woody's facial expression is killing me in this gif brehs. this man has the face of someone who thoroughly enjoys his job. you can tell he almost forgot where he was :laff:


If you pay attention in the first episode, the interview with Cohle is dated before the interview with Hart. Which means the cops were first talking to Cohle about the case, and then to Hart about Cohle.

They're trying to set up the idea the cops are interested in Cohle because they think he has something to do with the 2012 killing, but here's a theory: What if they're really after Hart for messing with the '95 case (evidence tampering, wrong suspect) just to get rid of it? Because so far as I remember they've only mentioned the 2012 killing to Cohle, leaving that information out of the talk with Hart. I think the interview narrative will slowly reveal that Hart couldn't handle the case because of how it affected his home life, emphasized by the boundaries-breaking presence of Cohle. So when he got the chance to end the case he went for it, but now that the killer has reappeared, his tampering with the case will come to light.

I doubt Martin would intentionally sink the case because he had the chance to hand it off in this episode, and chose to stick with it.

Show is great but the only downside to something like this is we won't know how great it is until the mystery wraps up. That will make or break it.

those t*ts :bryan:

I don't know what the fukk ya'll talking about though saying Marty tryna set Rust up. literally NOTHING points to that

Rust definitely is not the killer. obvious red herring

Marty can't be, it just doesn't make any sense. But I can envision things progressively going downhill for him (marriage and what not) which results in him tampering with the murder case and pinning down the wrong suspect just for the hell of "redemption"

If somehow that happens to be true then I suspect this is one of the reason for their fallout as in Rust someway realize at one point that he was trumped by Marty and that they got the wrong guy

great, great show

He chose to stick with it because no cop likes to give away a case. Another thing that stuck out to me was that in basically both episodes we got mentions of Hart's legacy and good reputation from the mayor. But as we all know, politicians gauge a cop's reputation not by how well they do their job, but by how little trouble they stir up and how swiftly they end problematic cases. We already know that Hart is a hypocrite, so if his home life falls apart like we pretty much know it will, and the major continues to push him to end the case ("or else"), there's no telling what he might do.

I guess I don't see the logic of him suddenly being driven to solve the case at all costs, when he was :manny: about the whole thing to begin with. They have 2 weeks to solve it, if they give us a scene with Martin obsessing over the case....or even taking more than a passing interest in it, because so far he's been pretty nonchalant about the whole thing....then I could understand what you're saying. But so far he doesn't really seem to give a fukk either way, it's just another case for him. Rust fits this profile a lot more than Martin.

The most likely scenario is they do solve the case, in a way they think is legit, but something goes wrong in the process and does irrevocable hard to their relationship, and possibly careers. Then again as far as I remember there wasn't anything to indicate they left the force under bad circumstances, it was more "something went wrong". If Martin sunk the case I seriously doubt the cops interviewing him would be so casual.

I think THEGODLING is right. I think martin might've framed the wrong person or something so he could wrap up the case. And he's right cops don't like handing off cases, especially to the FBI. It makes them look weak and incompetent. I think Marty's life starts to spiral out of control, personally and professionally which leads him to do some dirty cop work, just to get the case over with.

If that's the case they did a terrible job of illustrating it. As hypocritical as Martin is in his personal life, nothing he's done has suggested he'd do some shyt like you guys are saying. Rust on the other hand? Definitely. The guy is buying illegal drugs from hookers and beating up suspects.

If the case goes sideways it will most likely be from Martin not giving a fukk, possibly because his personal life is in shamble, than him actively doing something wrong IMO.

It would be like Marty to do some shady cop shyt. The guy is the ultimate hypocrite. The difference between Marty and Rust is, everything Rust is perceived to be he is. Rust is a straight shooter and comfortable in his own skin. Marty is full of secrets. He portrays the hardworking straight laced cop, who is a family man. Which we the audience knows to be false.

They've done a great job of showing how Marty's whole life is a lie.
