re: Official True Detective(hbo) season 1 thread.

Season long threads are terrible.

I dont think it should be go to page 93 for episode 3. Seems to be a lot of talk and interest in this show so why not go episode thread

plus we can hopefully leave behind the stupid shite from the first 25 pages (but probably not)

Which brings me to my next point. Anyone have a problem with a sugar cane field being uncut on January 3, 1995. I mean shite, most farmers are done for the year around that time. Gosh. Maybe 1995 was an unusually long season.

You are right, I guess its back to KUWTK for me

(no message)

I just rewatched and pulled some things I missed or got clarification on.

-Opening scene we see - in shadows - the person who burned the can field. It looks like a man dragging along another person.

-Marty's interview date with the detectives in 2012 is May 1st and Rust's interview date is April 26th. They talked to Rust first.

-Marty - "That's what you want to talk about, right? Dora Lang and the kids in the woods?"

-The dinner at Marty's house was three months after they found Dora's body - "when that case was hot". I thought the dinner was the same night but after watching again, Rust went to the truck stop and bar to try and ID the victim and Marty went home late and slept in his recliner.

-Rust - "Dora Lang. The 'occult, ritual murder'. You can thank 'The Advertiser' for that."

-Marty - "His [Rust] Texas files were classified or redacted and he wasn't much on talking."

-Marty - "Past a certain age, a man without a family can be a bad thing."

-Case # - 95010301

-In 2012, Marty is retired from CID and has a security firm and does PI stuff.

-The black preacher calls the stick pyramid things found at the murder scene, "bird traps" or "devil nets". "You put them around the bed to catch the devil before it gets too close."

-Rust is definitely not in jail. He says during his interview with detectives, "I'm going to have to take a time out to make a beer run" and pulls his wallet out and takes out some cash. He blows the money over to the detectives after he tells them what kind of beer he wants. He also has a watch on. A prisoner wouldn't make a beer run, be in possession of his own wallet and cash, wear a watch, or have a Zippo cigarette lighter.

-Dora told her ex-husband in prison that she was going to become a nun. Said "she talking about how she met a king". Maybe she was involved in some kind of odd religious group?

-The detectives ask about the dinner at Marty's house. He says "that dinner was a bit later".

-Rust is from South Texas, grew up in Alaska, been working in Texas and Louisiana the last 10-12 years. He worked in narcotics and was on the robbery squad in Houston till 1989.

-When the cop calls Marty's house to give Rust an excuse to leave, Marty says "he'll appreciate it" and then he pauses to let and says "well then I appreciate it". Sounds like Rust doesn't have many friends at the office.

-Detectives say to Marty "So, you and Cohle went bad in '02, huh? Heard about that." Marty says "Yeah but what happened between me and him don't have nothing to do with Dora Lang. I worked with Rust Cohle for seven years. People change, relationships change." They don't stay in touch and Marty and Rust haven't talked in 10 years - since they "went bad".

-Marty says "Look however we....he was a good detective. It don't matter how we ended, I mean, I can say that because it's the truth. I don't hold grudges. I believe that's the shite that leads to cancer."

-The reverend is named Tuttle and the Jerry Sandusky look alike commander tells them they want to put together a task force for crimes that have an "anti-christian connotation." Rust doesn't like that and asks who the Eddie is that reverend mentioned twice. They tell him he's the governor, Edwin Tuttle and he is the reverend's first cousin.

-The detectives ask why they checked on Marie Fontenot since is was "a missing girl, five years gone, report made in error." Rust says "She had an uncle that lived nearby. Call it intuition."

-Marty tells Danny Fontenot that he played at USL and that he met Danny about seven years ago, so Danny hasn't been incapacitated for greater than seven years. When they start asking about Marie's disappearance, Danny gets more and more agitated.

-After Rust finds a devil trap in the Fontenont's outbuilding, Danny's caretaker tells Marty and Rust that she hasn't been in the outbuilding since the police first came about Marie.

-Rust tells the detectives, "Bet you want to hear the hero stuff, right? The place we carried the kids out?"

-The detectives say Rust was "off the grid for eight years and showed up back here in 2010". Rust wonders how their new case could be the same guy if "we caught him in '95".

This show is going be like "LOST" - you really have to watch more than once to pick up on a lot of details.

Exactly. Episode thread is the way to go with this show. Wait until we see one fricking thing out of place and BOOM, 100 pages

Excellent. Feel free to do that immediately after each episode. K thanks.

Also, I don't know if it's been mentioned but is it possible that the "monster" in the report on the one girl they looked over was someone in hunting gear? Or maybe someone in a dried, dead grass crown (similar to what was placed on the girl under the antlers)? I just have a feeling that's going to come back up and that it's possibly our killer as he was evolving.

The pic BTW:

Different rooms , hell I say different states. Lone Star beer is only sold in Texas as far as I know. Or they are in Lake Charles

this confused me..Marty asked Rust to come over the night they found the body…so I think the dinner was the same night they found the body and that they had been partners for three months prior to that dinner
