I was thinking the same thing. Books. Maybe a lawn mower. You wanted to see that shit so bad you got a warrant? Hart's daughter turned out... yeah. I was just reading that there will be another season, but it won't follow the same characters or story. If it's anywhere near as good as this they have me as a viewer again. |

Poor choice of words on my part. Off-book investigating is what i meant, not quite undercover. There's gotta some sort of cover up/connection with the task force from episode 1. I'm now predicting this is gonna go in a way we haven't comprehended yet!!

Great points, knowing what we know, if he spent those 8 years investigating, and actually found stuff out, uncovered secrets, he does seem like the type to just end it with a bullet. Man, i just don't know....and i love it!

Me and a buddy were throwing out names for season 2. At this point, with who they got for season 1, there really isn't anyone off limits. There's no long term commitment, the material is amazing. Cast must be A-list!

I've strongly suspected something about the guy from one of the early episodes, Billy Lee Tuttle.

I think the current detectives said Tuttle died from a medication mixup.

For those interested, I read both:
Between Here and the Yellow Sea and Galveston I enjoyed both and think he is an excellent writer. The first is a series of short stories, and were really enjoyable. I also read where many of Rusts' philosophy comes from, sometimes word for word in: The Conspiracy against the Human Race: A Contrivance of Horror by Thomas Ligotti It is some of the darkest stuff I have ever read.

Well, at least now we know why Cohle and Hart had their falling out in 2002.
...which might be the first time I *wasn'* surprised by a plot twist on this show. |

Yeah I think it would have been surprising if it was something else other than that. Decent episode, but probably the weakest one so far (being the weakest out of this bunch isn't really that bad, mind you, I just feel like everything that happened in this one was pretty easy to guess, but needed to be seen to move forward), but it moved some pieces forward for what is hopefully a well executed ending. The one confession Rust got was pretty spectacular tonight, and his suggestion to her as they wrapped up was pretty chilling (and very likely good advice). |

After last night's episode, Cohle is back on my radar as possibly being the Yellow King. A couple of reasons:
*The girl he visited in the "hospital" absolutely freaked out once she looked into his eyes. Perhaps she recognized him? * In the preview snippet for next week's episode, it looks like Cohle has a drawing of some crazy looking bearded guy as the possible killer. It seems too far-fetched that this "deep" of a show would just wind up with a hunt for a random crazy bearded guy. * Remember Cohle's rants about how awful this world is? Perhaps Cohle killing children is his way of "saving" them. I still don't think Cohle will end up being the killer, but it's more plausible now than it was after last week's episode. |

I don't watch the "preview snippets", but I do know that they've had a "drawing of some crazy looking bearded guy" since like the second episode or such. It was a sketch of the man - the spaghetti-faced monster - who chased that Fontinou (Fateneaux?) girl, who went missing, through the forest. If that's the drawing that was in the snippet, then it's not new. Based on this most recent episode, I think it's pretty clear that Cohle isn't the killer.

I feel like the Tuttle murder could be easily explained next week at the bar when McCougany says "Remember whne you got pissed off and killed that guy after what you saw well..."

I just don't see it. Yeah, Cohle has a very dark view of the world, but he got in "trouble" because he blew away some junkie that was injection herion or meth or something into an infant. Between that and losing his own daughter, I think Cohle is pretty strictly in the anti-harming children camp. I really don't think either Marty or Cohle are involved. I believe the show doesn't have quite as much going on in terms of "mythology" and "mystery" as many people would like to believe. I don't think it detracts from the show, but I think the show is a little more straight-forward. The "Five Kings" idea is the most solid. Given Ledeaux's tattoo and the creepy "devil catching" sculptures at his place, I believe he was one of them. His partner may, or may not, have been another. But the girl said that there was the man with the burned face - the people at the revival tent saw a tall man with facial scars talking to Dora Lang - so, I think he's the "worst". Maybe he's the "Yellow King" or maybe Tuttle was the "Yellow King" and the tall man with the scarring was also involved. It will be interesting to see.

An update on those numbers... TV Ratings: HBO's 'True Detective' Is Averaging 10.9 Million Viewers True Detective is proving to be a big hit over on HBO. The eight-episode anthology, which hit a first-run high on Sunday night, is averaging 10.9 million weekly viewers. The gross average, which includes replays, HBO Go streams and On Demand plays, is fairly huge for freshman series on the pay cable network. (HBO's most-watched show, Game of Thrones, averaged just north of 13.6 million weekly viewers in its last season.) First-run episodes have also improved for the series. The Feb. 23 episode pulled in 2.6 million viewers, eclipsing its 2.3-million premiere.

I finally saw an episode of this a couple of weeks ago and was blown away by how good it was. From the production quality, the acting and the over all story. This show and the Walking Dead are really the only two episodic tv shows that I like.

1 more episode. Everything seems clear now.
I'm very close to saying this is the most enjoyable series I've ever seen.

I sort of hope they Butch Cassidy and Sundance at the end. Rust wants death and Marty needs redemption. I have read all the books by the writer of the series, and he likes sad endings.

i kind of think that the writers tried a little too hard in the last 2 episodes. Seems a tad bit forced too have it get this political dimension and stuff. But i´m perfectly willing to be blown away by the last episode Overall i thought the series was brilliant, the 2 lead characters alone would have made for great TV. Music/Sound has been terrific throughout, imo a perfect example of how to use both score and songs. They don´t overshadow the pictures but rather mix with them extremely well.
The end of both episodes 3 (the monster speech, the brilliant score, the amazing shots of the property and Ledoux) and episode 4 (the long take at the end with the project and the action going on there) have been outstanding. as an aside: I seriously needed half of the first episode to get over the fact that mcconaughey sort of looks like Abed from community in this

I've felt like the Tuttles have been involved since the beginning, especially when they came in trying to flex their muscles early on trying to get Cohle off the case. I thought it was the reverend at first, but as was mentioned he died somehow.. But the family is apparently big enough and the secret is buried deep enough in the sea of familial blood that it has become a part of what they are. The finale is going to be like a really good date with a really amazing woman, I won't want it to end. Excited to see how they tie it all up though.

They have. I re-watched the first five episodes with Lady H_B last week. Knowing what I did, the Tuttle connection is really clear. It's been there from the beginning, I think folks just got excited with all of the other possibly theories and what not and it got a bit clouded.

Reminds me of the fact that Marty has mentioned the Detective's Curse on two separate occasions. The facts are right in front of you, but you're looking at the wrong details.

At this point, I think a lot is largely settled. The one lingering question that I do have is how Marty's daughter, Audrey, is involved. Between her organizing her dolls in that rape circle and her sexual drawings, it seems pretty clear that she's been exposed to something troubling. How did it happen? Is Maggie's father part of the "group of rich men"? One of Marty's cop friends?
Certainly this is something that will need to be resolved, or those scenes are just weird, random and misleading.
