People need to stop questioning the killer's/cases details and start questioning the character development of Rust and Marty, which is what this show is actually about.
ok... the whole "life is a black hole only to have slipped into a coma and seen the other side and realized that it is good" angle that Rust had is very weak and lazy writing and ripped straight out of season 6 of Buffy.

and why the frick did he change is voice all the time?

That's such a massive reach
not as massive as pulling pictures of a green painted house from a file and connecting that to the lawnmower man and carcosa.

I for one don't. I like that there are still unkowns out there.
Go watch some reality tv if you need closure.

who got that without this interview?
I got that he was batshit crazy and would move from character to character inside his head
I didn't get that he learned this from the videos though

I don't think you have to think its one of the best shows ever. Why go pooping all over everyone.
because i have a feeling that a large majority of the praise it is getting (note: i agree it was good, but not GOAT like this board wants one to believe) is due to the fact that it was set and filmed in S. LA.

promised this tightly written and connected mystery
When did it do that? The murders and cult were simply vessels to tell the story of these 2 detectives over a 17 year period and it accomplished that. The tone of the show was great and invited viewers to delve deeper than need be which was fun and made discussion of the show after watching an event in itself.

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.

Would have like for them to be lazy and had an interrogation where they clear it all up and feed it to us like little children?
Apparently that's what a lot of people wanted.
But this isn't Psych or Scooby Doo. There didn't need to be a summation at the end if the viewer has been paying attention.

A lot of people are praising this series ouside of this board and South Louisiana.

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.
This is an important theme to the show. It is the seemingly futile continuing struggle against evil. If they had just mopped everything up and changed the seemingly completely ingrained culture then it would have given too much hope. It would have actually accomplished the impossible to bring everything down in one swoop.

No my point was that there was no meaning behind anything cause it really didn't matter because the show is about two detectives relationship. So why show us any of that? What was the point in all the imagery and symbolism if you're never gonna explain it all?
The show could have revolved around them doing different cases in their career and the same things happen to them in their personal life. But he didn't do that. The viewer is led to believe that the show is about more than that. And that THIS case is different
I said it before and I'll say again. I think he had a great idea for a show and then didn't know how to finish it. A poster before said if it was set in a different location there would probably not be as much support for this finale. I agree with that

investigate the involvement of the others in the video?
Haven;t read the entire thread yet, but this may have been addressed, but whatever.
Investigating the others won't happen and it fits with the theme of the stars talk at the end of the episode. There is still a lot of darkness in the world, but the light did just get a victory.

Great detective work!
Except it's completely wrong. No one is claiming this is the greatest show of all time.

and yet, its a really hot show nationally. unless you think people around the country just really love the landscape and accents that much.
it seems your dislike is centered on it being locally filmed.

I
your opinion. Initially I had the same reaction. But after reviewing the events and development up to that point I came to realize that he may not buy his new found theory. Also, as much as interviews have denied it, I still believe Rust and Marty will be back for Season 2. Taking this into account, I can't believe that Rust has taken a 180. I think the entire series should focus on the struggle between his sociopathic self and his new found faith, how Marty plays into the dynamic, and how the cases success' and failures ride on the struggle.

Well that's not at all what that last scene was.

I do think that Rust began to question his theory about a finite existence. Up to that point there was nothing left of his daughter, just blackness.
In his coma he felt her like it was real. He is now curious as to the existence, but the pull of his intellect will not let him accept it completely.
Season 1, nobody changed. They merely revealed their true nature to the audience over the course of the season.
Season 2, we see change
