they forgot 2010 Cohle

 

[runawayboulder]

2010 Cohle is the same as 2012 Cohle.

 

[Bruce Banner]

For the most part 2010 and 2012 are the same. 2010 was just the year that questioning sanity and having doubt were taken behind the shed and put down.

That's pretty ****ing wicked.

 

[Motown Marvel]

i hope Cohle's hallucinations come into play in the finale...otherwise that whole thing just kinda went mostly nowhere.

 

[RockSP]

2010 Cohle is the same as 2012 Cohle.

Not quite. A key facial accessory is missing...

True Detective is honestly THE best show on TV.

BTW, someone else made a point of it, but did they ever address the weird doll scene with Marty's daughter? I recall someone making a point about Marty's step-father, but I don't remember the details.

There's the weird doll scene with five figures looking at a naked doll, a drawing of the swirly symbol in Marty's house, her drawing naked people having sex, her promiscuous behaviour and needing to be on meds in 2012, throwing the crown up in the tree...

Vulture Mag covers more...

"I've seen kids today," he says in episode two. "All in black, wearing makeup, **** on their faces. Everything's [about] sex." That is exactly how Hart's older daughter looks in 2002. It's an odd coincidence, but not completely out of place for a show that employs the phrase "time is a flat circle" and that had one of its main characters (Cohle) utter in its opening minutes, "This is gonna happen again. Or it's happened before. Both." But if Hart didn't do it, then maybe his pining-for-the-past, slightly racist father-in-law did. (And perhaps he molested his granddaughter who, we later see, wears a princess crown that flies up into the tree on the family's front lawn.) He was definitely introduced for a reason, and he comes off as wealthy and potentially connected, the type of man whom Ledoux's former roommate talked about as going down south to the place in the woods with the old stones looking for some "good killing."

It is. And I almost feel reluctant to say it because there's other shows I love (like Justified) which I've watched for years, and then this new kid on the block waltzes in out of nowhere. But there's no denying it, I share your opinion, True Detective took the crown the moment it aired.

I conjectured about Maggie's father right after we saw him, but the thing that'd be lame about being one of the killers is that we literally have only seen him for one scene in the series, much like how before this week, we only saw the man with the scars for a brief moment.

I hope this finale really throws up for a loop and delivers a few shocks we didn't see coming. I can't help but feel that they've saved too much to resolve in just one episode. But still...best show on television.

I remember many of us said the same thing about Breaking Bad but that pretty much delivered firing on all cylinders.

Have faith t:

I didn't intend to watch all the episodes yesterday, was hoping to watch in two or three batches so I could watch the finale live but the show is just so damn good and I was on my last vacation day.

Just great to see a new show deliver right away as some shows can take a season or two to reach greatness. With this show and AHS at FX that can only mean we'll see more like this as other cable networks try to get on the anthology genre.

I wouldn't say its lame, you don't want too many appearances. He was also on the phone in episode four I believe telling Hart to **** off for cheating on his daughter.

Totally.

I know a lot of people are upset about it being McConaughey and Harrelson's last season, but I have an idea how they can make up for it... Get Bryan Cranston. What does he have going on right now?

Have it take place in the 50s or something

 

[CapedCrusader14]

I had a little bit of fun with the latest episode:

A lot of people are upset about the fact that the cast isn't returning next season, but thats the most comforting thing about the show for me. There is no shortage of brilliant actors, and changing it up every season prevents it from going stale and gives them a lot more freedom with the cases. We can have a 1970s zodiac type case, we can have a 1940s case, a victorian era case, a 1890s western setting, really, the possibilities are endless.

 

[Maximus One]

Wonder if they would ever use real life events as inspiration.

Hah What a story, Marty.

So my two detectives for season 2 will be Betty White and Meryl Streep.

This is me. I fear that when this ends I won't feel satisfied because too much will have been left unresolved.
