Please no. I don't want to picture WH and MM's flaccid dick in every other scene. I am looking forward to Monahans boobies though.


South Park over-exaggerated the amount of penises in GoT. I can only think of 3 characters/times from all 3 seasons that they've shown. South Park made it seem like there were 20 of them every episode. Much more female nudity in GoT.

And why are people comparing the pacing of TD to GoT? Both are totally different shows with different plots, settings, etc. Can't even compare them other than they're both HBO shows.

As soon as I saw posters analyzing the socioeconomic status of the baseball player and how it badly represented LSU's baseball team, I knew what I was in for.

Prediction: Either the now-former governor or the 'handicapped' ex-ballplayer is the killer

In damaged detective murder mystery novels set in La, it seems like there is always a nasty politician or member of the old south aristocracy and a dirty religious figure involved in serial murders/ritualistic killings. I wouldn't be surprised (and hope) that this is used only as a misdirect here.

No way the preacher is the killer because that would just be lazy on the writers part. I believe the preacher, Govs brother, was introduced to cause some friction with MM. I believe the preacher will hamper the investigation, through his brother, at some point because he believes MM is a non Christian lunatic. I am referring to the white preacher, obviosuly, and not the preacher at the black church.

Seeing as this thread is as long as Walking Dead threads do you all agree we should do individual episode threads for True Detective.

I dont understand the point of individual threads. If the OP just updates each week with what page a new episode starts on then no big deal right?

I think we should do a per episode thread.

Agreed, The season long threads are never as good as the episode by episode.

The OP for this thread is a relative newb. Can he/she be depended on to reliably update the thread title?

Seeing how many posts are in this thread means we could probably do episode threads. Just my opinion

Not trying to be a dick. But the OP hasn't posted in this thread since the 13th.

Which supports my point. If there will be a season long thread we need a regular to make it. Though I am fine with episode threads.
