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

I would have liked some explanation for the stuff with Marty's daughter. I'm half wondering if the implication is that she was a victim and Marty and Rust just never figured it out.

:manny: she was a very impressionable child and Marty wasn't really in her life. I don't think she was involved in any way. She drew those gruesome pictures because some friends dared her

Seems like all of the victims were kids going to schools or churches ran by the Tuttles. If that was the case for Marty's daughters he would've definitely made that connection

Maybe a classmate told her about sex, I don't remember the context of dolls on the floor but is it possible that it was just our minds interpreting innocent play as something evil?

Man, there is so much that could be said, I don't even know where to start.

Overall, I was very satisfied with this season. HBO definitely has "another show" for me to look forward to, which is great, because I'm not going anywhere near Looking.

The finale was worthy, I won't say that it was groundbreaking, but it was what I expected : A conclusion to the Lange murder, and closure for each lead detective.

Matthew McConaughey might get an Emmy for this performance brehs. Every line had me clued to the screen. His description of letting go and accepting death, only to sadly wake up in the hospital....that was brilliant. They didn't go too far....he is still Rust, but his final line about "the light winning" shows that he has grown just a little more optimistic.

This moment had me like....:wow:

Even though I personally think it was *just* one of his visions coming back....still awe-inspiring.

There wasn't really anything to this, other than showing the theme of how Marty's shytty parenting was continuously fukking up his daughter. It culminated in him slapping her and calling her a whore.

It was just a repetition of imagery....her dolls, Rust beer can figures, her drawings, the tape....it was a visual technique, not a storytelling technique.

Marty's daughter turned out like that because he wasn't attentive enough towards his family. He tells us this in the interviews. All the time she was growing up and acting out he wasn't that concerned over it until she was in the backseat getting smutted out.

The scene where Maggie brings it up in the living room, he's paying more attention to the game on TV then what was being discussed. Before that he saw the dolls in her room and just thought nothing of it. Marty's situation was brought on himself by his own doing. That's why he didn't really have anything to say when Rust said, that him smashing his wife could be said as Marty's fault.

As far as this thread goes, YALL SERIOUSLY LOST HARD with all these theories and shyt. I'm so glad I didn't have to read through this as the season went on, because I would probably hate the show at the end of it. Even though the writer flat out told yall to chill out you just couldn't help yourselves. Some of the posts I read here tonight are just ridiculous.

OK, now off to read all yalls thoughts on the finale:lupe:

Man, I didn't even catch up on this shyt until like last friday. Burned through the first 6 episodes in one day....at that point I was hooked but when I checked online I realized that I was no where near as deep into the shyt as many others were.

Kind of glad I essentially marathoned this in a week. I probably woulda been upon here with the theories and shyt too....:laugh:

It's kind of refreshing that this didn't have a true supernatural element. There is more than enough dork/man-child shows out there to get that stuff. But this wasn't going for that. True Detective....:smugfavre:

I'm sure one of you can answer this, but...

After they got the info from the captain off the boat, they go back to Marty's PI office and start examining the evidence. They have the pictures pinned on the wall, and Marty asks, "Why the green ears?"... then they look into the house and the paint job. I went back and watched it, and I know that they said the house pics were from the Dora Lang canvasing photo files, was that house just in the neighborhood? I'm a bit confused as to how that revelation was made that the guy they were after may have painted that house. That part went over my head.

Y'all wanted a private investigator and a former detective to somehow take down the most powerful family in Louisiana? The world doesn't work that way.The show was a character study and a great one.The dudes who were in here coming up with half assed theories and worshipping Rust as some type of philosophical superhero ruined it for yourselves.Remus told Rust to take off his mask while giving that work and at end while weeping in a wheelchair Rust reveals his true feelings regarding his lost family,the mask he was wearing for years was finally removed. I'm throughly happy with how this story concluded
