were we looking through his eyes? were we seeing him the way he saw himself?

that was how i took it.

I just took it as he was batshit crazy

Are you saying that Rust should have known all along that the lawn man was connected?

---

after hearing that the serial killer was never caught, the first place he goes to is the school. He goes into the school and sees the wooden sculptures. Seems like the lawnmower man warranted some more questioning.

I remember seeing posts comparing the green face man and the lawnmower guy very early in this series.

I think it would have rang false to have Hart and Cohle suddenly clean up 50 years of the culture history that led to Errol Childress, or to get all the men in that video. It's important to me, I think, that Cohle says, "We didn't get em all, Marty," and Marty says, "We ain't going to. This isn't that kind of world." This isn't the kind of world where you mop up everything. We discharged our duty, but of course there are levels and wheels and historical contexts to what happened that we'll never be able to touch.

Can we discuss the first 5 minutes of the episode being the most awkward 5 minutes of television history? WTF was going on with Errol and his half sister then dead daddy?

HBO has a mandate for sex and/or nudity. I'm thinking NP put these two ugly fricks as a to HBO for their Mandate.

Rust should have been reading message boards.

guess Nic answered my questions about Errol changing his voice

quote:

---

Early in the episode, we see Errol come into the big house, "North by Northwest" is playing and he starts doing a James Mason voice. Then he slips into a number of other accents. What was behind that?

Nic Pizzolatto: That was part of his creation as a character. There was this idea that when he talks in his real voice, it's very slurred because of the scarring. My background for him was that he learned how to enunciate properly through watching all these old VCR movies. And that brings us back to the idea of storytelling, right? At one minute he can affect this Andy Griffith good ol' boy voice, the next he can sound like James Mason, and when he wants to use his real voice, he sounds like something wounded and damaged. And then when Cohle is in Carcosa, he sounds like something entirely different.

For the character it was a minor occurrence in a string of interviews over the course of weeks, months, and years. Its completely plausible and likely he didn't notice.

because a weak ending is a sure sign of a hit!

You thought that the ending was weak? How so, what would you have liked to happen?
