True Detective Season 1 (NO SPOILERS)

[FloorGeneral]

Marty is crazy as hell man. He came out of that building and with no hesitation blew Ledoux's head off. As soon as their story and what we were seeing wasn't adding up (plus the mention of the Shooting Board), I knew Ledoux was gonna die out there, but didn't expect it to be like that.

It's a shame our Reverend friend died in '10 (meaning he can't be the current killer, meaning he can't be THE killer, if there indeed is just one). I think we're all in agreement that it's NOT Rust right? I mean, that's just too damned obvious. I CAN see him fukking with dude's medicine, but only AFTER he had a chat with him. So if he did kill Tuttle, it's because he knew that he was involved, and had the protection of the Governor, so Rust took matters into his own hands.

Rust and Marty secretly working the case on the low all these years? We don't know why they "broke up" yet, but assuming it was shortly after the prisoner ended up dead, maybe the whole thing was a smoke screen, feigning a split so the "powers that be" don't feel threatened by them anymore. Meanwhile Rust goes off the grid, operating without restraints, all the while getting info from Marty when he needs it. shyt, imagine if he went "under", to infiltrate this lunatic cult/church/whatever, and had to kill Tuttle cause he recognized him?

On a side note, how the hell does some junkie that has to kill just to get pills from a pharmacist know anything about The Yellow King? And if he knows about Him/It, how isn't it more wide known? Something in there just feels wrong to me.

3 more episodes. Show has definitely lived up to the hype for me. Most hooked I've been on a show in quite a while.

 

[EQ.]

So Rust stopped having those Hallucinations entirely ?

Figuring out what's going on and rewatching makes me feel like the show is becoming my "The King in Yellow" lol.

Don't kill nobody breh.

From Charlie Lang
"He said that there's this place down south where all these rich men go to, uh, devil worship. He said that, uh, they—they sacrifice kids and whatnot. Women and children all got—all got murdered there and, um, something about someplace called Carcosa and the Yellow King. He said there's all these, like, old stones out in the woods, people go to, like, worship. He said there's just so much good killin' down there. Reggie's got this brand on his back, like a spiral. He says that's their sign."

Great info if it wasnt posted already

Anyone familiar with Lovecraft's "cosmic horrors" should see the thematic similarity. For his unfortunate protagonists, the ultimate truths of the universe are too much for their overloaded minds to handle. It should not be surprising that Lovecraft incorporated Chambers's The King in Yellow into his overarching Cthulhu mythos, embellishing the elements of the story and adding the fictitious play to his growing bookshelf of equally fictional mythos tomes.

I was thinking about that when Rust first took a look at it

Spoiler

Wasn't that picture in Marty's home?

Nah it was in Jesse's moms home.

@hexagram23 did you figure out what I posted in the sermon? You see the thing the preacher did? You see how his tent was set up?

Yeah the sign of the cross was inverted.

Fred.

 

[Ciggavelli]

The preacher gave the sign of the cross backwards , that's a devil sign he made. When Rust was saying look at these people and how dumb they are. Cut to the preacher talking about the masks we wear. The preacher did exactly what Rust was talking about he mocked his own flock by putting on a mask for them. Look up his name , it is close to a renowned cult leader from the past.

Preacher Joel Theroit was talking about infinite time like a circle too

Found this quote on reddit:

What is the context of that quote? "IA IA!" is part of a chant from The Cthulhu Mythos.

Fred.

 

[Nature Boy Ric Flair]

I'm glad you quoted these 2 things breh, because it ties into something I was just gonna post.

When Rust and Marty catch Reggie Ladoux he says this to Rust:



"Cassilda's Song" from Robert W. Chambers "The King In Yellow" was already referenced on the show:



Now let's look back at the final scene:

Rust is surrounded by black stars. He's in Carcosa.

That's what I think they'll do. They'll keep adding creepy shyt that can be interpreted either way, similar to the movie "Session 9".

MY nikka @hexagram23 CONTINUES TO DROP KNOWLEDGE

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Preacher Joel Theroit was talking about infinite time like a circle too

Powerful words. How can I know sorrow ? Joel sure does like yellow, shirt and mike and his cross is yellow also. I wonder why...

This was tatted on Reggie's back.

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

I don't how its gonna work out, but that bit when cohle was talking about 4th dimensions and outside of time, looking down at this circular play called existence is the key to all this shyt. We're gonna get some hints of some supernatural shyt going on I think.

I doubt we will see some supernatural shyt and really hope we don't...the scifi element is completely unnecessary...

Everything Rust said to those cops and did in that room was deliberate...I am pretty sure even his entire appearance was also deliberate...Dude has a few screws loose in his head but Rust is not insane, he is incredibly smart...I think both Rust and Marty are still working this case...As we found out someone major is behind these killings...They probably blocked Rust and Marty from investigating any further which forced Rust to once again go the unconventional route...Looking suspect was his way of finding out what new information the cops have regarding the case...That whole shyt with Ginger and Ledoux already showed us how willing Rust is to bend the rules in the name of justice and to what extent he will take it...

Now I could be completely wrong and Rust is the killer but that's the fukking greatness of this show...You think you have a strong idea of where the story is heading but the evidence leaves many possibilities...fukk Marty could even be the killer...

I feel ya.

People reaching with rust and marty being the killers tho

Last thing the belt buckle that Marty has says all around cowboy. You know that's a shout out to BB because that's the name of a song that Marty Robbins wrote.

 

[Conz]

this will sound stupid, but you know conz dont care...

good show, but i really don't have any desire to study it. im not following as much as everyone else seems to be and the reason being is that this shyt is over in a few weeks, and i know damn well ill find a nice write up that will explain everything to me if they show doesn't do it for us. im just not getting the drive to run on the internet and read all the theories about this like i have on other shows, and i think the format is playing a key role in that.
