re: True Detective Season One E3: "Locked Room"

What's wrong with what he said there? If you aren't a christian, it makes complete sense.

I'll be honest. Everything he said at the tent made complete sense to me.

I've seen both episodes and I'm about to watch the rest of 3.

I'm not saying "book it" but I am saying its a viable theory that Marty is traumatized by the case and perhaps something that happens to his daughter and eventually splits into to different personalities. each personality doesn't know he is the other one....hence then "I don't sleep, I dream"...hence the stilted dialogue by Rust who represents an opposite point of view...Rust also alludes to a daughter who died...his past is foggy (several files are still "classified")...he's not married anymore...just saying


I really hope I'm wrong.

lulz I'm a christian and what Rust the athiest says makes complete sense to me. I don't know many people who say it the way he says it, but I understand the worldview

it's not just gall...it's pretty wise not to

i'm pretty much eliminated from public office out here b/c of that kind of stuff from 15 years ago

but the character they've created is so far from being realistic and it's basically just a vessel to allow MM to chew scenes spouting rants that don't even always come together or make real sense. i know i've been in this corner since ep 1, but they've created a static character to chew scenes, instead of a dynamic character that is realistic but has profound thoughts

I think the Rust revealed to us thus far in 1995 and in the interviews has been a troubled man teetering on the edge of control; however, these are two different troubled men. At these points he is even-keeled therefore static, but in between 1995 and present time, changes occur and we will be seeing the impetus for the changes in the episodes to come.

he may not be realistic...on purpose...as in he may not be a real person. they way he philosphizes constantly comes off as if he is a split off of Woody's personality...his dark conscience or the doubts/cynicism that lie within him...I hope to God that is wrong and they don't go that way with the story, but I fear that is where this is headed

So his wife invited a friend onto a double-date with her husband and his alternative, dark personality? Too many scenes show people interacting with both of them.

5. What is the tattoo on Rust's arm? That's a new addition since 1995, right?

---

No he has this when he smells pussy on Marty in the locker room. I'd assume it was something he got done while undercover prior to 1995.

Yea this plus the scenes with their Major debunk this theory IMO

i really hope he doesn't play "God" the entire series. that was my fear after ep 1 and i was hoping it ended there. that's why i got into all those arguments after ep1

This guy. I feel bad for you.
