re: True Detective (Collective Theories Thread)

Until I see it on Sunday night, I believe Marty is more than a skirt chasing big dick good ole boy. I believe Rust is investigating him and will until I see contradictory evidence.

There's no support for it at all. In fact there's support against it. The guy who wrote the show advised the viewers that it's intended to be more straight-forward than people are theorizing/anticipating.

I'm telling you, it's going to be a deal where a cabal of rich and powerful residents of the region have formed a Bohemian Grove of sorts, except that they do real sacrifices instead of pretending. Sort of like what the rumors around the whole Penn State/ Sandusky thing say was really going on up there in Pennsylvania. Look into the DA from up there who was investigating the Sandusky thing years ago and disappeared - forever. Something happens, likely to Marty's girl, that makes them realize that Ledoux wasn't THE guy. For one reason or another - likely because they hit a wall of obstruction in trying to investigate it through official channels - Rusty has to go underground, which is his forte, in order to continue his investigation without police sanction.

Holy run-on

You're joking right? Not another one jumping on the Marty done it train I hope.

I concur.

I happen to like run-ons so I too think you don't need to adhere to societies idea of structure and or norms to post your musings on the depth of layers or eccentricities of True Detective while talking about her being snatched by the biker gang as payment for Ledoux or some shite leading Rust to go Narc which leads him to the gang and eventually a Louisiana connection which then leads him to request his assignment with LPD.

I think Rust and Marty are who we think they are in the show. Marty a typical old school good ole boy who is a decent detective and Rust, a intense and deep thinking undercover cop. Rust knows to much and has gotten the way he is because of the work he has done undercover. We see this as he does the job with the biker group.

Both lie, but the only giant lie was the way Ledroux was killed. Mostly because Marty saw a dead kid and another still alive, so he freaked. Yes it was bad to lie but anyone would have done the same. "The case is done" but Rust never removes himself from it after finding out that they got the wrong guy. Marty goes back to being his old self after it all. Both have that understanding of backing each other up on the incident regardless of how they feel about each other.

There is a cult which Rust is closing in on and knows way more than what he is telling so far. He's piecing it together for the ultimate frick you at the end of the season.

Somehow that cult group is involved with kids because everything is dealing with either a school or young girls.

Tl;dr Marty and Rust are not involved with murders, there is a cult. Rust closing in on them. Marty continues his old way of life. Rust gonna save the day

Eta this sums it up much better LINK

Cooter,

I think you're dead on. Nic Pizzolatt said that everything we need to solve the case is right in front of us the first two episodes. That's in-line with the rich cult theory.

Has anyone picked up on the fact that Rust Cohle is an anagram for "short clue". The killer could be a midget that we missed...because he is so short!
