re: True Detective S3 Finale - Sunday 8PM

For those mad at Julie for naming her daughter Lucy, she likely doesn’t have any idea that Lucy sold her, right? I mean the Arduin kid didn’t know that HJ made Lucy OD. As far as present Julie knows, her mom OD’d after she couldn’t find her.

Stop while you’re ahead

Arkansas

If she was fed lithium and didn’t know who she was, why did she call the hotline? Or clearly it wasn’t her making the call. Was that further referenced?

I'm sure it was who mad the call but whatever brainwashing occured to her they made Tom to be the bad guy. Tom really got shite on the entire season.

Time takes everything but the truth.

Time heals all wounds.

IDK, nick fricked up here.

Forgot to mention, the scenario that ultimately gave us the ending of Wayne finding Julie, was a book falling on the ground, somehow falling open right to the page about Mike, then Wayne’s ghost wife explaining it all to him. This literally happened. This is how we found Julie Purcell.

that’s some good ol deus ex machina plot device usage. A sure sign that Pizzolato got to the end and realized that the 3 timelines had written himself into a hole that he couldn’t get out of in a remotely satisfying way in only 8 episodes

Anyone else bother by the way they pronounced Ardoin?

No the higher up north you go the more they butcher Ardoin. They were remarkably close enough for my satisfaction.

What about the woman that was by Lucy’s side for everything after the disappearance? She showed Amelia a picture, then gave her a different picture, and it wasn’t even mentioned tonight.

This is my biggest problem with the finale and hays not talking to Julie about Tom. Tom was the reason we cared about this story. He was the embodiment of grief and injustice and he died trying to find his daughter. Roland should have gone with hays to find Julie and told her how much her dad loved her. That would have been redeeming.
