That opening scene was :scusthov: to the tenth power...

It's like the writer/director went outta their way to out-creep, out-disturb everything in existence.

Here is some dialogue from 'North By Northwest'.......the movie that Errol stooped down to listen to at the beginning.

http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/North_by_Northwest

Look at the quotes from Roger Thornhill




    • Ah, Maggie, in the world of advertising, there's no such thing as a lie. There's only the expedient exaggeration. You ought to know that.



    • [to The Professor] Now you listen to me, I'm an advertising man, not a red herring. I've got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several bartenders that depend upon me, and I don't intend to disappoint them all by getting myself "slightly" killed.

:banderas:



Oh yeah, the woman that plays "Maggie" in that scene is an uncredited part played by a woman named Doreen Lang

North by NorthWest?

He's clearly taking shots at Yeezy and Kim K.

The Keeping up with the Karadashians finale aired at the same time.

Th Jenners/Kardashians are an occult sex family that has been raping the youth for decades.

Lamar Odom is the real Yellow King.

:ohhh:

I think a lot of you fail to realize this series was about Marty and Rust relationship and everything else was a vehicle to drive that. I thought Nick made that obvious from the get go. I for one am one of the viewers that love movies/shows with a straight forward point with no bullshyt twist to throw everything all off. People mistook constant themed imagery etc... and turned them into all sorts of made up theories etc... and then turned out disappointed when those supposed "loose ends" then get closed. I thought the series closed out beautifully with the dialogue between the two detectives.

OK, read all your thoughts.

You guys serious with this? You are OK with the last few episodes turning into a standard detective drama? You are OK with the Tuttle part of the storyline having zero resolution? I never once thought that the Spaghetti Monster was supposed to be the endgame this season, it seemed clear to me that he was just a player in a larger game (which he was, and which the show presented to be the endgame). So the relief that Marty and Rust have at the end for getting "their guy" just seemed false to me. Rust spent years turning into a worn out alcoholic and druggie trying to take down the Tuttle clan, but he almost seemed accepting of everything at the end. Did not make sense for the character at all.

"
The last episode of the season just concluded and I'm pretty sure people are going to complain about all of the loose ends (ie: What about the rest of the cult? Tuttle? etc). Well let me attempt to make sense of it.

Following the "Time is a flat circle" theory that many of the show's characters believe, what we witnessed was essentially the same exact thing that happened in 1995 to the detectives. Cohle says that everything we do we are bound to repeat. What happened with Reggie Ledoux and Dewall was the same thing that happened with the spaghetti monster. Rust and Marty got their man and are seen as heroes yet again. They killed someone who was definitely involved in the murders and shed some light on missing persons.

The only difference is this time Rust understands this. He acknowledges this in their hospital parking lot convo. He also has the perspective to admit that while what they did in no way stops the killings, it was nevertheless the right and good thing to do.

TL;DR: Time is a flat circle and the detectives just Reggie Ledoux-ed the Spaghetti Monster"

works for me. :yeshrug:

The endgame wasn't to take down the Tuttle clan, but to actually get the guy behind the 95 murder. They knew LeDeoux wasn't the guy and the real killer was out there.

And yeah, the spaghetti monster was just a player in a larger game, but they weren't gonna get to those higher levels.

As a viewer, I didn't expect them to take down the powerful Tuttle family.

Rust wasn't relieved, he was upset that he didn't realize how tall dude was because he was sitting down and couldn't see the scars because of dirt and how the Tuttles needed to be stopped, but Marty told Rust that that shyt wasn't gonna happen.


We even heard the news reporter at the end say that the authorities gave the :ufdup:to any suggestions that the Tuttle family was involved in any way.

The Tuttle part of the storyline wasn't gonna be "resolved" They're an extremely powerful family in Louisiana that's involved in some fukked up shyt and despite there being evidence in some of their dealings, they're able to sweep the shyt under the rug with only the pawns being touched.

From what LeDeoux was saying, there were some very powerful men involved, something like that isn't gonna be taken down easily.
We already knew who the killer was in episode 7.. one of the big wigs in the conspiracy or at least someone unexpected needed to be exposed in the finale. They at least owed that to us. Good show though. Not better than Breaking Bad

If you think you're lonely now, ohhh girl...
Good season, could've been truly great. The first 5 episodes were absolutely incredible. The last 3 Nic jumped the shark like a muhfukka. I still think he's a talented writer, he just fukked up, in my opinion. *Forrest Gump voice* That's all I have to say about that.

I understand and respect this criticism. It really ventured into cliche Cop Show Drama territory after the first 5. I still enjoyed the finale though.

It at least rates watching the next season.

We knew who the killer was, Rust and Marty didn't.

As far as big wigs, we know that Pastor Tuttle was directly involved, he had tapes of one of the killings and gave his cousin maintenance contracts in his schools and churches that gave him access to kids.

Sen. Tuttle was at the very least, exposed in the coverup, he had a "task force" ready the first episode and probably had something to do with the State's Attorney and the FBI shutting down rumors about the family's involvement quick.

I'm not sure why they would've needed to show someone unexpected just to have us go
