So are you going to stop watching?

Nah, the show still is fantastic on many aspects. It's artistically one of the best shows I've ever watched.

As a philosophy head, it was a refreshing to see a character take a nihilistic approach to experiencing life. It made the character different.

Yall gonna be disappointed when that big twist yall waiting for doesn't happen.

Ok, I stand corrected. You were right. It appears that Cohle is possibly due for some heroic self-sacrificing martyring.

What a bore. Taking a character that was unique and making him into every other character.

I think it makes the character better.

There's no reason for half the shyt Rust does if he's really that cynical about life. He wouldn't care about random people dying if he seriously believed humankind should "walk hand-in-hand into extinction". Let alone get hired to investigate those random deaths in Homicide, where he requested to be.

Most of the shyt he says sounds good on paper but if you look at who he is, and how he acts, it doesn't add up. And that was the case long before he fukked Marty's wife.

Another great episode.

I am beginning to believe that the Yellow King probably isn't just one person. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a yellow robe and hideous mask (might explain the poor girl losing her shyt when being asked about 'his face') that goes to whomsoever meets a criteria or completes a task of some form. I am also of the belief that Tuttle didn't off himself of his own volition. He might have been forced to like the prisoner that confessed to Rust in ep. 5.

The fight was very well done. When Marty slammed into Rust's trucked all I could think was that he would definitely be feeling that in the morning. I think the show wants us to think that Rust has been driving around with a busted tail light for over a decade.

Maggie was a resounding disappointment. The final scene between her and Marty was amazing though. They each hurled accusations at each that I thought were more self descriptive than anything else. The only whore in that dining room was Marty and Maggie is the bigger coward because she would rather debase herself than leave Marty or kick his ass out. How telling was it that after the deed with Rust she tells Rust that having sex with him was the only way to get him {Marty} to leave. That was a biggest bytch move on her but she does have a nice ass though.

I loved when Rust told that woman she should kill herself just

I disagree. I was under the impression he was solving the case as a purely intellectual matter or as a means to keep going on in life. The books and fascination with the subject kind of originally pointed to this. Not that the character would never be able to display compassion, because obviously he has (shooting the guy who shot up the infant with drugs).

I also disagree about "how he acts". Besides covering up for Marty shooting Reggie and the stint with Maggie, everything else could be viewed under a subjective sense of "transcendence", that is, he realizes existence is one way, but he could operate outside those limits without sacrificing his core beliefs (that's what Nic states in the clip posted by @GoldenGlove ). Matter of fact, this is a key core concept of a type of existentialism, existential nihilism ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existential_nihilism ). Life and existence is indifferent, so operate as you see fit.

It doesn't make the character any less complex mind you but just less unique. There is countless "troubled" characters. It would have been refreshing to see a purely philosophical approach to life that we haven't been presented with yet. It started as that but now it's approaching "been there, done that" territory.

Yall gonna be disappointed when that big twist yall waiting for doesn't happen.

There is no twist. The story is straight. It's a cult who rape and kill kids in the woods. And they are powerful men. But story isn't about that. It's how that cult shaped the lives of two men without them knowing how deep it is. They thought it was a simple case of some crazy hillbillies killing women in woods. But who knew from episode one that it would involve Marty's kids? Who knew it would unhinged rust who was already detached? The show is still awesome without a super twist. And I thought the show was great before all lovecraftian themes and whoever Robert w chambers was.
