i felt it was a lazy and very predictable way to end the Rust character.
I thought his death would have been lazy/predictable. Since about week 3, most people have been speculating on Rust's demise. I thought it was rather refreshing to have both of them survive.

frick reading this whole thread, but am I correct that: 1. Basically none of the kidfrickers got caught; 2. Errol was just a victim who was a little peeved at what the kidfrickers had done to him so he was going to inflict the worst kind of pain on them and "all the children of men" - so his motivation for the killing spree was in reaction to the child molestation, not as part of it; 3. There was no "cult" other than Errol, crazy lady, Reggie and Dewall; 4. In a sense, Marty and Rust were on the wrong trail the whole time, as they thought the kidfrickers were doing the killing when in actuality it was the enemy of the kidfrickers - they just kind of lucked into finding Errol 5. What about Reggie's comment about rich and powerful people doing the devil worship? Wouldn't classify Errol as rich, and wouldn't (based on what we know) classify the kidfrickers as devil worshippers
prepare to be yelled at by "It's not about the cult, it's about the characters!!!"

agreed. the dark unhappy ending is more of a cliche now than a "happy ending"...I'm satisfied with the ending because of where these two men ended up at teh conclusion.

if Rust would have not had his "coming to Jesus" moment, people would have bitched that Rust never developed
some people just like to bitch

when did it come to light that the writers planned to do a different set of lead characters every season?
this probably gave weight to the death angle.

Well, #2 is right bc he said as much. He specifically said something about "what they did to him" and that was the motivation for his killings. I just don't get how it fits together. However, maybe Ryno is right and he started off associated from the cult and just went a little off the reservation.
I guess #3 should have been more specific. There was clearly a bigger, more influential child molestation cult, but it seemed like the Yellow King Cult was limited to Errol, Reggie and Dewall. I just don't buy that the governor and the like would associate at all with a dirt farmer like Errol.
I stand by #4 even if everything Ryno said is true. The governor and his vast conspiracy was not the killer and really had no relationship to the killings other than the fact that Errol, who was doing the killings, was formerly a victim.
Oh, and paw in the shed was not dead. He was keeping him alive.

The whole green paint being the clue that broke the case was pretty sloppy writing.

explain
people toss around "sloppy" or "lazy" writing all the time but never really explain how

Seeing a green house and assuming thats where the green ears came from is a REALLY big stretch.

Don't get me wrong, this show was great, but it seems like around here it was pushed from great to epic because of the location.
Not like the show is being heaped with praise nationally or anything.
go back to the individual threads for the first 2 episodes. It was more than just praise(which i agree the show deserves). There were countless comments about this being the G.O.A.T. and best 2 hours of television ever witnessed, etc. Intertwined were people being giddy over the LSU baseball reference and identifying every single location used.

There are still many out there.

I don't think so. He was molesting little kids and killing them. There was tons of missing children buried in his backyard.

3. There was no "cult" other than Errol, crazy lady, Reggie and Dewall;
No there were more. It seems like it started with the grandfather, who was fricked up, molesting kids, and created several offspring. The Childress' and the Tuttles were involved to some extent.

No Errol was one of the kidfrickers.

His family contained some very rich and powerful people. Errol seemed to have been the "worst" one but he wasn't the most powerful. He was definitely connected to the rich and powerful through his family/half-family.

And the fact they found the devil catcher in the playhouse.

I don't see how the 2 have to be connected...
