re: Re watching True Detective S1 for the first time (Spoilers)

Wire Season 2 ages like a fine wine. From "WTF is this shite" to "woah, WTF is THIS shite"

Name a better single season of TV. I love the Sopranos , but don’t think any single season beats season 1 of TD. Overall, the Sopranos is better.

The mini-series season return of BSG is damn near perfection.

You are always in the True Detective S1 threads with your tired arguments

He is 100% right, he basically deep dicked all of us

We, me included, were obsessed with the first 7 episodes, and all the cult and how everything was going to come together with all the referencing to background stuff etc. We were posting pictures of background charecters, still pictures of the wind, you name it. Slowflo kept telling us its all going to fizzle and we said he was a limp dicked phag


Then, when nothing tied together and it did fizzle, everyone changed their tune to "its a character piece"

LOST threads GOAT

I thinknit Was much better the second time I watched It.

1. I didnt Downs a week between episodes going down insane rabbit holes and getting my hopes up (I read The King in Yellow)

2. I caught The ending a little better. I had Watched it with a group and missed some of the little nuances.

I think The only thing it was missing was some king of explanation of the yellow king cult mythos, but I also Think that’s the point we’re not supposed to really understand these people.

that whole post-season battle did give us a historic TD-centric meme, though

I didn’t participate in those threads, luckily, because I didn’t watch it weekly. I waited until it was over and bought the dvd and binged it. However, I definitely read them/it afterwards and you were on point.

but in the end the badguys were a meth head and a fat retard

The bad guys were the nature of man and the Creator that damned him to this miserable existence. I mean, from the very beginning, it’s not preaching a very positive message. All of it—life—is meaningless. Nothing matters. Time is a flat circle, so everything that is happening, has happened, or will happen has already happened, and nothing we do can change it. We’re in a loop of futile meaninglessness. Of course the Spaghetti Lawnmower guy they caught was low on the totem poll and didn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. That was part of the point—nothing did. Just what show were y’all watching exactly, and what philosophy did you think it espoused?

I’ll go with wire season 4 as the goat.

SFP was right. Go back to the season long thread. Everyone was trying to solve the mystery and focused on all the little clues that were dropped. Then, none of that mattered. It became a character study.
