The Killing: Who Killed Rosie Larsen?: Our Theory
We’re baaaack! With AMC’s recent announcement that they’ve rescued The Killing from the land of the cancelled and have decided to push ahead with shooting a brand new third season, we thought it only fair that we should rescue these old posts from our archives as well.
Over the next few weeks we’ll try to get them all back into circulation. They start off slow, but three or four weeks into it, you’ll see that we get uber obsessed and start jotting down all of the details from both versions, detective style.
The following is a peek back at our original guess at how we thought the murder mystery would resolve. We got the Aunt Terry part right, but we thought it had more to do with Rosie’s beloved butterflies. All things considered, we still like our ending better.
With just three more episodes to go we’ve reviewed the case files and we’ve come to a conclusion: Terry Marek is ultimately the one responsible for Rosie Larsen’s murder. Read on to absorb our full theory and let us know what you think.

The Killing: Season Two: Week Nine
We’re baaaack! With AMC’s recent announcement that they’ve rescued The Killing from the land of the cancelled and have decided to push ahead with shooting a brand new third season, we thought it only fair that we should rescue these old posts from our archives as well.
Over the next few weeks we’ll try to get them all back into circulation. They start off slow, but three or four weeks into it, you’ll see that we get uber obsessed and start jotting down all of the details from both versions, detective style.
This week on AMC’s The Killing: Linden spends the entire episode in a psych ward talking about her feelings while Holder sniffs out a break in the case, Gwen and Jamie act annoying, Tommy and Denny get a dog, and Terry and Stan make up, but not out. It wasn’t the worst episode of the series, but it sure was tedious and chock full of useless information about Linden’s past. Read on to absorb our impressions of episode ten.

A Conversation with Lauren Parsekian and Molly Thompson
Recently we had a chance to connect with the filmmakers responsible for Finding Kind, a documentary picture that aims to raise the level of awareness surrounding girl on girl bullying. The film helped spark a national movement and led the pair to found the Kind Campaign, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting anti-bullying education in school systems both at home and abroad.
Earlier this week we had the opportunity to watch Finding Kind and you can read our full review of the feature here.
What follows below is an in-depth discussion with Lauren Parsekian and Molly Thompson in which they each share their personal bullying stories, talk about their individual motivations for creating the film, and share how the overwhelming positive response to Finding Kind sparked the creation of so much more than they could have ever imagined.
