanna) and Joel Kinnaman as Seattle homicide detectives Sarah Linden and Stephen Holder and follows the pair as they investigate various murders on their beat. The AMC series was adapted for American TV by showrunner Veena Sud and ran for four seasons between 2011 and 2014, starting with a pilot episode directed by future Wonder Woman helmer Patty Jenkins.
Despite calls to end the practice, mink are still being gassed with carbon dioxide. Depending on the concentration of the gas, mink can take between 4 and 15 minutes to die. Carbon monoxide is also used for killing mink but, since this gas induces unconsciousness and death through deprivation of oxygen, this is particularly cruel for an animal used to diving. 2ff7e9595c
