could you explain this a lil more breh

Sure breh.

If you hear about a cult that worships the devil, you wouldn't ask "so who is the devil in that cult?" because it's not a person. It's what they worship.

The same goes for The Yellow King. It's who they worship. Now, one of those crazy fukks might think he's The Yellow King, same as a serial killer might run around calling himself Satan, or saying the devil sent him, but that doesn't mean it's true.

Eh....I feel you but at the same time you gotta understand most people aren't like us. Most people didn't see the lawnmower man shyt from a mile away. Most people on message boards seen that shyt from a mile away, but like I said people have been throwing shyt at a wall since the first episode. Think about how many theories have been wrong vs the handful that were right.

I've yet to talk to a person that doesn't frequent message boards that made the connection that it was the same guy. Despite this being the Golden Age of TV most people watch it the same way they always have. Which is to say, half assed. Especially people around my age. If you've spent the last 30+ years watching TV it's hard to acclimate yourself the intricate story telling that goes on in these prestige dramas. This is a relatively recent trend in TV.

Anyway, a lot happened, just not for us. But we watch the show obsessively, so :manny:

As far as the cult, they don't really need any more lore or back story. I tried to tell cats like 50 pages ago about the Lovecraft shyt, that's obviously what this cult is based on. Especially with the old black woman talking about "Him Who Eats Time"....that's Lovecraft 101. Each of the Great Old Ones has a name and then an unofficial title, IE Nyarlathotep aka The Crawling Chaos, Yigg aka The Father Of Serpents, Yog-Sothoth aka The Lurker At The Threshold, etc.

There is a fukk ton of lore out there that the show gave people in short hand, that's why I tried to explain as much as possible.

yeah man, my dad watches shows pretty in depth, and he barely even remembered the lawnmower guy. I had to refresh his memory. People that aren't on message boards definitely didn't see that coming. It was so brief, and so far back.

Good thing I don't go in this thread too often. nikkas analyzing and creating theories to the point where whatever the show ends up doing is underwhelming to you. If you started saying every guy showing up on screen is gonna be the killer, then somebody is bound to be right lol. When the lawn mower guy first showed up on screen again, I was like, "oh look, it's the lawn mower guy that likes to hear himself talk :laugh:". It didn't really take much for me to remember him. Never paid attention to the scars beforehand cuz they were barely visible at the time. Then I saw him close up at that angle :ooh:. I was one of the people that didn't see that coming.

And dudes saying that this show sucks now :childplease::childplease::childplease:. Watch this and then watch Rick running around screaming "Cuarhhhll!!!!".

where they cross-over and clap boards
Been on vacation for a week and I'm behind 2 episodes so I can't go back and view the last few pages because of spoilers. Just caught episode 6 and got damn :damn: what a show. So many things happened....Marty running back into that ol girl from the ranch. It was only a matter of time before old habits kicked in and how could he resist that young nectar :ohlawd: (them snowbunnies really are like that in real life, so experimental and shyt....or so I've heard :guilty: )

So far all the women in Marty's life have fukked him over except for his youngest daughter....what will she do :ohhh:

Marty's wife is so vindictive....fukked Cole. Cole didn't realize what was happening until after that nut then he went from :noah: to :lupe:

With the way 6 ended I have to watch 7 asap

Someone said earlier, man the post 2002 Marty looks defeated. I think him seeing Rust and having a purpose as of taking care of the case has given him some of his life back. Seeing him peel back that flavorless bland TV dinner alone was great scene to me. The look on his face after he tasted which I assume was the nasty jelly like "desert" Tyson dinners gives you was like damn I used to have a woman to cook for me.
