This iteration of true detective is only running one season for 8 episodes... so we've seen the majority of it already.

All you can do is compare it with the same sample size which is approximately one season... to me it puts GoT to shame... but i really do think that people put that show in a lower tier as opposed to breaking bad/mad men... and deservedly so.

I mean I can turn around now and start coppin pleas but theres no 5 episode run of breaking bad that stacks up against the first 5 eps of true detective... its simple as that.
GoT is top 5 dead or alive :mjpls:

I don't how its gonna work out, but that bit when cohle was talking about 4th dimensions and outside of time, looking down at this circular play called existence is the key to all this shyt. We're gonna get some hints of some supernatural shyt going on I think.

That 4th dimension shyt is represented by the spiral..."time is a flat circle, never ending or beginning" (to paraphrase)

Breh, explain :lupe:
The preacher gave the sign of the cross backwards , that's a devil sign he made. When Rust was saying look at these people and how dumb they are. Cut to the preacher talking about the masks we wear. The preacher did exactly what Rust was talking about he mocked his own flock by putting on a mask for them. Look up his name , it is close to a renowned cult leader from the past.

Do you think this show will venture into any flat-out supernatural stuff? It's walked the line at times. I don't think it will, but I like the undertones.

That black star on the left was the first thing I noticed. Another cool pick up, Rust is obviously an atheist, and dogs religion often. But, in both interrogation scenes they've shown where he's working a suspect, he takes on that role of being the vessel of them to confess, very much like a preacher. Both interrogations have shown Rust focusing on their need for redemption and to be forgiven. I find that interesting.

I'm glad you quoted these 2 things breh, because it ties into something I was just gonna post.

When Rust and Marty catch Reggie Ladoux he says this to Rust:

It's time isn't it....the black stars....black stars rise....I saw what happens next....I saw you in my dream....you're in Carcosa now....with me.....he (The King In Yellow) sees you....

"Cassilda's Song" from Robert W. Chambers "The King In Yellow" was already referenced on the show:

Along the shore the cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink behind the lake,
The shadows lengthen
In Carcosa.
Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies,
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa.
Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must die unheard in
Dim Carcosa.
Song of my soul, my voice is dead,
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
Shall dry and die in
Lost Carcosa

Now let's look back at the final scene:

Rust is surrounded by black stars. He's in Carcosa. :ohhh:

That's what I think they'll do. They'll keep adding creepy shyt that can be interpreted either way, similar to the movie "Session 9".

Found this quote on reddit:
Children are the newly awakened, those who have completed the life cycle in the flat circle of time. Children are precious for their innocent joy, that happiness that lingers in their waking dream, that era where they do not know themselves for what they are and all seems possible. Too soon, time brings them the realization that they are trapped in an eternal loop that even death cannot save them from. IA IA! Sacrifice them young before they become the rotting spoils of adulthood! Kill them before they know they are stuck and they may become angels! Free of the surly bonds of flesh and firma!
:ohhh:
