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

interesting interview with Harrelson and MM about this show

quote:

---

People change a lot in 17 years, which is the scope of this series. How do you balance these two characters, so that viewers recognize you as the same guys, at some level?
HARRELSON: I just took off my wig.
McCONAUGHEY: I just put on my wig. Speaking for myself, it was clear in the writing. One of the great things about this is that the identities of the men, at these times, was very clear. I didn’t have to do a lot of creative wandering in my head. One of my favorite things that I got to do with Cohle was go, “Who is he in ‘95?” Here’s a guy who is coming back on to a case, just barely hanging onto the rails. He needs a case to keep his shite together, literally. In 2012, he’s off the rails. He’s cashed in. He’s fallen prey to his own beliefs. Every day that he’s alive is another day of penance, in this indentured servitude he calls life. So, a lot of what’s fun and entertaining about this show is that, when you cut to 17 years later, he and I as characters are both wondering what happened in the 17-year interim to these two men. Then, you’re going to slowly find out what happened. You’re going to find out if what I’m telling is the truth. Where are our stories the same? Where do they veer from what really happened? What happened in that 17 years and how we’re connected is really the fun of the eight episodes.

how am I trolling?

i didn't notice that before but on the bottom left of that picture…what the hell is that supposed to be?

So what you are telling me, is they are both wearing wigs, therefore they can still be the same person?

Really? His girls drawing dicks. Him jokin about being a regular dude with a big dick. Your ridiculous explanation of "OMG! Maybe he has shiny jaws under his gas mask! Derp."

Your character sucks. Either that or you're just really dumb/naive. Any other adjective you can find between here and the OT. Just awful.

Not sure why people can pick up on Skillets persona and not yours.

In my defense, this is the first TD thread I've read start to finish, so it's the first time I've seen his "same person" tripe.

I'm not advocating for the theory Lester. I won't mention it again. that quote I posted from the interview has nothing to do with that theory…

Did the preacher say that the kids painted the mural in the burned down church? I thought they worded the question poorly. As they asked the question the preacher couldn't have been certain what they were talking about. They should have been more specific.

Quite the contrary, the way they asked the question, "who painted the mural?" if the preacher answered by talking about anything other than the trees and starry sky painted around the bottom of the wall, then they would have known he was the killer or involved. In other words, in order to in any way be unclear as to "what they were talking about" he would ahve had to know there was more than one mural/drawing.

Notice they didn't say, "who painted the naked bitch with antlers?"

Thank god this show has come along to fill my GoT void.
