Finished True Detective. Apologies, don't feel like digging up the thread and trawling through 70 pages of asinine predictions about who the Yellow King was. Don't even want to get started on that nonsense.
I just wanted to say...did anyone else feel like that final confrontation was sorta fukking weak? It wasn't even creepy or weird imho. I'm not saying the finale was weak, no, no, in fact the part after the confrontation with Childress hammered home the conceit of the series quite nicely and was rather fitting but I think the final confrontation, Rust walking through the killer's dreary ass maze, the killer taunting him blah blah blah killer leaps out of nowhere, partner shows up, partner can't kill, killer comes after other partner, first partner finishes the killer off. shyt was so banal. And it really just goes to show how basic the actually detective part of the show is and how it wasn't really doing all that much new for a police/detective drama. Nothing new.
But I think about it more and maybe that was the point? That's a bit reachy, but I say that because it makes you think of all the other things the show was actually about, besides the case which the show wasn't really about. I dunno...I am anticipating season 2 fwiw.
The secret occult history of the united states transportation system? I'm in
