Some might not grasp it but if those kids were on LSD and meth being tortured and molested by the Scarred lawn mower man.

His scars would be perceived like

Hence the spaghetti monster description.

Just giving an adult a surprise dose of that combo would be :demonic: with no torture...But kids:damn:

Ive been thinking about the wife theory for a while now. There were way too many coincidences in that home to dismiss. The girl with the dolls, the circle drawing and psych paintings to name a few. The only problem I have with the wife is in on it theory though is that she lied to protect Rust when questioned. If she was in on it or protecting someone it would be in her best interest to get Rust off the case and there is no better way to do that than try to get him locked up.

Anyways this is why I love this show. So many different potential outcomes and I expect some kind of twist in the finale.

And y'all new nikkas hating on the last two episodes can :camby:

I knew that wild scene in episode 4 was going to lure in simple minded folk who expect every episode to be action packed...

I see why some folks are a bit let down by these last two eps, but it was to be expected. The mystery is always greater when it's still a mystery. It's why classic crime writers such as Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle always put off the solution of the case until the very end, reveal all the facts and mystery in a climax and end it. The last two episodes have been about Rust and Marty putting two and two together, which isn't as interesting as trying to make sense of the case (investigate) with them.

That's because the mystery isn't really the point of the show. The mystery was always only a vehicle for the character study of the two detectives. The writer explained this in one of the interviews he gave.

Thoroughly enjoyed Rust & Marty back at it after their lives had turned to shyt. Seeing Marty with that failing business, and eating that TV-Dinner was such potent ether, brehs :to: That 5 second scene should be enough to convince all the Coli-Players to get married, and stay married. From like 50 on that bachelor life is :flabbynsick:

The fact that Rust was actually just drinking his life away in a bar since 2002 was also depressing. Dude had nothing. Not gonna lie, that burglary scene was a bit :comeon: to me. If there has been any drop off in the last two episodes, for me, its because of some shyt like that. Rust getting his mission impossible on, and that being a major plot point was kind of weak to me.

Still, the greatness of the dynamic between MM and WH is what carried these episodes. Watching how they played their relationship ten year after the falling out was dope to me.

Maggie showing up to the bar seems sort of random. Makes me think she's still somehow involved, not sure on that one.

Last, I'm starting to think spoilers with this show aint that big of a deal. Doesn't look like it's shaping up to have that kind of a mind-blowing ending. Things have been developing in a fairly logical manner, the more interesting developments are between Marty and Rust.....

yeah, he said exploring the human condition was the primary purpose of the show.

Quality post right here. I agree with all of it.

If you think you're lonely now, ohhh girl...
When the old lady said, "You know Carcosa?"

:merchant:

I thought the juxtaposition between the black detectives and Marty and Rust was interesting. The former comes up on the prime suspect by happenstance and can't even be bothered to pay attention to him. Marty and Rust would've been all over that.

Caught this shyt this morning. Interesting to see how they tie all this up in one episode next week. A lot of moving parts that need to be tied together.
