'True Detective' Season 2 News, Spoilers: Is Ray Velcro Really Dead?

Perhaps even up to this point, fans of the hit police-procedural TV drama series "True Detective" Season 2 are still lingering with the cliffhanger of last week's Episode 2, "Night Finds You."

Ray Velcro (Colin Farrell), who took it upon himself to investigate the home of Los Angeles City Manager Ben Casper, was shot down with a double-barrell shotgun and was left in what appears to be in a fatal condition.

By the looks of it, Velcro couldn't possibly survive that shot. However, if one has to take into account the role that the character played in the series, it is highly unlikely that Velcro is already wiped off from the ongoing drama.

TrueDetectiveRumors.com pointed out the production teasers of Season 2 which show certain scenes (with Velcro in it) that has not yet been shown.

It is also impossible for the abovementioned scenes to be featured as a flashback "as we've already seen what Velcro looks like back when he was a regular cop in the first episode," the website stipulated.

But who could provide the definitive answer than the cast member himself. Farrell, who recently sat down in a recent HBO sneak peek, suggested that followers of the show could still see the police officer in future episodes.

"Ray's stuck in the interminable present," Farrell said in the clip. "He's genuinely blinded by his past and therefore can't see his future."

The actor went on to point out Velcro's relationship with Vince Vaughn's mobster Frank Semyon.

"The way we meet and the initial conjoining of our experience together as two men who find each other on the path of life is not ideal at all," he said. "Over time they have grown to trust each other to some degree, and I think that trust becomes more and more apparent - and more real and more experienced - the more the story is told."
