True Detective Season 1 (NO SPOILERS)

[Francis White]

Thank you @tru_m.a.c and @Wargames for recognizing I figured most of the story out . Also Russ drinking on camera was perfect, he planned that whole interview to get info out the cops. He even said they working for a friend in high places. This whole appearance is just him being in deep cover again. His whole role is just a cover again. Like when he worked Ginger and crew he made himself look like an addict , now he is playing the role of burn out cop. Remember when Martin said what type of cop he was he said regular when describing the role he played. Those 2 are working the these cops because they still on the case.

 

[tru_m.a.c]

Marty did act kinda strange when the detectives were explaining why Rust is a suspect, specially when they mentioned their falling out. Marty is clearly hiding something - might be about Rust, the conspiracy , or both - and I wonder if he ends up telling the detectives or doing something after the interrogation is over.

What if Marty and Rust didn't have a falling out and have kept working together somehow on the low ?

I thought that for a brief second, but its too tacky to pull that same move TWICE.

The likely scenario is Rust got himself fired on purpose after realizing there was no way as a detective he could bring down the governor and his brother (or brother in law…whatever the relation was).

The important thing about the Yellow King and Carcosa isn't what they signify to Reggie Ledoux. It's what they signify to us.
The more I think about it, the more I think this might be the ultimate "meaning" of the series: that at some indivisible level, life is story. Much ado has been made online about all the references on True Detective to the Yellow King and Carcosa, as if they were aspects of a coherent satanic theology to which Ledoux & Co. subscribed—a puzzle to be unraveled eventually. But it's telling that the Yellow King is a reference to The King in Yellow, an 1895 collection of horror stories by Robert W. Chambers that itself references a forbidden play called "The King in Yellow"—a play that in turn "induces despair or madness in those who read it." It's also telling that Chambers borrowed the name "Carcosa" from Ambrose Bierce, and that H.P. Lovecraft later borrowed it from Chambers.

In other words, the important thing about the Yellow King and Carcosa isn't what they signify to Reggie Ledoux. It's what they signify to us. They call attention to the story-ness of the story we're watching. They tell us, as Pizzolatto put it to me, that Dora Lange is "meant to stand in for the universal victim for this type of show"; that Ledoux, with his comically archetypal 666, pentagram, and swastika tattoos, is the universal serial killer; and that True Detective is a form of metafiction.

The dualities in this

i think the yellow king is the preacher dude who is the governors brother or something like that

i think they showed him in the 1st or 2nd episode and Rust didnt know who he was and Marty told him

Yeah, when I first saw dude, he looked weird as fukk.

And it's starting to come together as to why they wanted the Christian group in there for the demonic type of killings/cases.

Why they gotta make Marty into such a clueless oof. Thats why biggest problem with the show I mean like seriously. They making Rust do to much of the work that theres no dynamic.

They should have Rust off Ledue because his outrage over seeing little kids, and Marty come with with a plan to get them out. I mean atleast have Woody's character do something useful instead of fukking up everything in his life

Rust - I'm not talking about sitting in a treehouse waiting to ambush a buck coming to sniff your gash bait. Im talking about tracking

Marty -

Not even 10 mins in and he got the mans soul on the grill

The thing is Marty isn't stupid, he just can't admit to some of the stuff he did on the case because "it didn't go down that way". I mean Marty was the guy who followed the Girlfriend and got the name of the gang that led to the shootout. The problem is he can't admit to that. So when the two modern detectives are telling him "Rust led you from the beginning" he has to shut the fukk up and nod his head.

shyt the fact Marty is in there after Rust's interview actually getting a chance to see the up to date "real" file on the case is worth him acting stupid alone. I'm gonna call it now both are still working the case, and deep down thats why both had to leave the force. Marty is working the official side, while Rust is working the streets.

 

[GoldenGlove]

Marty's just playing dumb to the interviewers. He has Rust's back through and through. That dude ain't stupid

 

[klutch2381]

@ Rust's dedication. Dude has been investigating the case for 10 years on the low. A true detective he is.

 

[dem bath salts]

Rust's so deep undercover he probably has trouble identifying the character he's playing from his true self.
I want to see how this story wraps up but gotdamn Rust is on his way of becoming an Iconic tv character.

 

[Francis White]

Also all the bodies that the killers have done are not found because they usually dumb them in the water. Russ said this area is going to underwater in 10 years and that school that Rust went to still had water damage . When Katrina happened all the evidence went cold or washed away. This is why it took him so long to find the Yellow King. Also Martin said you the story never changed in 17 years and then listen to how Russ got the confession of that new guy , he feed him the answers and he confessed then he mentions the yellow king and Russ snaps because he no longer had the upper hand .

Anyone notice the black stars on the windows at the end of the ep:

Fred.

 

[Costanza]

the look on rust's face after the meth dealer dude said he had a shadow over him... man too good.

also marty isnt stupid... not in the slightest... he put in all that work to find where ledue was doing business... hes just falling off... a fact of life.

but straight up down.. dont talk to me about breaking bad, game of thrones... all that shyt... if u aint sayin true detective is the best show on tv... you probably have an iq under 100.

.

I'm not talking about present day Marty. The past Marty seems to be a complete fukk up. I mean he blew away Ledue which is the reason to why they havent caught the real killers. :beli;I dunno I mean we are all seeing rust in action but its annoying to me to see Marty bring nothing to the table as a cop.

But True Detective is the only show that you listed that is currently airing. So why would we talk about GoT and BB being amongst the best shows currently airing ?
